Xie Xun said: "No need. I came to the west this time because I wanted to travel. Unexpectedly, I entered the Kunlun Mountains. I fell in love with the environment in the mountains and found that it was very suitable for martial arts training, so I became a hunter in the mountains. I’ve been here for five years, and now I’m homesick and plan to go home and visit.”
Yang Xiao knew it wasn't that simple. It was just the first time the two met and they couldn't talk in depth.
Yang Xiao also did not recruit Xie Xun for the Mingjiao. Firstly, Xie Xun's origin was not very clear. Secondly, Xie Xun was a few years older than himself, but his skills were obviously better than his own. Going to the Mingjiao might not be a good thing for him. Make a friend in person first and talk about the rest later.
Xie Xun said goodbye to Yang Xiao, took the banknotes in his arms, bought himself a new outfit, and took care of his personal hygiene. He didn't want to scare his parents when he returned home.
Seeing that he finally looked like a civilized person, he left the Western Region.
Going home this time was different from when I came here. At that time, I was eager to obtain the peerless martial arts, so I traveled day and night without stopping for a moment along the way. Although I am eager to go home now, I don't need to rush like that.
And if you have money in your arms at this time, you can eat when you need to eat, stay when you need to live, and take a look when there is excitement. Take the official road, but also take the mountain road, wherever you want, you can do whatever you want.
On this day, I was walking on a mountain path in the northwest when I suddenly heard the sound of fighting ahead.
Xie Xun stepped forward quickly, turned the corner, and saw a group of people fighting in front of him.
After watching it for a while, I realized that this was a robbery. There were several escort carriages in the middle, with the escort flag "Longmen Escort Bureau" on them. Many of the people guarding the escort carriages were injured by arrows.
Few people in the martial arts world use bows and arrows. It seems that these bandits are very flexible in their thinking. Bows and arrows are not like hidden weapons. They do not require hard training. As long as there are many people, they will shoot out randomly in one direction. There will always be a few unlucky ones who cannot avoid the overwhelming arrows, and then they will come down to fight. The efficiency is indeed better.
Xie Xun thought "Longmen Escort Bureau" sounded familiar, but couldn't remember where he heard it.
There were a few uninjured people in the escort agency who were fighting bravely, but a few people were beaten badly. Their hats fell off, but they were left with bald heads and ring scars.
One of the young men who besieged them was tall and had extraordinary arm strength. A pair of large green watermelon meteor hammers made of fine steel were very heavy, but they flew up and down when he used them, with extraordinary bravery. There was also a young man with powerful palms and long breath, who seemed to be good both inside and outside.
Seeing that the escort agency was in danger, Xie Xun couldn't ignore it since he encountered it. He rushed forward suddenly, raised his mace, and hit the big watermelon with a loud "dang" sound.
The big watermelon flew far away, and the man's mouth was shattered. His arms were numb and it was difficult to lift it up again. He stayed on the spot.
After this incident, both sides immediately stopped fighting and looked at Xie Xun.
Xie Xun didn't even bother to fight, so he stopped taking action.
Another young man asked: "Are you from Longmen Escort Agency?"
Xie Xun shook his head and said, "No, I was just passing by."
At this time, another horse rushed up from behind them, and a man immediately sat upright and said, "Since we are passing by, do you want to take over this incident?"
Only then did Xie Xun realize that there was someone among the robbers who had been watching the enemy's formation from behind and had not taken any action.
Xie Xun looked at this man, who was in his twenties and under thirty, with a tall build, a hawk-like nose and deep eyes. His biggest feature was that he had two white eyebrows for his young age.
Xie Xun's heart moved: "There must be no one else with this image."
Xie Xun remained calm and didn't call out his name. It was hard to explain when he called him. He just didn't recognize him, but he felt close to him in his heart.
Xie Xun said: "I don't know them, I don't know you, and I'm not a good person. Robbery is never an honest matter. If you have personal vendettas, then I can't care about it. If it's just for wealth, why don't you show me your noble hand?" .”
The man said: "If you want to protect them, you can't do it without leaving behind some skills. How can we, the sons and daughters of the world, have so much benevolence, justice and morality? It's better to see the truth behind our hands."
At this time, the leader of the escort agency came over. He was in his twenties and strong. He stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "I am Du Dajin, the chief escort of the Longmen Escort Agency in Lin'an Prefecture. He is a lay disciple of Shaolin."
Xie Xun thought to himself: "So it's you."
He looked at the white-browed young man again and said, "In the original novel, it was this man's daughter who destroyed all your families. You two are really destined."
Looking at the monks in disguise again, it seems that the Shaolin Temple still attaches great importance to the Longmen Escort Agency. Afraid of the young Dajin, they specially sent a few disciples from the temple to help. In other words, the Shaolin Temple attaches great importance to all lay disciples. .
It is these lay disciples who form the huge perimeter of the Shaolin Temple and are also their source of wealth. Without the offerings of these lay disciples, they would not be able to earn food just by chanting sutras.
The Shaolin Temple has stood for thousands of years. Regardless of the change of dynasties or the invasion of foreign tribes, it can lead the martial arts and is respected by all. It can be said that the successive abbots of Shaolin Temple are all excellent politicians and are proficient in political economics. Maybe this Longmen Escort Agency is the property of the Shaolin Temple, and Du Dajin is just a professional manager. The Shaolin Temple looks like an outsider in this secular world, but in fact it probably has a lot of property, and they also enjoy all the luxury. Without money, how could one have such great influence? In the final analysis, all discussions about the pros and cons of ideologies are not based on the economic foundation, which determines the superstructure.
Xie Xun said: "Since you are a disciple of Shaolin, then brother, you should give Shaolin face. If there is no personal hatred, forget it."
The young man with white eyebrows said: "It's okay to give Shaolin face, but if you want to use the name of Shaolin Temple to scare me, it's just too simple."
Xie Xun said: "I have no intention of doing this. Shaolin is a big sect after all. It's not worth it to have a grudge against Shaolin just for some money."
The white-browed young man said with a smile: "You don't mean that, but Mr. Du does. What do you think? Mr. Du thinks the Shaolin name is still acceptable here?"
Du Dajin's face was full of shame and anger, and he shouted: "Huh, my Shaolin is the largest sect in the world. If you dare to insult my Shaolin, this matter will never end."
The white-browed young man smiled at Xie Xun and said, "Do you think I should give up?"
Xie Xun was also a little angry that Du Dajin didn't know what was good and what was good. He thought of He Taichong again. These disciples from famous and upright sects were all similar, with their eyes above their heads and arrogant.
Xie Xun frowned and said: "Boss, Mr. Du, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. The Shaolin Sect is indeed powerful, but it is thousands of miles away. Who can you scare with the name of Shaolin Temple? You are out to be a escort to protect your clients' property." , I didn’t come out to show off my power to Shaolin.”
Du Dajin is also young and energetic, but still resentful. He also saw that Xie Xun was a little impatient. He and Xie Xun didn't have any friendship. He had already done his best to stop the other party. If this white-browed young man refuses to let go until his death, does he still want this stranger to fight for him? Shaolin's name seems to be a little uneasy here, so I have to keep silent.
Xie Xun said to the white-browed young man again: "The famous sect has always been arrogant, and he is not the only one. If brothers are all worried about each other, there will be no time to be busy. Today is not a big event in the first place, so why bother to form a personal vendetta over some quarrels? Shaolin Although he has a great reputation, there are many heroes who are not afraid of him. This Du Dajin is just a nobody in Shaolin, why should I be the same as him?"
The white-browed young man heard the tone of his voice and was disapproving of Shaolin. It seemed that he had drawn his sword to help when there was an injustice. It was probably not to curry favor with Shaolin. He also had a good impression in his heart and his thoughts changed. He said: "Okay, I will give you face today, brother. Sparing them is not to give Shaolin face. But it is better to meet by chance than to invite them. I have seen your magical power today, and I really can’t bear not to show you. How about we do a few moves? "
Xie Xun knew that this man was generous and heroic. He was an upright and extraordinary man who could afford to take things in hand. He really had no other intention in inviting him this time. He just wanted to make friends. Use force to make friends, just click on it."
Xie Xun turned to Du Dajin and said, "Mr. Du, please leave quickly."
Du Dajin clasped his fists. He also heard that Xie Xun was looking down on Shaolin, but if he tried to argue again, it would be a bit disrespectful. He was just new to the world, and he was a little arrogant relying on the power of Shaolin, but he didn't even understand this little bit of human sophistication. He said: "Thank you so much, young hero. I dare to ask you what your name is. Young hero's kindness will be remembered in Dajin." Heart."
Xie Xun said: "No need to be polite, my name is Xie Xun. I will continue to say a few words, but I am the head escort. The business of opening an escort agency is business. It is not like fighting in the rivers and lakes. If you betray the trust of your employer, even if you show your prestige, you will still fail." peace brings money."
At this time, a middle-aged gentleman came over, clasped his fists and said, "I am Lu Xian from Wuzhong, the employer of the Longmen Escort Bureau. Now so many people in the Longmen Escort Bureau are injured, and our trip is still far away. I am afraid that something will happen again on the road. I want to Please help me with the escort, and I’m willing to pay you a hundred taels of gold. What do you think?”
Xie Xun took a look at the vehicle. It seemed that the goods in the vehicle were valuable, but he still shook his head and said: "I haven't been home for many years, and now I am anxious to go home. Although my home is in the Central Plains, it is located in the northwest. Your Wu It’s too far away from my home and I can’t go there.”
Lu Xian did not expect that a hundred taels of gold would be rejected so decisively, but he was worried about the safety of the goods, so he did not give up and said: "Strong men, don't refuse in a hurry. We can discuss the price. My father, Lu Daoyuan, is the richest man in Wuzhong. This batch of The goods are very important to us, how about we go together first, and then discuss it when we get to the strong man’s home?”
Xie Xun smiled and said: "You have revealed your bottom line, so you are not afraid that I will ask for a high price? I don't have time to go, so you should leave quickly."
He ignored them and came to the white-browed young man.
Xie Xun said: "When I first came out of the martial arts world, I liked to make friends with heroes all over the world. When I saw my brother, I felt like it. My dear, Xie Xun, I have met my brother."
The white-browed young man dismounted from his horse and clasped his fists, saying, "I'm Yin Tianzheng."
Xie Xun thought: "Sure enough."
Yin Tianzheng said: "My village is not far from here, why don't we go up the mountain and get drunk before resting."
Xie Xun said: "It couldn't be better."
