Yandang Mountain is not far from Pingyang County. Xiong Da and Xiong Er, who were used as foot power by Hu Long, ran as fast as ordinary horses. By nightfall, they had arrived at the headquarters of the "Sky Eagle Sect" named "Motian Village" in the mountain. rudder.
When Xiong Da and Xiong Er, who were nearly twice the size of ordinary bears, appeared at the entrance of the "Motian Village", the members of the "Sky Eagle Sect" who were guarding the wall were really startled. They strung their bows and unsheathed their swords one by one. , the leader shouted sternly at Hu Long on Xiong Da’s back: “When the Taoists below heard this, they immediately told those two monsters to stop, otherwise we will release arrows!”
"Slow down, slow down!"
Hu Long first ordered the two bears to stop, then nodded towards the wall of the village and said with a smile,
"You don't have to worry. These two bears were raised by poor Taoist families and will not hurt anyone. Could someone please inform the leader of your sect, Master Yin, and say that a Taoist named Hu Long who returned from overseas made a special visit and brought Master Yin with him? The daughter’s family letter.”
"The leader's daughter?"
Everyone on the wall immediately went into chaos after hearing this. Five years ago, the "Sky Eagle Sect" held a sword-raising ceremony in Wangpanshan. As a result, the leader Qianjin Yin Susu who presided over the conference disappeared together with Zhang Cuishan, the "Iron Painting and Silver Hook" of the Wudang Sect. , the remaining disciples of Kunlun Sect, Haisha Clan, Giant Whale Clan, Divine Fist Sect and other large and small sects who attended the meeting all turned into stupid idiots, which triggered a five-year dispute between the "Sky Eagle Sect" and the participating sects. Vendetta.
Now, they suddenly heard that the fat Taoist riding a white bear said that he had brought a letter from the leader's daughter. Although everyone could not believe it, they did not dare to be negligent at all. At that time, a leader ordered Hu Huan to wait where he was, and he walked as fast as Enclave ran to report to the leader.
Hu Yuan was not in a hurry, and sat safely on Xiong Da's back. He looked around to observe the situation of this "sky village" and saw that it was located in a place where wind and water gathered. It was built against the mountains and was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The fortress wall is strong and tall, with arrow towers and watchtowers scattered at intervals. The church members guarding it wear the same uniform and use standard weapons. They look vigorous and behave in a well-mannered manner. They are vaguely more than ordinary martial arts gangs, and have the fierce fighting spirit of a military force. meteorological.
Not long after, the closed door of the village suddenly opened, and a tall old man in black robes with long eyebrows like snow strode out, followed by a man in white robes in his thirties.
Nowadays, Hu Yuan has fully recovered his cultivation and is a very accomplished grandmaster. At that time, he judged by his subtle Qi sensing that these two people were actually innate master-level masters. Of course, the old man in front was much more profound. many.
At the helm of the "Sky Eagle Sect" and being an innate master, Hu Long could naturally guess that the visitors were Yin Susu's father, "White-browed Eagle King" Yin Tianzheng, and his brother Yin Yewang.
Since it was the rightful owner who came to greet him in person, Hu Yuan was not comfortable sitting on the bear's back, so he immediately got down to the ground sideways and took a few steps forward to greet him.
After the two sides walked across each other, Yin Tianzheng couldn't wait to hold his hands and said: "I am Yin Tianzheng. Is this Taoist priest really bringing my daughter's home letter?"
Hu Long returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "As expected, it was Master Yin in person. Hu Long, a poor Taoist with the Taoist name 'Taipuzi', had a fate with Ling Qianjin and Zhang Wuxia of the Wudang sect five years ago. They were both exiled in an overseas ship after the ship they were traveling in was wrecked. On a deserted island. This year, Pindao had to return to China in advance, so it was a bit inconvenient for Qianjin, and he would have to wait for another three to five years, so he wrote a letter home and asked Pindao to forward it to Master Yin."
After that, he took out a roll of tightly tied animal skin from his sleeve and handed it to Yin Tianzheng.
King Yin Ye on the side frowned and asked: "What's inconvenient for my sister? Why can you come back, but she can't come back. And what's the thank you..."
"Wild King!" Yin Tianzheng became angry and shouted sternly to stop his son from saying what he said next, "The Taoist priest who can bring the news about Su Su is the benefactor of our Yin family. How dare you be so rude and disrespectful, and don't say anything to him?" Taoist priest, apologize!"
King Yin Ye seemed to realize that he had made a mistake, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize to the little Taoist priest in front of him who looked to be in his twenties, so he just bowed his hands in a hasty manner.
Yin Tianzheng first took the animal skin roll from Hu Yuan's hand with both hands, and then said sideways: "Taoist priest has worked hard all the way, please come to the humble house to rest for a while, let Yin prepare a small amount of wine to express his gratitude."
Hu Yuan smiled and said: "Master Yin's words are serious, but the poor Taoist is about to disturb him."
At the moment, Yin Tian was guiding the way, while King Yin Ye could only stay behind with Xiong Da and Xiong Er.
This also made King Yin Ye very dissatisfied. He didn't know why his father was so polite to this little Taoist priest with an unspectacular appearance.
The three of them arrived at the stronghold together. Hu Long was warmly invited by Yin Tianzheng and sat down in the front hall. He left the two white bears at the door, one on the left and one on the back, squatting obediently, just like the auspicious beasts guarding the gate.
Yin Tianzheng first ordered tea and wine to be served, and then apologized to Hu Yuan and opened his daughter's letters in person. King Yin Ye also came over to watch together.
In the letter, Yin Susu first said that everything was fine and that she had married Zhang Cuishan and had a son. She also explained that because the child was still young, she would wait for him to grow up in a few years before crossing the sea and returning to the south. Secondly, she solemnly told Hu Longdao who sent the letter. The elder is an unparalleled senior figure. Please treat your father and elder brother with courtesy and not offend him.
Yin Tianzheng and his son saw that the letter was indeed written by Yin Susu, especially since there was a secret monogram at the end that she was the head of the "Ziwei Hall" of the "Sky Eagle Sect", so they did not doubt the authenticity of the letter.
Yin Tianzheng was silent for a while, while King Yin Ye asked Hu Yuan with some surprise: "My sister-in-law called the Taoist Master 'Senior' in her letter. Forgive Yin for being clumsy, but dare I ask, what is your age?"
Hu Long smiled calmly and said, "I don't dare. I have lived forty-five years in vain. I just practiced some Qi training and health-preserving techniques, so my face looks a little tender."
The King of Yin Ye was dumbfounded and said to himself: "How can you be tender-faced? You are obviously so tender that you can't help but be wet. If those wives and concubines in my house knew about this, they would even break their heads and ask you to teach Nao Shizi how to do it." The art of qi health'!"
Yin Tianzheng was thinking about another thing, but he did not ask Hu Huan immediately. Instead, he scolded Zhang Cuishan with a stern look, saying that this famous Wudang hero was really not a son of a man, so he cheated him away without a matchmaker or a retainer. His precious daughter will break her legs without saying a word when they meet in the future. The old father who loves his daughter completely and the old father-in-law who dislikes her uncle have two faces.
After cursing for a long time, he read the letter several times, rerolled it and carefully put it in his arms.
Just at this time, someone brought wine and food outside, and Yin Tianzheng immediately invited Hu Yuan to the table.
The two sat opposite each other, and King Yin Ye stood side by side to accompany them.
Yin Tianzheng signaled King Yin Ye to start pouring the wine, and then raised his glass to Hu Huan repeatedly, expressing indescribable gratitude.
Hu Long drank until his glass was dry and fully accepted the other party's hospitality.
After drinking for three rounds, Yin Tianzheng asked inadvertently: "May I ask, sir, how is my dear brother Xie Xun doing these years? Speaking of which, we old brothers have not seen each other for many years, which really makes me worried. .”
Hu Long was startled for a moment, and then he understood that Yin Susu, a smart woman, must have known her father and brother very well, and knew that even if she explained the truth about the "Dragon Slaying Knife", they might not believe it, so she simply did not mention Xie Xun's matter at all, in order to avoid too much trouble. Cause trouble.
But she never thought that at the Wang Panshan Conference, although Xie Xun used the Lion's Roar Kung Fu to shock everyone present into dementia, he missed Bai Guishou, the master of the Xuanwu Altar of the "Sky Eagle Sect" who was seriously injured and unconscious beforehand, so that Yin Tianzheng Father and son already knew that it was Xie Xun who took the knife and kidnapped the man.
At this moment, Yin Tianzheng seemed to be asking casually. Naturally, what he was concerned about was not his sworn brother Xie Xun, who had parted ways long ago, but the dragon-slaying sword that was said to be able to command the world.
