Old man Yong and Chen Hongjing stood on each side, looking at each other. At this moment, Chen Hongjing's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, while Old Man Yong crossed his arms on his chest and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, boy, today's fight is just to see how you have practiced during this period. What's the result? Don't give me face. Use all your strength to hit me." Old Man Yong pointed at his head.
Chen Hongjing had already prepared his fist posture and adjusted his breathing early. After adjusting his next breath, he flew out from two steps into one step. Halfway through, he jumped into the air with a bounce and turned his palm into a fist. , the target of that punch was directed towards Old Man Yong’s Tianling Gai.
Back to last night, when Chen Hongjing and the others returned to the cave, Old Man Yong was already holding a kiln chicken in one hand and a small pot of green plum wine bought by Tang Turing in the other. He was lying in front of the fire and took a sip. Chicken drumsticks, a sip of wine, and a slurp, not to mention how refreshing it is.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let me put down the delicious food in my hands and tell you something." Old Man Yong sat up straight and said solemnly.
Old Man Yong stretched out a finger and pointed around everyone, and finally stopped at Chen Hongjing: "Everyone here, except Tang Turing and Wang Ai, will accompany Chen Hongjing to Bu Xing Kingdom. "
"Wait, senior brother, this is absolutely impossible. We really need to let these children set off. If they meet Zhao Jishi or the masked person next to him, these children will die." Tang Turing immediately retorted.
How could the children set off alone when they couldn't even deal with their master? Although Zhao Jishi and the man wearing the mask showed only the sixth level of strength, Tang Turing absolutely did not believe that Zhao Jishi only had the sixth level of cultivation.
Old Man Yong poured himself a glass: "Why don't Master Tang talk to the principal?"
"Senior brother, aren't you trying to force others to do something difficult? You know that the principal is not here, and you don't tell me your thoughts no matter what, so you just let these children go. How can I not refuse!" Tang Turing was angry! shouted.
"Can you have any ideas? Isn't it obvious? We just want to use them as bait. Needless to say, Chen Hongjing is interested in the soul of Hong Zhishun. As for them, they are either like that back then. Being incited to rebel, either."
"Either we come back, that uncle Zhao Jishi doesn't like us at all, or he beats us and takes Hongjing away." Fan Xiaoxi picked up a branch from the ground and broke it in half , thrown into the fire. With a roar, the branches were quickly swallowed up by the flames.
This bait is indeed very tempting for Zhao Jishi. Even if a master is next to them, the temptation will be reduced. Zhao Jishi may find it troublesome, but he will still act. On the contrary, if you don't have a wife around you, instigating rebellion and stealing souls are not easy tasks. Even Hong Zhishun was able to successfully instigate rebellion, let alone these little villains.
"I'll go." Chen Hongjing said the word easily.
"What are you going for? You knew there was a fire pit in front of you, but you still jumped into it! If you are not careful, your life will be gone." Tang Turing immediately cursed.
"I said, Xiao Tang, after all you believe in me, your senior brother. With me here, how could Hong Zhishun's soul be pulled out so easily? When the time comes, old Zhao Ce can't resist them, and he will Without leaving Hong Zhishun’s soul, he can naturally take them to their final destination.” Old Man Yong said.
"Then, do you think they will have a chance to report the situation after they are caught?" Tang Turing asked again.
Old man Yong looked up at Tang Turing and shook his head: "I don't know about this. You have to ask Li Zhilan to find out."
Just when Tang Turing wanted to refute again, Chen Hongjing said the word "I'm going" again: "Master, believe in the principal, believe in the seniors, and believe in us."
Chen Hongjing looked at Tang Turing with a smile, and Tang Turing could only sigh, sit aside, pull off a chicken leg and eat it.
Old Man Yong continued to ask: "Very good, now that Bait has agreed, I wonder if the others are willing to accompany Bait on this trip?"
Fan Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Hey, senior brother is right. The bait is gone, how can we have any reason not to go? We can all go."
Old man Yong patted his thigh: "Very good, let's start dinner."
Back in time, when Chen Hongjing's fist was about to reach Old Man Yong's head, Old Man Yong smiled slightly, with his hands behind his back. A gust of wind came from the ground, using Old Man Yong as the center of the formation, completely blowing Old Man Yong. Wrap it up.
Chen Hongjing's fist hit the wind. In less than a breath, Chen Hongjing was thrown out by the wind.
Chen Hongjing staggered and steadied his feet, and the wind surrounding Old Man Yong disappeared. Old Man Yong stretched out three fingers and retracted one: "As promised, I'll give you three moves first, but you still have two more moves."
Chen Hongjing stood up, adjusted his breathing, and soon he kicked his legs and attacked Old Man Yong again.
Old Man Yong just stood there, watching Chen Hongjing's punch getting closer and closer to his chest, and had already thought of countermeasures. But at that moment, Chen Hongjing turned his fist into a palm and no longer struck at Old Man Yong's chest, but towards Old Man Yong's lower body.
Old Man Yong, who originally wanted to put his hands behind his back, had to use his hands to take Chen Hongjing's palms, and said with a smile: "You are smart, you have learned not to play according to the routine, but the moment you changed, you were obviously slow to come over. It has improved a bit, but there is still room for improvement.”
Old man Yong took Chen Hongjing's hands, first pulled them, and then pushed them forward. Chen Hongjing lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground and rolled several times in a row.
Chen Hongjing finally stopped and squatted down. He saw a figure on the ground. When he looked up, Old Man Yong was looking at him with his arms folded around his chest and smiling. Chen Hongjing immediately said: "What do you want to do? It's agreed." Three moves, and one more move.”
"Hmph, what I learned from you all of a sudden is that indeed, in a real battlefield, you never know what tricks your opponent will use, so I'm sorry, little kid."
"Ah!!!!" Chen Hongjing's voice echoed throughout the mountain.
Three hours later, only Wangai, Fan Xiaoxi, Old Man Yong, and Chen Hongjing were still awake after soaking in the medicine vat for several hours. In the battle between Old Man Yong and him, the moment Old Man Yong hit Chen Hongjing's face with his third punch, the outcome was already decided.
"Very good, done. I'll take this basket of dishes and chopsticks off the mountain." Wangai washed the last plate and put it into the basket.
"Okay, then I'll go down the mountain. But before going down, can I ask you a few questions?" Fan Xiaoxi asked.
"Ham, just ask if you have any questions. What a big deal." Like a cook, Wangai took off the clothes he wore in front of his clothes when cooking. These clothes are also called 蜜裳, 蜜蜳, 蜜衣, bibs or aprons are all worn when working because they are afraid of getting their clothes dirty.
Fan Xiaoxi smiled slightly: "Are you really not going to set off with us tomorrow? Are you going to listen to Old Man Yong and stay here?"
While packing up the remaining things, Wangai replied: "Who said I'm going to stay here? I've been here for a while, and it's time to go back to my hometown and see another little brat. Hongjing is here for you to watch. Come on, there’s nothing else to worry about.”
"Then the next question is, how did you appear in front of my cousin so cleverly and even fight him on an equal footing? I heard that the Hongshengdan from Jijiao was also a ruthless character that day. You are really just Did you happen to pass by on the way to find Hongjing?"
Wangai looked at Fan Xiaoxi and smiled: "Oh, let me ask you this, brother Xiaoxi, are you doubting me?"
Fan Xiaoxi nodded: "I've loved thinking about problems since I was a child. I can't figure this out, and I always keep it in my heart. It's uncomfortable. Of course, Brother Wangai, you can also doubt me."
Wang Ai chuckled: "It seems that I am really relieved that Hongjing is following you. Come, I will show you something, and you will know." Wang Ai took out something from his clothes Something in the palm of your hand.
Fan Xiaoxi took a look, said "Oh" meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Then my doubts are gone. Oh, I didn't expect Brother Wangai to be such a person. Then Hongjing is following us, you really have to let it go." Ten thousand hearts come. Brother Xi, I will carry this basket of dishes and go down the mountain first. We will see you tomorrow."
Wang'ai looked at Fan Xiaoxi who squeaked and ran down the mountain with the dishes on his shoulders. He couldn't help but smile. "I'm not that scary." Compared with the handsome senior brother, he is no big shot. The world is so big. , there are also many shortcomings. After all, no one is perfect.
Forget it, never mind, I still went to see if my good brother was awake. Wangai walked towards the medicine vat, but saw that Chen Hongjing had already woken up and was looking straight at the sky.
"Hey, my good brother, when did you wake up? What are you looking at the sky?" Wangai squatted down and looked at the firewood that was about to go out, and then continued: "This fire is about to go out. The effect is almost gone. Why don’t you get up?”
Chen Hongjing turned his head away and said calmly: "Actually, Lao Ai, I really want to know what other identity you have."
Wang Ai sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I actually don't intend to hide it from you. Let me show it to you." Wang Ai stretched out his hand, and there were three copper plates in the center of his palm.
Chen Hongjing looked at Wangai with some confusion: "Are you still a warlock?"
"It's just a new warlock who saved Fan Yintang with some tricks. Otherwise, do you think I can beat that guy?" Wangai waved his hand and said.
Chen Hongjing pointed to the copper plate in Wangai's hand and asked, "Did you rely on these few small things to find me?"
Wangai took back the three copper coins and said slowly: "You can say yes, you can say no. When I was traveling, I felt something was wrong while walking. Just like you said, a hexagram came up, and it was the next I signed the lottery, but I can’t understand the hexagram. I just didn’t want to go back to my hometown. Anyway, it hasn’t been a long time since I went back to see you.”
"You know I'm in danger when you go back?"
"That's not true. After we returned, Master Su and Liang Siheng told me that you and Zhong Xiaofan had gone out. Then I came here to find you."
"You've already calculated that you signed the contract, are you sure you don't want to look at me? When I'm gone, you'll regret it, I tell you." Chen Hongjing looked at Wangai with a disdainful look.
"Senior Yong said that nothing will happen to you. And I just signed the lottery, so it's not certain that you will die. Besides, you have so many friends watching around you. As the eldest brother, I feel very relieved. It's time. It’s time to temper yourself, otherwise, how could you save me, Grandpa Chen?”
Wangai deliberately looked at Chen Hongjing. It was obvious that Chen Hongjing's eyes dimmed when he mentioned Chen Moyuan. Then he patted Chen Hongjing on the shoulder and continued: "It's not like you haven't heard of Grandpa Chen's abilities along the way. Don't worry, he may be back before you finish this matter."
"Hey, who is worried about him? People who praised him along the way said that he can go to heaven and escape from the earth, and that he can do anything. I am too lazy to care about him." Chen Hongjing stopped talking to Wangai and continued to look at the sky, hoping It’s best that the old man is really fine.
Early the next morning, before the sun had risen, the streets had already begun to become lively. The walls of every street were filled with stalls, selling vegetables, dried fruits, and even dolls. also occupied a small corner early.
"Boss, I want this. Pack it for me."
"Okay, thirty coppers in total. Thank you, sir."
The boss took the copper plate from Wangai's hand, and Wangai took the doll from the boss's hand, and then gave it to Chen Hongjing behind him: "If I don't have anything to give you, just follow Zhong Xiaofan's example and give you his favorite wooden doll. "
Chen Hongjing took over the puppet. It was a chef wearing a hat and apron, with a thumbs up in his left hand and a kitchen knife in his right hand, holding it against his belly.
"The heroes Zhong Xiaofan gave me are either riding horses and carrying swords, or they are gods sitting on gourds and lotus flowers. It would be a good idea for you to give such a fat chef as a gift."
"Hey, isn't it good for a fat chef? Isn't your dream to be a chef? And what does being fat mean? It means that he has to try his own cooking every day and make it perfect every time before he can present it to customers. That’s a good, dedicated chef.”
Wang Ai gave a thumbs up to Chen Hongjing: "I hope you can become an excellent chef one day. By the way, you should know Taoist Master Bai from the study in my hometown. He asked me to bring you a sentence, saying that back then Among the eight people who rebelled with Hong Zhishun, one is by his side. It is Mai Chengning from Wangyou Hall, who is now accepted as a disciple by Taoist Master Bai."
"If Wangyoutang wants to return this person, go to Yougui Town to find him in person. Thank you for conveying the message, Mr. Tang. Everyone, I'll take my leave."
Tang Turing nodded, and sent Wangai away with everyone, and then sent Chen Hongjing and his party away. Looking at the departing figures one by one, Tang Turing looked at the sky, God, we must let the children go once and for all. Accept such a big test? You can't take it slowly step by step.
However, no one knows that this step of test given by God is the easiest step in their lives.
——
At a waterfall dozens of miles away from Shuiyang Kingdom, Li Nizhao and Zhao Jishi were sitting in front of the waterfall in an upright manner, and they could even exchange a few words with the Chai Fu and the hunter who were passing by.
Li Mizhao said with a smile: "Your brother is a little hasty in this move. He has obviously shown you his trump card. It seems to be telling you, brother, I have shown my trump card. If you have the ability, you can do it." Show it to my brother and let me take a look."
"Yes, if you said you wouldn't tempt me, that must be a lie. Just let a few children set off on their own in such an open and honest manner without even bringing a wife with them. Since my brother has been so sincere to me, I will reciprocate the favor. Let’s just show some of our trump cards.”
Zhao Jishi picked up a stone on the ground and threw it into the pool with all his strength. Compared with the huge waves hit by the waterfall, how big the ripples caused by the stone would be. Just like people, a false statement from a powerful and high-ranking person can overturn the entire world, while a truth from a person living at the bottom with a life like a grassroots can only be drowned in the huge waves.
Zhao Jishi looked at the sun and slowly raised his left hand to catch the sun. I, Zhao Jishi, want to change this unfair world and create a world of great harmony.
