At Wu San's call, everyone got up and went out, washed briefly, brought their horses, and waited at the gate of the inn.
Fan Zhongyan, accompanied by Zhen Jinlian, came to the door of the inn and accepted everyone's greetings. When Bai Yutian came over after paying the bill, he got on his horse and said loudly: "Everyone, cross this Huashui, cross this Ziwu Road Ridge, Gyeongju Prefecture is only a stone’s throw away. Please follow me on the last journey and have a cup of good tea and a light meal at Gyeongju Prefecture, okay?”
Everyone replied in unison: "Thank you for your hospitality, sir."
Fan Zhongyan raised his whip and shouted: "Let's go." The horse threw up its hooves and galloped away.
Everyone got on horseback, followed Fan Zhongyan, left the inn, bought some big cakes at the west exit of the village, crossed the Hulu River, whipped their horses along the river valley, and then headed towards Ziwu Ridge along the mountain road. As the horse's hoof throws slower and slower, the potential danger seems to be getting closer and closer.
From a ridge down to a ravine, and just as he was about to go up a ravine to a ridge, the road was blocked.
Everyone reined in their horses, and Bai Yutian turned around and said, "Sir, what should have appeared has finally appeared."
Fan Zhongyan glanced at the twenty or so men in black blocking the way. He could not feel any kindness from the twenty or so pairs of eyes hidden in the black cloth covers. He had to abandon all kinds of illusions and said extremely calmly. : "I don't think I can make the decision on this matter today. You people in the world can make up your own mind."
Bai Yutian cupped his hands and said, "Yes, sir." He jumped off his horse and led the four brothers Chen Xiwen forward to call for formation.
A black man standing behind saw Bai Yutian approaching and said to the man in black in front of him: "Master, that kid is Bai Yutian."
The man in black heard this and said to the man in black in the middle: "Master, that boy is Bai Yutian. The four people behind him are the Four Eagles of the Desert, the four brothers Chen Xiwen, Liu Jindao, Yang Xingbiao, and Ma Chuhe .”
The man in black heard this, took two steps forward, and shouted to Bai Yutian who was approaching: "Bai Yutian, isn't Jiangnan being treated badly?"
Bai Yutian replied, "The south of the Yangtze River is surrounded by green waters, green mountains and flower clusters, a mild climate, beautiful sunshine and gentle winds. It is a pleasant place to live and nourish your mind."
The man in black smiled and said: "If you are so easy to treat, why did you come to the northwest to drink the northwest wind?"
Bai Yutian replied: "Zhuangyou! I heard that reading books without words can give you the heroic spirit of mountains and rivers."
The man in black asked: "Have you finished reading this wordless book?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "I'm worrying you all the time. You haven't finished reading yet. You really shouldn't."
The man in black said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I wonder where you want to finish reading?"
Bai Yutian replied: "The destination of this trip is very clear, Gyeongju Prefecture."
The man in black said: "Qingzhou Prefecture is an important frontier place where Song and Xia fought. I'm afraid it's not a place where a wanderer like you should set foot. Be careful if you make a mistake and leave eternal regrets. If you turn around and abandon your life for a hundred years, you will never look back."
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "Elder, you are too worried. I am not talented. I have never regarded myself as a knight-errant. Why do I need the day to look back?"
The man in black chuckled and said, "Oh! Then what do you think you are? You can't be a toad in a dry well, right?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "Elders know how to joke. There are no such fools in the world as those who think they are toads."
The man in black said: "If you don't want to be a toad, why don't you want to be a swan?"
Bai Yutian said loudly: "I was born as a human being, how can I be ranked with the beasts? Confucius said: 'A man with lofty ideals and a benevolent man does not seek life to harm his benevolence, but kills himself to achieve benevolence.' The younger generation is not talented, so they agree with this sentence of the old master. , and also have the heart to imitate him, to become a benevolent person with lofty ideals, to assist the people in troubled times, and to assist the law in times of governance."
The man in black said solemnly: "I'm afraid that the Song Dynasty court will not look down on you as a martial artist, and will forcefully make you unhappy in your life."
Bai Yutian said: "Zhao Mingxiu, you are wrong."
The man in black trembled slightly, his eyes revealed a fierce glare, and the black cloth in front of his lips bulged slightly, but no sound was made.
Bai Yutian didn't stop talking: "What Song wants is for everyone to do for me. What I want is for me to do for everyone. I have no conflict of interest with him, so why should he insist on giving me an unpleasant experience? Besides, where is life?" As much as I want, I only want half of what I want. Even if the Song Dynasty court doesn't like me, as long as I think highly of myself and my life is still alive, everything can be as good as I want."
The man in black said coldly: "I'm afraid that you won't be alive after today."
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "Zhao Mingxiu, listening to your tone, are you trying to be violent?"
The man in black sneered and said, "What do you think?" Then he said quickly, "But that's the point. As long as you are willing to leave alone, ignore today's busy schedule and just go back to Jiangnan, I will treat you as if you haven't arrived today. Once you pass this place, you don’t need to investigate the rights and wrongs of the past at all.”
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "If you want me to give up Mr. Fan behind me, you can do as you wish, but you have to obey me on a few things."
The man in black cheered: "It's a good thing to discuss things, please tell me."
Bai Yutian said: "First take off the black cloth cover on your head and let me see clearly who you are. If you are really Zhao Mingxiu, then you must swear a strong oath in front of your disciples and disciples. If you violate the oath in the future, Not only was his reputation ruined, but he was also beyond redemption and turned into a toad, jumping around in the sewers and reincarnated forever."
A black man jumped forward and shouted angrily: "Then give up on this idea!" The sword was unsheathed.
The man in black immediately stopped the sword wielder from attacking with a move, and said, "Do you really want to see my face? Aren't you afraid that you will regret it later and die without a burial place?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "If you don't know who committed the murder at the moment of death, wouldn't you die unjustly?"
The man in black smiled and said, "Then you are willing to leave alone?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "As long as you take off the black cloth and swear a poisonous oath, I will leave alone immediately and ignore this business."
The man in black said: "Is this what you said?"
Bai Yutian said firmly: "I said it."
For some unknown reason, the man in black actually took off the black cloth cover on his head, revealing the demonic face of the martial sage Zhao Mingxiu in front of Cui Yingying, Shi Qinghua and other disciples, giving a clear view of his face and age. Extremely incompatible.
Cui Yingying took the opportunity to run forward and said in surprise: "Master, why is it really you!"
Zhao Mingxiu ignored Cui Yingying and said to Bai Yutian, "Bai Yutian, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "You haven't sworn a poisonous oath yet, how can you tell me to leave peacefully?"
Chen Xiwen stepped forward and said sternly: "Bai Yutian, you...!"
Bai Yutian stretched out his hand to stop Chen Xiwen from continuing, and said to Zhao Mingxiu: "Zhao Mingxiu, don't you dare to swear a poisonous oath and think about regretting it in the future?"
A black man stepped forward and said, "Master, no. If this kid regrets it later, he will lose his face. No."
Zhao Mingxiu raised his hand and said to the sky: "Heaven above, I swear here in the name of Martial Saint, if Bai Yutian immediately leaves alone and ignores today's business, the grudges and grudges between me and the Chunyang Clan will be wiped out from now on. If If you break your oath, you will not die a good death."
Bai Yutian cupped his hands and said, "Zhao Mingxiu, see you later." He turned around and led Cui Yingying towards Fan Zhongyan.
In order to verify whether Bai Yutian left sincerely or pretended to leave, Zhao Mingxiu immediately launched an attack on the four brothers Chen Xiwen.
Bai Yutian pretended not to see it, came to Fan Zhongyan, bowed and said: "Sir, if you are a gentleman, you must fulfill your promise, and I can only escort you here. However, Zhao Mingxiu is the enemy of three of my disciples. The hatred is irreconcilable. Either he dies or I die. I am going to seek revenge on him. I hope that as an official of the imperial court, you will not stop me."
Chen Xiwen, who was defeated by the four brothers, was just sent over by Zhao Mingxiu with a palm. Hearing these words, he stood up and said: "Bai Yutian, what you said is just like a human word. I thought the words just now made me think Chunyangmen There really is a scoundrel or a hypocrite.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jindao, Yang Xingbiao, and Ma Chuhe were hit by Zhao Mingxiu three times in a row, almost falling to the ground.
Seeing that Bai Yutian wanted to take action, Fan Zhongyan said, "You have to settle your personal grudges with Zhao Mingxiu privately. I can't protect myself now, so what ability do I have to intervene? Just go ahead."
Bai Yutian bowed and said, "Thank you, sir." The pure Yang energy gathered in the palm of his hand, he jumped away, and met Zhao Mingxiu who was pursuing him with a palm strike. Suddenly, the surrounding dust was dancing in the wind, the green grass was kowtowing on the ground, and the trees not far away were swaying in various shapes, and the world wanted to be moved by it.
The two of them met each other with one palm, resulting in a tie. Then they fired another palm and bounced off each other. The sky was peaceful and the earth was still, half restored to the original state.
Zhao Mingxiu stood firm, the fierce light in his eyes flashed and disappeared, and said sternly: "Bai Yutian, are you going to break your promise and become a villain?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "I just promised you not to care about your own business, but I didn't say that I won't avenge my sect! It's you who have been doing evil in sheep's clothing all your life. You have done so many evil things that you don't even know who is who and who is following you." You have a deep hatred."
Zhao Mingxiu didn't understand and said, "What hatred is there between you and me?"
Bai Yutian looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, his eyes rolled horizontally, and he said: "Did you kill Medicine King Sun Renjing? Did you break Qiao Song's heart veins? You are the one who allowed Zen Master Huiming and Taoist Chunshan to dissolve all the internal energy in his body. Did you send someone to do it? Did you secretly imitate Chunyang Palm in front, sneak attack my master in the back, and send your disciples to chase him thousands of miles away? Did you force Cui Yingying and her mother to assassinate the official of the imperial court, to bring the White Lotus Sect to a place of eternal destruction? ?”
A five-question question made some people feel uneasy, some felt sad, and some just wanted to kill everyone and were ready to take action.
Zhao Mingxiu laughed and said, "Only you can do nothing to me today!"
Wushan Taoist leaped in the air, stepped over, and answered: "Isn't there still me here? Zhao Mingxiu."
Zhao Mingxiu laughed loudly and said, "You! Jing Shouming, a stinky Taoist priest who cheats and deceives you."
Wushan Taoist smiled and said: "Zhao Mingxiu, I am Jing Shouming. I am not cheating, but traveling."
