Zhang San and Situ Zhong walked to the edge of the boulder with questions in their minds. They had already seen clearly who the person was, and they also saw the horses tied behind the boulder.
"Coming?" The man on the boulder said aloud after hearing the sound of approaching steps, then stood up and jumped down from the boulder.
When Zhang San saw this man from a distance, he expected that he was going to block their path. But when he got closer, heard his tone, and saw the horses, he felt that the truth was not what he thought.
"Should we go to Danxia Villa or Changsheng Villa first?" the young man asked again. This young man was undoubtedly Jiang Yichen. The big bamboo hat was picked up by Jiang Yichen in the pavilion earlier.
"Young Master Jiang, who is this?" Situ Zhong had guessed what he meant and suddenly felt a little moved, but he still had doubts in his heart and hoped that Jiang Yichen could give a definite answer.
"I don't dare to take the word young knight seriously. It's because I'm so arrogant." Jiang Yichen suddenly smiled and then said, "Just now when everyone was going to sleep, I accidentally saw the two of them winking at each other, so I paid attention and thought about it carefully. Next, the two of you were probably worried about the long night and many dreams, so you planned to go to Danxia Villa and Changsheng Villa to explore the situation at night. If the other party was on guard, you would come back to discuss with everyone after finding out the enemy's situation. If the other party was unprepared, you could find a good opportunity. , you two can wait for an opportunity to take revenge. I wonder if you are satisfied with my analysis. If you don't dislike it, I hope you can bring your younger brother with you, so that the three of you can take care of each other."
Just when Jiang Yichen was halfway through his words, the two of them had already dismounted. When he finished speaking, Zhang San's thick hands were already tightly holding Jiang Yichen's shoulders. He couldn't utter a word for a long time. If it weren't for the cover of the night, who would have known about these five big and three thick things. The great monk would be so sentimental and shed tears again.
The two of them couldn't tell whether Jiang Yichen's martial arts was powerful or not, but he was extremely adaptable when facing the enemy, and he was constantly using all kinds of fancy tricks. With his help, he might be even more powerful for them, not to mention that he was just a sidekick to them. Because of the fate, he is willing to accompany them to take risks together. This true feeling is touching.
"What do you want, Young Master Jiang?" Situ Zhong on the other side was much calmer than Zhang San. He felt that Jiang Yichen had other motives for helping him.
"Hey, Situ, don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. Young Master Jiang didn't know us at first. Being able to help each other at the crossroads shows that the young knight has a chivalrous heart. Besides, we have nothing now. What else could he want?" Zhang San turned around and scolded Situ Zhong.
Situ Zhong was deeply apologetic when his father-in-law said something to him, but he still had unanswered doubts in his heart. If he didn't ask for clarification, it would be difficult for him to feel at ease.
Jiang Yichen was very embarrassed to see Zhang San speaking for him like this. This time, Situ Zhong really guessed that he still had some selfish motives.
"Internal strength." "Inner strength."
Situ Zhong and Jiang Yichen said in unison.
Zhang San froze when he heard this, and after a while he finally spoke, "Young Master Jiang wants to learn the method of sitting without form and forgetting your mind?"
"To be more precise, I hope to observe and learn. I know that this request is very abrupt and may be a bit excessive, but I am troubled by the difficulty of being unable to practice internal skills. Therefore, if there is any way to solve the current predicament, I will Don't want to miss it." Jiang Yichen scratched his head and confessed directly to the two of them.
"Hey...that's it." After hearing this, Situ Zhong looked at Zhang San with a haughty look on his face, as if saying to him, "Look, I'm right."
But Zhangsan paused there. After a while, he looked at Situ Zhong, wanting to hear Situ Zhong's opinion. He saw that Situ Zhong did not speak, but raised his chin and kept pointing at himself, meaning "Now You are the boss and everything you say is right.”
"Ahem." Zhangsan cleared his throat, as if he was about to announce some important decision, "The Wuxiang Sect suffered this battle today, and very few survived. Even if it is for the sake of the inheritance of the sect, the internal skills and mental methods are passed on to Jiang Shaoxia. There is nothing wrong with it. I think the Patriarch and several sect leaders can understand it. There is no pen and ink here. When I come back, I will write down this method of sitting without form and forgetting my mind and give it to the young hero."
After Zhang San finished speaking, he glanced at Situ Zhong and asked if he agreed with this approach, and Situ Zhong also gave a positive response like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Then I'd like to thank you both first." Jiang Yichen clasped his fists in thanks.
After that, the three of them took advantage of the darkness and rode as fast as possible to Danxia Villa.
Although the Wuxiang Sect rarely interacts with the outside world, the situation within Wudang is clear. From the two people's mouths, Jiang Yichen learned the general situation of the two villas.
The origin of Changsheng Village can be traced back to decades ago. A lay disciple of the Wudang Sect, who was tired of the secular world at the age of knowing his destiny, took out all his belongings and abandoned his family to pursue immortality and sense the destiny. Villa. This villa is not large in scale, but it is located close to mountains and rivers. It is considered a lucky place in Feng Shui.
This lay disciple renamed himself Wang Changsheng, and also named the villa Changsheng Villa. For three years, he developed elixirs in the villa like a madman, constantly refining various precious and famous medicines, just to obtain the elixir of immortality. Because he was too obsessed with it and forgot all about food and sleep, he became worried about gains and losses. Finally, after a failed elixir refining, he suffered from heart failure and died suddenly in the villa not long after he left. He was still strong when he built the villa three years ago, and finally But he did not end well on the road to pursuing immortality.
The incident at Changsheng Village was not a glorious thing, but Wang Changsheng was also a well-known person in his own life. He always claimed to be a disciple of Wudang. With his death, Changsheng Village was like a rag hanging in the name of Wudang. Down, lingering. Then the head of Wudang took over the villa out of helplessness, and started a new business here to refine some of the elixirs needed for the sect, thus making full use of this geomantic treasure.
Danxia Villa was built after Changsheng Village and during the heyday of Wudang. At that time, the Wudang Sect was famous all over the world for its Tai Chi. The elixirs they refined could either strengthen the body or prolong life. They were also praised as miraculous. Several elders who were very happy with their achievements instigated the headmaster to build the Danxia Villa in Danxia Mountain, specifically for the purpose of refining elixirs.
Since then, Danxia Villa and Changsheng Villa have been the alchemy rooms of the Wudang Sect. This continued until more than ten years ago. After the Wudang Sect suddenly chose to hide from the world, these two villas were abandoned.
In the following years, some clowns came out to cause trouble. Several gangs in and around Wudang, such as the Giant Whale Gang, the Iron Shark Gang, the Money Gang, the White Pigeon Hall, the Drinking Water Hall, etc., competed for the two masters. The Villa was beaten to a bloody head and severely injured, but in the end, it was easier for a group of gangsters to come. These gangsters did not have any gang names, but among them were many desperadoes wanted by the court, and their strength was even greater. In order to become stronger, they crushed those three religions and nine schools and became kings in Danxia Villa. However, the original small gangs could only be sent to Changsheng Villa to fight for that place. After what happened in the past, these small gangs no longer had much strength, so they had to abandon their past grievances together. Bingheyi and Danxia Villa compete with each other.
After several years of development, except for the increase in the number of bandits in Changsheng Village, there has not been much improvement. Xiang Zhonggui and Tu Fang are already considered rare masters among them. On the other side, Danxia Villa is prosperous. Although it is a gang, it is quite large. There are three masters in the village. Among them, Chef Bing and Sangmen Dao Jiang Zheng, Jiang Yichen has seen it before, and the most powerful one is that Qin Dahai, the demon king who is good at wielding double hammers.
The two villas struggled with each other, but Danxia Villa always overpowered Changsheng Villa. Therefore, in order to seek peace, the bandits in Changsheng Villa finally surrendered to Danxia Villa and charged for it. Most of the minions who came to Wuxiang Sect today were from Changsheng Villa. However, except for the two giants who came to Danxia Villa, there were only more than twenty minions. With the blessing of the medicine, these minions were able to survive until the last moment. They were picked up one by one at the intersection.
In the battle of Wuxiang Sect, Changsheng Villa suffered heavy losses. More than seventy people from their side died, and two generals were lost. Danxia Villa also suffered a lot of losses. One of the three masters was casually killed. It was a big blow to anyone, but thanks to Pao Bing's cleverness, he escaped with his life.
I don’t know if Pao Bing has escaped back to the village, or if Danxia Villa will respond to their infiltration.
Jiang Yichen, Zhang San, and Situ Zhong galloped all the way, discussing the strategies after entering the village, and finally arrived not far from Danxia Villa before dawn.
Danxia Villa is embedded in the rugged mountains, and the only known entrance is the main entrance of the villa. Out of caution, so as not to alert others, the three of them could only hide the horses before taking a detour back to the entrance of the villa on foot.
