All the knights stood up and cursed together. They all heard a strange sound of horses, and the horses suddenly stopped. One person cursed: "Who is joking with our giant gang? Do you dare to come out to practice?" Another person followed and cursed: "I think he is also a thief who hides his head and shows his tail!"
At this moment, there was no one else on the official road except Jiang Shuo and his party. When the knights saw the three of them, a Taoist nun and two children, they naturally didn't expect that the sound of the horse's hooting was made by Jiang Shuo. They only thought that someone was deliberately playing a trick, but they didn't dare. Show up.
Ye Qingyao was about to say that we did it, but Li Tengkong stopped him with his eyes. Jiang Shuo just suppressed his laughter but did not step forward to admit it. The leading knight did not curse, and seemed to be quite serious. He scolded: "Wang Er and Liu Wumo are going to curse again. The leader of the gang has passed on the order of the leader to rush to Maoshan as soon as possible. At this time, I am afraid that Zhenze and Baqiu's people have all arrived. I'm on my way and don't want to cause any more trouble." After saying that, he clasped his fists in the air and said, "I don't know which friend made such a little joke with the Jujin Gang. I have something important to do today. I can't stay here for a long time. If you have any advice, please come to Bowang Hall to give me some advice soon."
Ye Qingyao saw this person shouting into the air, but he didn't know that the person who was teasing them was right in front of him. He suppressed his laughter and almost suffered internal injuries. Fortunately, he was far away and no one noticed the change of color on her face. .
When Jiang Shuo heard the names Wang Er and Liu Wu, he couldn't help but trembled. These were the two names Cheng Ang called on the sandbank of the Han River that day. It seemed that these people were undoubtedly members of Cheng Ang's gang. Well, the gang leader they are talking about must be Cheng Ang, and this generation leader is Ge Ruliang? They gathered people together in Maoshan but I don't know why?
Everyone remounted their horses and carefully controlled the bridles for a while. When they saw nothing unusual, they started galloping. When they were far away, Jiang Shuo said to Li Tengkong: "Tengkong, these people are from the Jianghu Alliance. Listen, Their words seem to be detrimental to Maoshan."
Li Tengkong nodded and said: "I heard that the Jianghu Alliance and the Qingyi faction in Maoshan have always been on good terms. What happened? Could it be that there is a powerful enemy in Maoshan to attack, and are the experts from the Jianghu Alliance invited to help?"
Jiang Shuo said: "No matter what, we need to go up the mountain as soon as possible. If we can make it in time, we can send a message. If we can't make it in time, we can also help Mr. Zhenyin." Not only did he learn the skills left by the founder of the Shangqing sect, he also developed a care for the Shangqing sect. The feeling of closeness.
Li Tengkong nodded and said, "If that's the case, let's leave quickly."
So there was no need for Li Tengkong to urge him. Jiang Shuo shouted to Bai Wei to run quickly. Although Bai Wei was not a BMW, he was also a very impressive horse. Running at full speed, he was not inferior to ordinary post horses.
Jiang Shuo and Ye Qingyao started to follow Qinggong. Ye Qingyao was unable to catch up with Bai Wei because of her poor kung fu. Jiang Shuo stretched out his hand to support her arm. Ye Qingyao felt her body light up and her feet were like soaring clouds and mist. She said happily: "Brother Shuo, you are so handsome." of effort.”
The three of them galloped for more than a hundred miles and arrived at the foot of Maoshan Mountain before midnight. They saw the horses of the Jujin Gang grazing on the grassy slopes of the southern foot of Maoshan Mountain in the distance. The three of them did not dare to get close and took a detour to the west foot of the city. Jiang Shuo first went to the restaurant to look for his and Zhao Rui's horses and luggage. The city was built at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, and everyone in the village was kind. Although Zhao Rui and Jiang Shuo had not come back for two years, they did not dispose of their belongings. Jiang Shuo When Shuo returned to the shop, the shopkeeper saw him wearing a Taoist robe. He thought he had gone to Maoshan to receive Taoism and was so focused on practicing Taoism that he forgot to come to collect his belongings. He repeatedly wished him a speedy cultivation and attainment of Taoism. Jiang Shuo did not explain. He only said he was here to pick up the donkey, horse, and luggage. The shopkeeper hurriedly ordered people to bring Black Guard and the old horse, and then went to the storehouse to pick up Zhao Rui and Jiang Shuo's luggage.
Jiang Shuo saw that the baggage and the Seven-Star Sword were all there. There was nothing valuable in his baggage. The clothes Xun Ni had prepared two years ago were too small to wear. As expected, Zhao Rui's baggage contained two volumes of clothing and money. There are silk books with signatures hanging on the scrolls. Each book has the words "long" and "short", which indicates that it is the "Long and Short Classics" written by Zhao Rui throughout his life.
He gave their clothes to the footman and gave all the cloth and copper coins they carried to the shopkeeper to thank him for taking care of Black Guard and Lao Ma for two years. He only solemnly packaged the two volumes again. Okay, tie it into a bag and carry it on your back, put a seven-star sword on your waist, and then go out of the shop.
Jiang Shuo gave the black guard to Ye Qingyao to ride, while Li Tengkong still rode the white guard. He himself mounted the old horse. For fear of being recognized by Cheng Ang and others, he grabbed two handfuls of dirt on the ground and wiped his face He was dirty and dirty. At this moment, he was wearing a Taoist robe, his hair was messy, and his face was covered with dust. He looked like a little pyrotechnic Taoist. No one in the Jianghu League had ever seen Li Tengkong and Ye Qingyao, but they didn't have to. Put on makeup.
After preparations were completed, the three of them went to Maoshan along the Xilu Mountain Road.
As soon as they entered the mountain and reached the first Taoist temple, "Taiping Temple", they saw many yellow-crowned Taoist priests holding swords. They stopped the three of them. The leader, a Taoist with a long beard, bowed his head and said: "Stay here, you three. The three of you look at me strangely, and you don't seem to be me." Are you from Maoshan?"
Li Tengkong couldn't hide it, so he said: "I am from Chang'an. My name is Li Tengkong. He is Mr. Zhenyin's disciple who watched the ribbons on the balcony of Wangwu Mountain."
The long-bearded Taoist bowed his head again and said: "Wei Jingzhao, the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, is born in a small way. I once heard from my master that he had accepted a female disciple in Wangwu Mountain. Today I saw that he is indeed humble, quiet and gentle, and does not compete for his inferiors."
Li Tengkong also raised his head and said: "Senior Brother Wei, you are ridiculous. I wonder what happened on the mountain today? We saw people from Jianghu Alliance coming up the mountain. We don't know where they came from, so we came here to report the news."
Wei Jingzhao said: "It's just because the Jianghu Alliance got news that Ge Ruliang is in Maoshan, so they all came up to the mountain and are in Ziyang Courtyard, asking for help from the great master."
Jiang Shuo was startled and said, "Isn't Ge Ruliang the acting alliance leader? Why do the Jianghu alliance want to embarrass him?"
Wei Jingzhao said in surprise: "Where did you hear the news, little Taoist friend? The acting leader of the Jianghu Alliance was Zhenze Hun, the leader of the Mingqing Gang. Ge Ruliang assassinated Jiang Shuo, the young leader of the Jianghu Alliance. Jiang Shuo was seriously injured and went to Maoshan Mountain to seek treatment from a great master. Who knew that? He disappeared the next day and has not been seen yet, but for some reason there are recent rumors that Ge Ruliang kidnapped him or that he was poisoned by him."
Jiang Shuo and Ye Qingyao said "Ah" at the same time, and Jiang Shuo asked, "What are you talking about?"
Ye Qingyao said: "Brother Shuo, you are actually the leader of the Jianghu Young Alliance?" Then he asked Jiang Shuo: "Then what are you talking about?"
Jiang Shuo said: "This is completely wrong. Master Wei, please take me to see the Grand Master quickly."
Wei Jingzhao looked at him in disbelief and said, "Young Daoist, don't be joking? You are obviously a Daoist, how can you say that you are the leader of Young Master Jiang?"
Jiang Shuo wiped his face anxiously and said: "Master Wei, I am really Jiang Shuo. Master Zhao carried me to Ziyang Courtyard two years ago. Master Zhao even deflected the long swords of you and Master Meng... He put his hand into his arms and said, "If you don't believe it, I still have the treasure of the leader of the Jianghu alliance given by Li Shijun."
The last time Zhao Rui took Jiang Shuo to the balcony to watch, Wei Jingzhao and Meng Zhanran did fight with Zhao Rui, and his sword was deflected by him with just one move. Apart from them, only Li Hanguang and Zhao Rui knew about this. , he had met Jiang Shuo before, and now when he looked carefully at the boy in front of him, he vaguely seemed to be the boy from back then. He no longer had any doubts at the moment and said to Jiang Shuo: "Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun, Young Master Jiang, it's great that you are back. Now only you can resolve this dispute."
Jiang Shuo also said anxiously: "Master Wei, please take me there quickly."
Wei Jingzhao said: "The mountain road to the other courtyard is steep. Please follow me on foot to the peak." He ordered the other Taoist priests to keep the donkeys, horses and baggage of the three people safely, and let the three people go up the mountain with him in light clothes.
Wei Jingzhao put his arms around Jiang Shuo and led him to run up the mountain road. He was afraid that Jiang Shuo wouldn't be able to run fast, so he wanted to take Jiang Shuo for a ride. But when he didn't want to run, Jiang Shuo in his hands was weightless and he ran faster and faster. When Wei Jingzhao met Jiang Shuo two years ago, he clearly didn't know martial arts yet, and he didn't want to meet again today, but Jiang Shuo was already like this For his cultivation, he praised: "Blessings are immeasurable, Lord Jiang. It seems that Young Master Jiang has had extraordinary adventures in the past two years, and I am also happy for him."
Seeing Wei Jingzhao's humility and kindness, Jiang Shuo smiled back at him and said, "Master Taoist, please give Shuo'er some guidance."
So Wei Jingzhao just pointed the way and let Jiang Shuo lead him. Jiang Shuo was anxious and led Wei Jingzhao faster and faster, leaving Li Tengkong and Ye Qingyao far behind. Soon they arrived at a small This Taoist temple is far smaller in scale than Taoist temples such as Wanfu Palace and Taiping Temple, but it is unique and quiet. It is Ziyang Villa where Mr. Zhenyin Li Hanguang lives.
Wei Jingzhao was mature and prudent, and said to Jiang Shuo: "Young Master Jiang, don't be impatient. Let's go in through the side door first and see what the situation is like before we make any calculations."
Jiang Shuo said: "What Taoist Master Wei said is true, but you must follow the Taoist Master's orders."
Wei Jingzhao said "Don't dare" and took Jiang Shuo's hand and jumped in from the outer wall of the west side hall. Jiang Shuo remembered that this was the Medicine King's Hall. Wei Jingzhao opened the window and the two of them jumped in. Sure enough, it was him and Zhao Rui stayed in the back hall for one night. Two years later, the decorations in the hall have not changed much. A few pictures against the wall collapsed, and it was the same as that day, as if Jiang Shuo had just left yesterday. Seeing this scene, Jiang Shuo secretly sighed in his heart.
Wei Jingzhao took Jiang Shuo around to the front hall. In the hall, Bian Que, the true king of medicine, and Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, were enshrined. On both sides were worshiped Pi Tong of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the three Wei brothers of this dynasty. Jiang Shuo met the Taoist priest Wei who didn't know his thoughts. Are you related to the Sanwei brothers? Wei Jingzhao didn't know what Jiang Shuo was thinking, so he took him to the corner of the palace, pushed the door open, and the two of them watched together.
I saw that the small courtyard of the other courtyard was full of people at the moment. The leader of Zhenze, Hun Weiming, was in the middle, the leader of Baqiu, Lu Jiong, was on the left, and the leader of Juba, Cheng Angju, was on the right. There were many people behind them. They were all masters of the gang. , leaving only a small open space in the north of the yard.
To the north is a group of Taoist priests. There is a wooden chair in the middle. There are four wheels under the chair. Sitting on the chair is a yellow-robed Taoist. It is Mr. Zhenyin Li Hanguang, the owner of this room. Behind him, there are a group of Maoshan Taoist priests guarding him with swords. There were three people standing beside him: the one wearing a green preacher's robe and looking like an immortal was Ge Ruliang, the owner of Xixi Villa, but Ge Ruliang looked much thinner and more haggard than two years ago; beside him, a man dressed in white, The one wearing a silk hat is his wife Dugu Chu; beside Mrs. A Chu is a young girl in red, but she is not Xiang'er!
