The door was pushed open, and the waiter walked in with breakfast, followed by Zhang Yan'er.
Zhang Yan'er stood at the door and said with a smile: "Brother Bai, it's time to have breakfast."
Bai Yutian got up and said to the man lying on the bed: "Master Fang, after breakfast, we will set off."
Daxia Fang said: "Young Master Bai, we are all rough guys. We are used to being beaten. We are rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so there is no need for trouble."
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "Okay, just listen to Fang Daxia." He walked out of the room, took Zhang Yan'er's shoulder, and walked out of the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Zhang Yan'er asked: "Brother Bai, what did Master Fang say that there is no need to bother?"
Bai Yutian replied: "Third uncle and the others are injured. They will not be able to bear it if they are exposed to the sun on horseback all day. I am thinking of sending them to Huangshan with a few oxcarts or some villagers." In your opinion, is that good?"
Zhang Yan'er replied: "In my opinion, it's better to let them ride on the saddle."
Bai Yutian said: "Tell me about it."
Zhang Yaner smiled and replied: "First of all, I saved money. Second of all, I just heard from Uncle Wei that two groups of uninvited guests came last night. Who can guarantee that there is no one waiting for us on the road. If those people are extremely vicious, they will use fists and kicks at every turn." When swords are facing each other, if the villagers follow, why don't they suffer disaster along with them?"
Bai Yutian smiled happily: "How about you listen to me, Miss Yan'er, today?"
Zhang Yaner said: "You are the elder brother and I am the younger sister. I listen to you."
Bai Yutian said cheerfully: "Otherwise, whoever's words are reasonable will be listened to? It doesn't matter whether it's brother, sister, boy or girl, treat it as nonsense." He took Zhang Yan'er's hand and walked forward quickly. .
The two entered the front lobby, sat down at the table where Xie Mubai, Zhuo Yifei, Hu Yanqing, and Jiang Yingying sat, and started eating breakfast.
Zhuo Yifei stopped his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I heard from Uncle Bao that two groups of people came last night. The master was worried that the road ahead would be dangerous, so in order not to implicate innocent people, he had no choice but to let Ning Daxia and others sit on horseback and be exposed to the sun all the way."
Bai Yutian ate three steamed buns and drank a bowl of porridge. He stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."
After everyone had eaten, they went to the bedroom, picked up their luggage, helped Ning Zhenan, Ximen Qing and others out of the inn, put them on horseback, and headed towards Huangshan.
Along the way, when you encounter mountains, they become mountains, and when you encounter water, they become water. The mountains and rivers depend on each other, just like walking on flat ground.
Ning Zhen'an, Ximen Qing and others were all injured. They were sitting on horses. It was not suitable for bumpy rides, so the journey was much slower than usual. By lunch time, we were still thirty or forty miles away from Mount Huangshan. I saw a wine shop on the roadside and wondered if I could make it to Huangshan before dark, so I stopped, sat at four tables, ordered food and drinks, drank tea, and talked and laughed happily.
Good times don't last long. Everyone had just finished drinking a cup of tea and was thinking about having another cup when a large group of men and horses appeared from the woods around the wine shop and surrounded them. Their eyes were full of laughter and their swords were roaring. It was obvious that they had evil intentions.
Xie Mubai glanced at the visitor, ignored him, and continued to drink his tea.
Among the people who came, several men looked very familiar to Bai Yutian. After thinking about it, they remembered that it was the boy who had deceived them in the town yesterday. Their eyes were filled with anger for a moment, and they sprayed nakedly at Bai Yutian. .
The man known as "Xiao Ai" took two steps forward and shouted to Bai Yutian: "Boy, you look like a dog and you are full of evil. I told you yesterday that if you deceive me, be careful. Put a head on your neck. Come out and die."
Bai Yutian heard this, smiled slightly, and said to Zhuo Yifei: "Zhuo Yifei, there is Huangshan Mountain in front of you. As the successor of Huangshan Sword Sect, it is time for you to introduce yourself to them."
Zhuo Yifei stood up and walked away from the table and chair, came out of the pergola, clasped his hands and shook his hands in all directions, and said politely: "My dear Zhuo Yifei, I am fortunate to have Yishan Yijian to thank my seniors for their favor, and to worship under the Huangshan Sword Sect. I am lucky today. It’s a great honor to meet heroes from all walks of life.”
Although there are many heroes in the world who are generous and heroic, there are also many who are narrow-minded. Many times, if you treat people carelessly, or you don't give a nod, or you don't smile, you may offend people unintentionally, and sometimes even lead to death.
Zhuo Yifei's words were very much in line with Xie Mubai's wishes. The tea in the bowl became more fragrant and became more and more flavorful the more he drank.
A man in his fifties with two scars on his face took two steps forward, bowed his hands to Xie Mubai and said politely: "Thank you, old swordsman, you have gained a beloved disciple, and the Huangshan Sword Sect has a successor. It is really gratifying."
Xie Mubai glanced at the man and said coldly: "Sun Laosan, where did you come from here today?"
Sun Laosan smiled and replied: "Fan Tailai, Ying Wang Tieshi and others passed the letter by flying pigeons, saying that there were more than ten or twenty young people running rampant in the south of the Yangtze River and doing all kinds of evil. In order to distinguish the authenticity, they rushed over all night, thinking that they would meet at the meeting. For a while. If the rumors are true, let’s see if you have the ability to eliminate them and eliminate harm to Jiangnan Wulin.”
Xie Mubai looked on coldly and said, "In that case, go look for it elsewhere."
A man in a red robe stepped forward and shouted: "Thank you, old man, the trouble is around you, you think we are blind!"
Xie Mubai said: "Ji Ming, if you are not blind, first find a scale to weigh yourself and see how much you weigh."
Ji Ming was furious and jumped into the air. The sword in his hand flashed and struck Xie Mubai's head straight with a rainbow-like momentum.
Zhuo Yifei stepped forward and kicked Ji Ming's abdomen from the side.
Ji Naruto was in the air, with nowhere to use his strength and no way to avoid him, so he flew back with his sword. If not for the strong wall of people behind him, he could have almost knocked out a hole, making him look very embarrassed and ugly.
None of the heroes in the world had ever dreamed that Zhuo Yifei would be so bold and unruly, daring to use force in front of everyone, and yet so skilled. They were filled with awe, and couldn't help but re-evaluate the importance of the matter.
An old man in a gray cloth jacket walked out of the crowd. He looked to be in his seventies, with piercing eyes. He smoothed his gray three-goat beard and said lightly: "Xie Mubai, listen to Fan Tai. , Ning Zhenan and others are the killers of the Dragon Slaying Society, who specialize in killing people of the righteous martial arts. If you want to protect them, you are making enemies of the righteous martial arts, so don’t let it go."
Xie Mubai got up and walked away from the table and chair, looked at the elder and said: "Bao Dalei, you are so old, why are you still so keen on the world? You are not afraid of getting sick from overwork. I don't have money to treat your illness. "
Bao Dalei smiled and said: "Xie Mubai, we have known each other for decades. Although you do not regard me as a friend, I have always regarded you as a brother. Ning Zhenan, Yang Yunfeng, Liu Yunyu and others are not good people. If you insist If you want to get involved with them, you won't be afraid of tarnishing the centuries-old reputation of the Huangshan Sword Sect."
Xie Mubai sneered and said: "Bao Dalei, you should know why I sent the founder of Tsinghua University to Mount Yi to establish the sect. It was just that Mount Yi was different. It was the majesty of Mount Tai, the danger of Mount Hua, the waterfall of Mount Lu, and the beauty of Mount Heng. The rocks, the strangeness of Yandang, the coolness of Emei, the strange pines, strange rocks, sea of clouds, hot springs, and winter snow are the five most beautiful things. A mountain can be broad-minded and compatible with the strengths of all mountains in the world. People call it the spiritual leader of all things. , born by adhering to the spirituality of heaven and earth, if it is not as good as a mountain, then it is not a human being."
Bao Dalei smiled faintly and said: "Having said that, Ning Zhenan and the others are the killers of the Dragon Slayer Society. They are full of evil. To accommodate them is to accommodate evil. How can we speak with a broad mind?"
Xie Mubai said softly: "Bao Dalei, when you were young, did you look at mountains as mountains and water as water?"
Bao Dalei replied softly: "As an innocent boy, if you look at one thing as one thing, you will naturally look at mountains as mountains and water as water."
Xie Mubai then asked: "When you grow up, will you look at mountains instead of mountains, and water instead of water?"
Bao Dalei smiled and replied: "The eyes are like windows to the soul. With emotion and cognition, it is easy to put aside the appearance of things and pursue the inner essence."
Xie Mubai asked back: "You are now nearly 70 years old. How can you tell whether a mountain is a mountain or whether a water is water?"
Bao Dalei smiled warmly: "Returning to our original nature, we naturally see mountains as mountains and water as water."
Xie Mubai chuckled twice and said slowly: "Then have you noticed that in a person's life, the starting point and the end point overlap in the long river of time, and he draws a circle for himself. Live longer, The bigger the contribution you make, the bigger the circle you draw; the shorter the life, the smaller the contribution you make, the smaller the circle you draw."
Bao Dalei said: "Xie Mubai, after saying so much, you might as well say it bluntly."
Xie Mubai said: "I just want to ask, what do I, Xie Mubai, look like in your eyes now?"
Bao Dalei smiled and replied: "Xie Mubai, in the eyes of me, Mr. Bao, you are just an old man in his late thirties. In the face of the ruthless years, no matter how hard you try, you can't survive for a few years. Before, you were upright and did not seek fame or fortune. , and in the future, for the sake of our sect’s reputation, we won’t dare to mess around.”
Xie Mubai smiled heartily and said: "Since in your eyes, I am such a thing, then why do you say that I want to be an enemy of the righteous way of Wulin? Could it be that distorting the facts, speaking and doing things against your will, can bring endless consequences? Aren’t you happy?”
Bao Dalei looked ashamed, cupped his hands and said, "Xie Mubai, if you say this, I, Bao, should take my leave."
Xie Mubai said: "Then there's no need to leave in such a hurry."
Bao Dalei said: "If there is any need for me to help someone, just ask."
Xie Mubai said: "My Huangshan Sword Sect has always been a single lineage. I, Xie Mubai, have finally found a disciple. We have known each other for many years. Why don't you stay for a glass of wine and be a witness."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Bao Dalei sat over.
Xie Mubai looked around and said with cupped hands: "Everyone, many of them are old acquaintances. If you can trust me to thank someone, please stay and have a glass of water and wine to witness that our Huangshan Sword Sect has a successor. If you think that I thank someone If you have a desire to protect gangsters, you can just leave to avoid damaging the peace."
A wild man jumped out and shouted: "Old man Xie, whether you are trustworthy or not depends on what you do."
Zhuo Yifei answered: "This good man, in your eyes, what can my master do to be worthy of your trust?"
The man said: "Handing over or killing Ning Zhen'an, Ximen Qing, Gui Haiming and other bad guys to eliminate harm to the martial arts world is a heroic act. Naturally, it deserves everyone's trust and praise."
Zhuo Yifei said: "Since I have to do evil first to gain your trust, then it's okay not to have this kind of trust."
The man said loudly: "Boy, if you don't get the trust of all the heroes in the martial arts world, let alone your Huangshan Sword Sect as a single lineage, even if you have hundreds of disciples and disciples, it will be difficult for you to survive in the martial arts world."
Zhuo Yifei smiled and said: "In the world, only people who walk in the world have never wandered around. If your world depends on being around instead of being good, then you must be a flatterer, worshiping those who are superior and those who are inferior, and only working for yourself. Well, an unprincipled villain, or a hypocrite.”
The venue was filled with laughter, buzzing like bees.
