At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Cui Yingying asked, "Who is it? What's the matter?"
A Zhu outside the door replied: "Senior sister, the Taoist Master asked you if you are hungry. If you are not hungry, he will eat first."
Bai Yutian said quickly: "Is there anyone who's hungry?" He pulled Cui Yingying out of the room and walked towards the dining room.
Coming to the dining room, sitting at the dining table, and the five of them drank a drink together, Bai Yutian asked: "Taoist Master, do you have any close friends in Yanzhou? They are the kind with chivalrous hearts and extraordinary skills."
Wushan Taoist asked while holding vegetables: "Why do you ask?"
Bai Yutian filled the wine glass and said: "Juniors are not talented and are worried about the difficulty of the journey. I think that with one more helper, there will be less potential danger."
Axing asked: "Brother Bai, aren't there escorts by officers and soldiers? Do we need to invite some Jianghu people?"
Bai Yutian paid respect to Taoist Wushan and replied: "If your master Zhao Mingxiu can't help but take action, the dozen or so officers and soldiers are not enough to fill the gap between their teeth."
A Zhu interjected: "Master will not take action!"
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "He, Zhao Mingxiu, wants to completely control the White Lotus Sect. This is a rare opportunity that he cannot afford to miss."
Taoist Wushan ate two chopsticks of the dish and thought it tasted pretty good, so he ate another two chopsticks.
Bai Yutian paid a respectful tribute and said, "Taoist Priest, if you are, why don't you say something?"
Taoist Wushan took a sip and said, "Yes! Who says there is no."
Bai Yutian was very happy after hearing this. He quickly filled up his wine glass and gave a sincere toast. He said cheerfully: "Then after dinner, take me to meet you! Just treat it like a visit to catch up with old times and ask for a favor by the way." Favor.”
Wushan Taoist drank the wine in his glass, pursed his lips, and said: "I am a swordsman. I have been traveling in the desert for decades. I have bad rules. I see money first before talking about things. I have no friends in the business world. Now you can even eat." If the problem is solved, then you can still afford to treat them to drinks and meat, so it’s better not to provoke them.”
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "Taoist Priest, you have to provoke those who deserve to be provoked. You don't want Zhao Mingxiu to act like a wolf in sheep's clothing and continue to do evil while being held in the palm of the martial arts circles and respected as a god!" If this is the case, what kind of righteousness can there be in the martial arts world?"
"Righteousness." Wushan Taoist laughed coldly, picked up a chopstick and ate the food, put down his chopsticks, and said: "Boy, I'm not afraid to tell you, in the world, the so-called righteousness is power. If you want money, you will have money. , you need people and people, but people can't defeat you. Only when others can listen to what you say can you be upright. If you need money but have no money, begging for food, need people and have no one, and are alone, even if you can't avoid being bullied, how can you do it? You can speak of righteousness.”
Bai Yutian laughed out loud and said: "Taoist Master, although what you said is not unreasonable, it is too absolute. I forgive this junior for not agreeing."
Wushan Taoist said: "Then you are going to be independent?"
Bai Yutian poured a full glass of wine and toasted a Taoist from Wushan, saying: "I can't speak of being independent. But even if I reach the point where you said... I want money but no one, and I want no one, I won't do it." Surrendering to other people's power will only endanger your integrity and your life. It doesn't matter who wants to take it."
Taoist Wushan smiled slightly and said: "Boy, you are already married to a woman. Women represent family, and family is more real than a few beautiful words. Don't be ashamed of your words and become a giant in words and a giant in actions. Chapo, a huge disappointment.”
Bai Yutian said: "Taoist Master, you are a little worried. The four seasons of the year, spring temperature, summer heat, autumn coolness, and winter coldness, are born in accordance with the Qi, and it is righteous to follow the Qi. If it really comes to that, then there is no choice. Optional, you need to suffer for your family to keep your integrity, and I am willing to help everyone in order to keep your integrity."
Taoist Wushan said: "Boy, can you really do this?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "Taoist Master, there is no righteousness in the world, and the paths are full of twists and turns. Only by eradicating the evil forces in Biluo Lake can my wife be completely freed and live a life without worries. How dare I not try my best and do my best?" To go."
Wushan Taoist said: "You must keep your words, young man."
Bai Yutian said: "This junior dares to claim to be the 'Jade-faced Man'. Of course, a word can make a fortune. Taoist Master, just relax."
Axing interrupted: "Jade-faced man, what's the origin?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "What's the origin? But when Master Fan Zhongyan was visiting Mount Lu, he saw me climbing on the cliffs of Wulao Peak, as if walking on flat ground, so he laughed at me as a 'jade-faced monkey'. Later I met Yingying, She insisted that I agree to marry her and take care of her throughout my life, and I agreed without any reason. In view of this, I changed the name 'Jade-faced Monkey' to 'Jade-faced Man'. What do you think?"
A Zhu smiled and replied: "That sounds good."
Wushan Taoist said: "What a fart! Let's eat."
The four of them smiled sullenly and started eating and drinking just to fill their stomachs.
Have dinner quickly.
Cui Yingying saw the peaceful wind outside the window and the gentle sunset, and wanted to go out for a walk. Bai Yutian was happy to accompany her, but was stopped by Wushan Taoist.
Bai Yutian asked: "Taoist Priest, are you okay?"
Wushan Taoist stood up and said: "Don't you want to find some helpers? There are ready ones fifty miles outside the city. Why don't you go and have a word with us?"
Bai Yutian said happily: "Go, go, there is a reason not to go."
Wushan Taoist said: "If you want to go, hurry up and leave." He stepped out.
Bai Yutian smiled bitterly at Cui Yingying and the three sisters, and then turned around and strode to follow the Wushan Taoist.
The two of them wanted to cross the horses, get on their backs, and leave Yanzhou City. Covered by the setting sun, I ran toward the southeast for fifty miles, stopped at the mouth of a valley in front of a small village of three or four households, dismounted and walked in.
Arriving in front of a rammed earth house, Taoist Wushan shouted loudly into the house: "We have guests, welcome."
"What kind of guest is he? He's a Taoist priest who is down and out."
A man in his forties came out in response. He looked like a farmer at first glance, with rough skin, simple hands and feet, a gentle smile, tenacity in his eyes, generous and casual speech, and a very stubborn temperament.
Bai Yutian stepped forward and bowed and said, "Junior Bai Yutian, I have met my senior, and I would like to say hello to my senior."
The man glanced at Bai Yutian and said casually: "I haven't seen any of my seniors or juniors, so I don't recognize them."
Wushan Taoist smiled and said: "Old Chen, you have never seen this boy, so it's not surprising that you don't recognize him. But when it comes to his father, his master, and his father-in-law, even if you haven't seen him, you must have heard about him."
The man named Chen laughed and said: "His father is his father, his master is his master, his father-in-law is his father-in-law, he is him. If you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it. If you don't know it, you don't know it. Boy, you Say yes?"
Bai Yutian said politely: "Senior, I don't judge people by their appearance or their status. I treat people with their true nature. I admire you so much."
The man surnamed Chen felt comfortable listening to what he said roughly, but felt sad when listening carefully. He was speechless and embarrassed.
Taoist Wushan said from the side: "Boy, this is Chen Xiwen. He once roamed the desert for many years with a pair of fleshy palms, killing countless horse thieves and was unrivaled. There are also three sworn brothers, one with the surname of Ma and a sharp sword; one with the surname of Liu, and the other with a sharp sword. He has a big sword; one named Yang has a 'meteor dart' that makes people hard to guard against." He turned to Chen Xiwen and said: "Old Chen, don't underestimate this kid, he has a very upright background. His father Bai Tianyuchuan He gave him the Weeping Blood Sword, his master Jiang Qingcheng taught him Pure Yang Palm, and his father-in-law Cui Yongyue taught him Thread of Needle. If we compare it more seriously, I’m afraid you won’t be able to gain any advantage.”
"Who is so crazy! It's unheard of to dare to gather three of the best in the world."
Bai Yutian looked towards where the sound came from, and saw three big men leaping forward, approaching in the blink of an eye.
Wushan Taoist smiled warmly, cupped his hands and said, "I have a visit today, so please don't be polite."
A man said: "Taoist priest, why are you so polite? If you were fine, why would you bring a stranger here?"
Bai Yutian bowed and saluted: "Junior Bai Yutian, I have met three knights."
A man said: "No need. For the sake of the smelly Taoist priest, just tell me if you have something to say, and let it go as soon as possible."
Bai Yutian said: "To be fair to the seniors, Mr. Fan Zhongyan, who was once the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Road Manager and Comforter, will leave for Qingzhou tomorrow to take up his post. The juniors are afraid that Zhao Mingxiu will assassinate him on the way, so he came here to ask the four seniors to help him to protect Mr. Fan. Safe and sound.”
A man said: "Zhao Mingxiu is known as the Martial Saint. He is no match for my brother. You have found the wrong person."
Taoist Wushan smiled and said: "Old Ma, Ming people don't tell secrets. When it comes to fighting alone, you four brothers are really no match for Zhao Mingxiu. I invite you to go forward, but I just want you to deal with those who come from Zhao Mingxiu." The disciples who assist the boxing, there is no other.”
A man said: "Taoist, what nonsense are you talking about? If you can't deal with Zhao Mingxiu, it's useless to deal with those disciples."
Wushan Taoist said: "Old Liu, you have to deal with Zhao Mingxiu with this kid."
Who wants to believe that Bai Yutian can deal with Zhao Mingxiu.
A man looked down at Bai Yutian and said, "Taoist, you can't just say something like this."
Taoist Wushan smiled and said: "Old Yang, if you can keep your word, you will know if you try it."
Lao Ma said rudely: "How to try?"
Taoist Wushan chuckled and said, "Let's go together! One against four, with a limit of twenty moves."
Chen Xiwen glanced at Bai Yutian and felt that even if he won the competition with Bai Yutian, his face would not be much glorious. He said to a poplar tree in front of the gate: "I don't want to compete. I heard that Zhao Mingxiu With just a pair of fleshy palms, he can cut mountains and split rocks. As long as this kid can chop down the poplar tree with one palm from ten steps away, he will be considered powerful and can barely pass the test."
Wushan Taoist said: "If it is really broken, you will have to escort Mr. Fan to Qingzhou. You will not regret it."
The man surnamed Ma smiled and said: "Such a young seedling can chop down the poplar tree with one palm. It can be regarded as breaking a stone with an egg. It's the first time. I won't regret it."
Wushan Taoist said: "Boy, go and chop it in pieces."
Bai Yutian walked to the poplar tree, took ten steps outward, turned around, and said to the four brothers Chen Xiwen: "Chen Daxia, Ma Daxia, Liu Daxia, and Yang Daxia, the younger ones will show their embarrassment."
Chen Xiwen chuckled and said: "Boy, you only have one chance, remember to use your energy to suck milk."
Bai Yutian turned to look at the poplar tree, concentrated his energy, and sent out a palm.
The poplar tree shook slightly and all the leaves fell off, but the trunk remained as tall and straight as ever. Chen Xiwen and the four brothers all applauded.
Wushan Taoist said angrily: "Hey, it was a waste of time." He shook his head repeatedly.
Chen Xiwen joked: "Taoist priest, it's not in vain. Didn't he help me clean up the leaves of this tree?"
Chen Xiwen's voice seemed to be too loud. As soon as he touched the poplar tree, the trunk couldn't bear it and fell down with a loud noise, which frightened everyone.
Seeing this, Wushan Taoist laughed and said: "Good boy, that's what you should do, show off your skills." He turned to Chen Xiwen and the other four and said, "Let's go then. We do what we say, as a gentleman."
The man surnamed Ma said: "I'm sorry I won't send you far."
Wushan Taoist said: "I'll wait for you to have breakfast tomorrow morning." He got on his horse, whipped up his whip, and galloped away.
Bai Yutian bowed to the four of them and said goodbye, got on his horse and walked away.
