Li Yu was raised above his head with one hand by the man in black. The man's hand seemed to be on his waist. No matter how hard Li Yu struggled, he could not get rid of the man's hand. After struggling for a while, Li Yu was tired. , Although he was still dissatisfied, he had to admit defeat and said: "Put me down, you won." Although there was only a short confrontation, Li Yu could clearly feel that this person's martial arts was far superior to his, and even felt that , it is possible that even his master Zhao Shu may not be able to defeat him.
The man in black put Li Yu down with a slight flick, turned around and said, "Then, young hero, please come with me."
Li Yu asked in surprise: "Let's go? Where are we going?"
The man in black turned his back to Li Yu, glanced at him sideways, and said, "Since you have lost, young hero, you are willing to admit defeat. Then you will be my apprentice from now on. What is your name?"
Li Yu reluctantly said "Ah" and said, "My name is Ouyang Yu."
The man in black said: "As far as I know, the owner of Yinlong Villa is named Li. His wife's surname is Ouyang. They have a son, who should be you." After speaking, the man in black turned around and said with He looked at Li Yu with sharp eyes, seeming to remind Li Yu not to tell lies.
After hearing this, Li Yu sighed and said, "Yes. My name is Li Yu. I am the owner of Yinlong Villa and the son of Li Zhentian and Zhurenmen Ouyang Lan."
The man in black nodded and said, "If you like it, you can take your mother's surname."
Li Yu shook his head, turned his face to one side, and said without looking at the man in black, "No. My real name is Li Yu, and I am a descendant of the Li family. The reason why I am called Ouyang Yu is to temporarily hide my identity. That's all." Li Yu turned his face, cupped his fists and faced the man in black, and said: "Senior, I am willing to admit defeat and agree to be your apprentice. But I still have some items that need to be retrieved, please give me one day. One day later , I will go look for senior again."
The man in black said: "Since you agreed to be my apprentice, you will call me master from now on. Where are you going to retrieve the items?"
"In a village in the woods outside Xiaolin Town."
"Your stronghold?"
"Yes. I have some personal belongings that I want to retrieve."
"That's right. You are the leader of those bandits after all. You might as well go back and explain."
"No, Master, I am not their leader. I have only been with them for three days, including today."
The man in black frowned and asked: "You are not their leader, so why are you so desperate when saving people? Are you always so desperate in doing things?"
Li Yu smiled bitterly and said: "In this matter, I blame myself. My mother has taught me since I was a child that when I promise others, I must try my best to complete it. I once promised that person's father that I will definitely take him back. , so I can’t break my promise.”
The man in black said: "Then you can go back to Yinlong Villa and find some experts. With your father's ability, it should be easy to save someone in this small county jail."
Li Yu's expression became a little serious and said: "I promised others that I would solve it myself. Why should I ask my father! He is him and I am me."
The man in black looked at Li Yu, then looked up again, remembering that at this age, he was so stubborn and always felt that he could solve anything, which led to the subsequent tragedy. The man in black said: "Okay, I will go with you. However, one thing I still want to say is that bandits are not good people, and it is natural for them to be caught by the government. If you really want to help others, you should help those who are being bullied. Weak people, instead of helping those who commit crimes and violate laws, help the evildoers."
Li Yu was awakened by the words of the man in black. yes! I really only sympathized with their plight and forgot that they were a group of bandits! When they brandished steel knives and robbed others, did they ever think about those who were robbed? Thinking of this, Li Yu felt a sense of regret and felt that he had done something wrong.
Seeing Li Yu immersed in thought, the man in black said, "Let's go, go get your things back first." Li Yu nodded, and the two of them used Qinggong and walked quickly towards Xiaolin Town. Because Li Yu is not a local resident, he doesn't know if there is a shortcut. We had to walk back to Xiaolin Town along the original road, and then return to the village from Xiaolin Town. By the time Li Yu and the two returned to the entrance of the village, it was already evening.
The man in black stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the dense and crisscrossing woods, and said with a sideways smile, "This formation is very useful."
Li Yu said: "Master, can you see it?"
The man in black said: "The Chaos Wood Formation. The Cloud of War Art is so insignificant as to be invisible. It is used to avoid the reality and confuse the opponent. By changing the position of the woods, a hidden barrier is formed. If you are not an experienced person, you will not be able to see it at all. I can’t tell whether this forest is real or not, I just think it’s a dense forest.”
Li Yu said: "Master, how did you see it?"
The man in black said: "The chaotic wood formation is mainly made of wood. Wood corresponds to the stem in Bagua, and the stem position is east, so the orientation of these trees is eastward. Moreover, these trees seem to be crisscrossed and disordered. But there are patterns between trees."
Li Yu listened for a long time, confused, not understanding a word, pursed his lips and said: "Let's go in first." Li Yu went to turn on the switch of the Chaos Wood Array, and the trees opened a path to both sides. Li Yu led the man in black into the road. When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw all the men in the village discussing something at the entrance of the village. They were discussing fiercely and did not notice that Li Yu and a man in black were walking towards here.
Li Yu vaguely heard Li Chunlin's voice, "Brothers, this time there is a new magistrate from Xinyang County. I think he is a good person. When I was first imprisoned in the prison, he came to me in person to question me. Although I didn't say anything, and he wasn't angry. Moreover, I still asked the government officials to take good care of me and not torture me. When the magistrate left, he also said that as long as I was willing to change my ways and be a good person, they would give me a lighter sentence. "
Zhang Haiwei asked loudly: "Li Chunlin, what do you mean? Are we discussing how to rescue Brother Ouyang now?"
Li Chunlin said: "Brother Haiwei, we have been here for a year, and we have been making a living by blocking roads and robbing people. We don't have good food and clothing, and we live in fear all day long."
Chen Erdong retorted: "Li Chunlin, the county magistrate is probably lying to you. Those officials are the best at doing one thing in front of others and another behind others. They probably want to use you to find us all. You can't fall in love with them." Sure."
Another person said: "Yes! I still think Brother Haiwei's suggestion is good. Let's catch a few people and use them to replace Brother Ouyang."
Li Chunlin looked at Liu Cheng on the side and said: "Brother Liu, you are older, please tell us what is the way out for us here. A few days ago, your wife was sick, and she didn't even dare to see a doctor. She had to stay up for several days. God, I just got through it. I think we can go to the county magistrate and surrender, and maybe it will give us a stable life."
Liu Chengdao: "What can I do? Still be a tea farmer? Among us tea merchants of all sizes in Xinyang County, who is not a person with a lot of money! Don't say that I don't have land now, even if I have land, I can sell what I grow. If you don't go out, it's just a waste of time. I agree with Brother Haiwei's idea, let's just tie up the money. He is a big shot, and it would be perfect to exchange him for Ouyang Daxia."
Zhang Haiwei said: "Chunlin, what kind of ecstasy soup did the county magistrate give you? Now you want to surrender and return to your previous life, is it possible? I forgot how could Guo Laoer in your original town collude with the county government and destroy your family?" Have all the land and houses been occupied?”
Li Chunlin said: "Those were all matters handled by the previous magistrate. I think the current magistrate is a sensible person, and I believe he will definitely make the decision for us."
Chen Erdong sarcastically said: "If you don't dare to go out anymore, just say so! Once I see you in jail, you will be frightened. From now on, you will stay in the village and look after the house with those old ladies. It's a shame to Ouyang, the hero, for working so hard." Save you, you turned out to be such a white-eyed wolf."
"Okay! No need to save me, I'm back." Li Yu walked into the crowd and said to everyone.
Seeing Li Yu coming back, Li Chunlin immediately ran to Li Yu's side. He looked up and down carefully, then touched Li Yu's body, and then gave himself a slap. It was indeed not a dream. He said excitedly: "Master Ouyang , you're back!" Everyone came together. They had heard Li Chunlin talk about the situation at that time. It was Ouyang Yu who risked his life to save him and he was able to come back. Therefore, everyone admired Ouyang Yu very much.
Everyone gathered around Li Yu, asking questions. Li Chunlin was particularly excited and wanted to take Li Yu to his house for dinner and thank him in person for his kindness. No one cared about Zhang Haiwei. Zhang Haiwei stood aside, his head slightly lowered, his face very ugly. He didn't expect that Ouyang Yu could come back, and he didn't seem to be injured at all. He closed his lips tightly, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself, the county government and Qian are not both Are you a freeloader? This will also allow him to run back! But Zhang Haiwei's appearance caught the eye of the man in black.
Li Yu said to Li Chunlin: "I accept your kindness. You tell your father that I have done what I promised him. When I come back this time, I just pack my things and leave." Li Yu turned around and looked behind him. The man in black.
Li Chunlin pulled Li Yu's door, showing a reluctant look, and said: "No, no matter what I say today, you have to come to my house! I have to thank you very much!"
Li Yu said with some embarrassment: "I promised my master that I would just come back to pick up some things and then go with him."
Li Chunlin said: "Your master?"
Li Yu said: "Yes. The master I just worshiped is the one who saved me today. Otherwise, if you want to see me, you will probably have to go to the prison to see me."
Li Chunlin said: "It doesn't matter if it's one night, I'll go tell him."
"Hey, don't." Li Yu wanted to stop Li Chunlin, but Li Chunlin had already strode up to the man in black, clasped his fists and said, "Master Ouyang Daxia, today I escaped from the prison with the help of your apprentice. I want to invite him to my house for a nice meal tonight to thank him for his kindness, and I want to keep him one night, please allow me."
The man was wearing a black turban and mask, with only a pair of eyes exposed. It was sunset, and the man's face could not be seen clearly in the dim light. The man in black said slowly: "Okay, let's keep him here for one night. Let you repay his kindness."
Li Chunlin was overjoyed after hearing this and said, "Thank you very much!" He turned to look at Li Yu.
The man in black said to Li Yu: "Come here, I will explain something to you." Li Yu nodded and followed the man in black towards the road out of the village. Li Chunlin kept looking at Li Yu, worried that Li Yu would just leave with the man in black and never come back.
The man in black said to Li Yu: "If someone wants to thank you, there is nothing wrong with it. Let you stay one more night. Tonight, pack your own things. I will wait for you at the entrance of the village tomorrow morning."
Li Yu nodded and said yes.
The man in black glanced at Zhang Haiwei from the corner of his eye and said in a low voice: "Pay attention to that man. I think there is something wrong with him." After the man in black said this, Li Yu also glanced at Zhang Haiwei secretly and said: "It should be There won’t be any problem. In fact, he is the leader of this group of bandits.”
The man in black said, "Be more careful yourself." After saying that, he asked Li Yu to turn on the mechanism. Li Yu watched the man in black leave the village.
