After another year, Yin Susu gave birth to a son.
When everyone was drinking together some time ago, Xie Xun spoke frankly about his life experience. When he mentioned that his parents, wife and children were all slaughtered by Master Cheng Kun, the "Hunyuan Thunder Hand", although his expression was calm and his words were plain, he felt the deepest sorrow and sorrow in his heart. Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, who were listening on the sidelines, felt the hatred.
When he saw Xie Xun using the gentlest movements to pick up the little guy he had officially adopted as his adopted son, and even his long-blind eyes seemed to be shining with the light of incomparable love, Zhang Cuishan suddenly had an idea in his heart.
He quietly discussed with his wife and convinced Yin Susu, who was somewhat reluctant. He also invited Hu Yuan as a witness and promised Xie Xun in person that the child would change his surname to Xie and inherit Xie Xun's legacy.
Xie Xun was so happy that he transferred the name of his only son "Xie Wuji" who had died young to the child, and promised Zhang Cuishan and his wife that from now on he would regard this child as his own and would rather give up his own life to protect this child. The child will be safe forever.
With his promise like this, Yin Susu, who had always been a little awkward, finally felt relieved.
Because Yin Susu supplemented octopus meat, which is rich in the vitality of heaven and earth, during her pregnancy, the child's physique was indeed far better than that of ordinary children. Although she was born in this bitterly cold place in the far north, she has always been healthy and disease-free.
When the child was full moon, Hu Long took out some elixirs from the space of the jade gourd, and ordered Zhang Cuishan and his wife to take the amount he told them every day, dissolve it in hot water and bathe the child.
Every once in a while, he would personally use the "Golden Needle Diagnosis" technique on the child to clear his meridians and digest the medicine.
Thanks to his innate talent and nurture, this child was able to speak and walk early on.
It's just that Xie Xun, who loves his adopted son, dotes on and protects him, and Hu Long, who has a quick temper and is tireless in destroying others, plus Xiong Daxiong Er, a pair of lazy guys who help him do harm, made him start to be naughty and mischievous when he was a little older. A slightly larger one would almost overturn the entire island.
Zhang Cuishan and his wife, the real parents, sometimes saw that their son was really making trouble and wanted to discipline him. Xiao Wuji would either call him "adopted father" to his left and "Uncle Taoist" to his right to call for reinforcements; Zhang Lengzi turned over and rode on the back of the white bear, and escaped without a trace.
Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu always cried out for help, but over time they could only let it go.
After all, Hu Long and Xie Xun didn't just indulge Xiao Wuji, so that although he was naughty, he was not naughty.
For example, under the guidance of Hu Long, Xiao Wuji would go hunting the animals on the island with Xiong Da and Xiong Er when he was greedy, but usually he would just ride a white bear and chase them until they were all happy. , will never kill indiscriminately for his own good.
Suddenly, it has been five years since the four of them arrived on this desert island that has been officially named "Ice and Fire Island".
That night, Zhang Cuishan and his wife had just coaxed Xiao Wuji to sleep when Hu Long suddenly used the method of "thousand-mile sound transmission" to send the sound to their ears from a distance of seven or eight miles, and invited them to come and talk to Xie Xun.
When the three of them heard this, they immediately thought of something Hu Long said not long ago. They immediately did not dare to neglect, left the cave where they lived, and came to Hu Long's side together using Qinggong.
Hu Long had already placed food and wine at the entrance of the cave and invited the three of them to sit down with a smile.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Cuishan's face immediately showed a sad look, and asked: "Taoist Priest, do you really want to return to China first?"
It turned out that during the past five years, Hu Long had actually cut down trees and built ships that could sail, and he built two ships at a time.
Zhang Cuishan and others asked him why he wanted to build two ships. He replied that he would need to return to China to make arrangements within three to five years. As for Zhang Cuishan, his wife and Xie Xun, on the one hand, Xiao Wuji was young and could not withstand the storms at sea, and on the other hand, the three of them were involved in many grievances and grievances. Therefore, it is best to stay on the island for a few more years, and then quietly return after Xiao Wuji is a little older and things have faded away a bit.
A few days ago, the seasons changed and the wind direction changed. Hu Long once said that he was about to set sail. The wine tonight was naturally the wine of farewell.
Hu Long said with a smile: "Pindao is just a step ahead. It can take as short as three years or as long as five years before we can meet again in China. In the past few years, Pindao has laid the internal and external foundation for Wuji, and now he can build a solid foundation for Wuji." He started learning martial arts.
"The Wudang sect's kung fu is Zhengping. Cuishan can teach him some introductory kung fu first. The sword skills that Pindao promised can only be practiced after he is fifteen years old. As for literacy and reading, it is best to leave it to Xie Shi King. Cuishan, you have a soft temper. If your children imitate your behavior, they may suffer in the future.
"In addition, you and your wife can each write a letter, and I will forward it to your respective masters, fathers and brothers on your behalf, so that they will not miss you too much."
After five years of getting along, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu had long been impressed by Hu Yuan's knowledge of martial arts, and they respected him as a teacher. Now after listening to his instructions, they could only obey his orders respectfully without daring to question.
Xie Xun was open-minded and did not show any sadness or sorrow. He just toasted Hu Yuan with several bowls of wine and wished him smooth sailing.
The only fly in the ointment is that the wine stored in Hu Long's jade gourd was completely finished the year before last. Now he is drinking new wine brewed by Hu Long from the wild fruits on the island. The taste is mellow, but it is not as strong as the wine brewed from grains. .
After a farewell banquet, Zhang Cuishan and his wife returned to their residence to take care of their children.
Xie Xun waited for Zhang Cuishan and his wife to walk a little further away, drank the remaining wine in the bowl in one gulp, with a look of nostalgia on his face, and sighed: "During the years when Xie was in the Holy Cult, because he read several military books in his early years, Therefore, the leader of the Yang Cult had great trust and was ordered to select elites from the congregation of each branch to create the Five Elements Flag as a direct combat force under the leadership of the main altar. From the flag bearers of each banner to the backbone of the subordinates, in addition to respecting the leader of the Yang Cult To give an order is to thank someone for his leadership.
"In the past, Leader Yang disappeared. If Xie also participated in the fight for the leader's position... Hey, whether it is Yang Xiao, the most respected left envoy of light under the leader, or Yin Tianzheng, the oldest and most senior White-browed Eagle King, I just have to stand aside. Even if Yang Xiao squeezes out Yin Baimei and takes over the Holy Land of Guangmingding, he can't command the Five Elements Flag, so he can only create the four gates of wind, rain, thunder and lightning as wings."
Hu Long had no doubt about this, and he also guessed that the reason why Cheng Kun killed Xie Xun's parents, wife and children under the pretense of drunken sexual intercourse in the past was that the most direct purpose was to prevent Xie Xun from competing for the position of leader, lest he To restore the disintegration of Mingjiao.
Xie Xun took out a piece of tanned animal skin from his arms, handed it to Hu Long, and said: "This is a letter written by Xie to the flag bearer of the Five Elements Flag. The Taoist priest only needs to give it to the Five Elements Banner." If you read it in person, you will definitely get the full support of the Five Elements Flag. At that time, you will either establish a new stove or simply take the position of leader. Everything will be decided by the Taoist Master."
Hu Long coughed slightly and said, "Thank you to the Lion King for trusting Pindao so much, but Pindao is a little scared."
Xie Xun said: "After five years of being together, Xie is confident that he understands the Taoist priest to a certain extent. Since you are determined to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, you need to start building your power. But with the Taoist priest's temperament, you will definitely not start from scratch. Such a large Mingjiao has no leader. , I’m afraid the Taoist Priest has already taken care of him!”
Hu Long also knew that his thoughts could not be hidden from this Mingjiao Dharma King, who was both civilized and military. He laughed and took the animal skin, and then said: "I am ashamed to accept the kindness of Xie Shiwang, and I must repay him in the future." On the day when China and Earth reunite, I will definitely give you a big gift in return!"
Turning around, Hu Long took the two white bears who were determined to follow him life and death, boarded one of the two boats anchored by the island, waved to the three large and small people on the sea, and raised his hands to sew animal skins. The sail was riding the increasingly strong north wind to break the waves to the south.
In less than a moment, the lone sail disappeared from the sight of Xiao Wuji's tearful eyes.
