Rivers and lakes, wilderness withered and flourishing, roads and roads, the sun rises and sets, and the green mountains never grow old.
There was smoke and the sound of horse hooves all the way, occasionally mixed with Guan Fangyi's muttered curses.
The person being scolded did not respond, and only smiled occasionally. However, Yuan Gang heard this very unpleasantly, and looked away coldly from time to time.
Guan Fangyi left after all, but she just followed Niu Youdao, accompanying him all the way.
There were not many people, only ten riders in a group.
Yuanfang seemed a little itchy because he was unable to participate in the ups and downs of Nanzhou. This time he heard that Niu Youdao was going to travel far again, so he followed him shamelessly.
As for Gongsun Bu, no one was sent to follow him.
Gongsun Bu followed Niu Youdao's wishes to expand his intelligence network, and things gradually became more numerous, and it was no longer appropriate to run around. This trip is going to the Song Dynasty. Usually Yuan Gang and Guan Fangyi are involved in the intelligence network of Wuliang Mountain and know how to contact the spies from the Song Dynasty, so there is no need to bring people from Wuliang Mountain with them.
During a section of the mountain road, the group stopped their horses and stopped at an intersection into the mountain, which was exactly the way into Xiaomiao Village.
Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang were both looking around the entrance. They were filled with emotion when they saw this entrance again in a few years.
Niu Lin, Yuan Huo, and Niushan pulled their horses out from the group and said goodbye: "Master Tao, let's go."
Niu Youdao smiled and nodded, "Send hello to the folks for me."
Niu Lin couldn't help but ask again, "Master Dao, don't you really want to go back and take a look? Your old house is still there." He almost said that his ancestral grave was here.
Guan Fangyi's eyes flickered, and she looked around towards the end of the mountain road with curiosity. She actually wanted to visit the so-called Xiaomiao Village, and wanted to see what geomantic treasure land could produce a freak like Niu Youdao.
Not only is Niu Youdao, even though she and Yuan Gang have no dealings, she still has good eyesight and can tell that Yuan Gang is not simple. There are two such figures in a small mountain village, so how can she not be curious.
Not to mention her, even Uncle Chen and others who were accompanying him couldn't help but take a second look at the end of the mountain road.
Niu Youdao smiled and said nothing. Some questions did not need to be answered.
Yuan Gang shouted: "Don't be so long-winded."
Niu Lin and the others had no choice but to bow their hands again, then turned their mounts and rushed into the mountain road, galloping away.
Niu Youdao turned his head and looked at Yuan Gang, "Why don't you go back and take a look?"
Yuan Gang didn't answer. He tapped the horse's belly with his heels and took the lead in galloping forward.
Niu Youdao chased after him, and the group continued on their way.
After experiencing some things from Qingshan County to Qi State and then to Changping City, especially after the death of more than thirty brothers, Yuan Gang finally understood deeply what Niu Youdao had asked him to do behind the scenes.
Just like Niu Youdao did to him at the beginning, he now feels that the distance between himself and his brothers has widened. There are some risks that he can bear, and asking his brothers to rush together is no different from risking death.
Fang understood that the way of thinking brought from another world was a bit out of date, and there was no point in training the brothers anymore. The main reason is that the two parties have different values. He and Niu Youdao can be at home all over the world, but the concept that brothers must start a family and start a career sooner or later is deeply ingrained, and it is unreasonable for so many people to be like the two of them.
In addition, after he fought hard to rescue Shang Chaozong, Shang Chaozong admired his people very much, and now Shang Chaozong controlled the entire Nanzhou and was in urgent need of people. So Yuan Gang took advantage of the situation and handed over the brothers to Shang Chaozong, letting them all pursue a secular future.
Yuan Gang let go.
This time, Niu Lin and the others came back to move out all the people in Xiaomiao Village. Nanzhou is so big that the people of Xiaomiao Village can live a different kind of life away from the mountain village.
In fact, Niu Youdao does not want the people in Xiaomiao Village to move out. He does not think that the life the villagers will live after they leave Xiaomiao Village is a better life. However, Niu Lin and others believe that that is a better life. Maybe the villagers thought that way too, so Niu Youdao didn't object.
Everyone has their own choices, and he will not force them to do so.
As for bringing Yuan Gang along this time and not letting Yuan Gang stay behind the scenes, it was Yuan Gang himself who proved his strength and could confront the monks of the Golden Core stage head-on...
The mountains and rivers are connected, and if you look around, you will see beautiful bells and whistles in the distance.
Guan Fangyi had already figured out the places he passed along the route, pointed at them and asked, "Sir, that place is the Shangqing Sect, right?"
Niu Youdao said "hmm".
The mountains are still the same mountains, and the water is still the same water. When the group of people passed by quickly, Guan Fangyi asked again: "Master Tao, don't you go back and take a look there?"
Niu Youdao didn't say a word, didn't even look at it, and passed like a gust of wind...
In Beizhou, several horses were galloping on the official road in the mountains. Tang Yi and Su Po rode in front, followed closely by several disciples of the Shangqing Sect behind them.
There are monsters causing trouble in Beizhou. The group was ordered by Shao Pingbo to eliminate the monsters and bring peace to the people. They succeeded and returned to their lives.
Today's Shangqing Sect can only do this kind of errands and chores.
"Roar!" A roar came from deep in the forest, causing several people to panic and lose control of their mounts.
Everyone who quickly controlled their mounts turned their heads to look at the source of the beast's roar. They were surprised and confused. This roar was not like that of ordinary beasts. It was a bit strange and seemed familiar.
"Golden Retriever Roar!" Su Po remembered.
"Uncle Master!" Tang Yi blurted out, almost in unison with Su Po.
In an instant, Tang Yi's face showed a look of joy, and he flew up from the horse's back and flew towards the mountain forest.
Su Po immediately signaled two disciples to guard the mount, and led the others to fly after him. It was not convenient for the leader to run around alone.
However, Tang Yi didn't appreciate it. He stopped on the treetop and reached out to stop the people who were following him. "Elder Su, my uncle doesn't want to meet people from the Shangqing Sect. I can go and meet him alone."
For the same reason, Su Po said in a deep voice: "Master, be careful. If there is any abnormality, please report it to the police immediately!"
Tang Yi nodded and continued flying towards the source of the sound, eager to see the owner of Golden Retriever Roar.
Over the years, the predicament of the Shangqing Sect has made her worried, but she has never been able to find a way out of the predicament. She never expected to hear the sound of Golden Roar again here. She was eager to ask the owner of Golden Roar to respect the old relationship of Shangqing Sect. Come to help.
There is another mountain stream. A majestic beast that looks like a lion but not a lion, with shiny golden hair, is splashing in the stream to catch fish. When it catches one, it stuffs it into its mouth and bites it wildly. Lying on the pebble beach nearby was a sloppy man with a pillow in one arm and a wine gourd in one hand, pouring sips into his mouth from time to time.
Tang Yi fell from the sky, her skirts fluttering like a fairy, and landed on the pebble beach.
The golden retriever stopped for a moment, looked back, and then continued to play in the stream.
"Uncle Master!" Tang Yi bowed his hands in greeting.
Zhao Xiongge, who was burping with wine, opened his blurry drunken eyes and took a look, seemingly a little surprised, "Girl, is that you? Don't yell, I'm not your uncle. How did you find yourself here?"
Seemingly feeling that it was inappropriate to talk to his uncle while standing like this, Tang Yi sat down cross-legged, "I happened to be passing by here and overheard the sound of a golden retriever roaring. I ran over and saw that it was really my uncle."
Zhao Xiongge casually picked up a pebble and threw it out, then hit the golden retriever and yelled, "What are you yelling at?"
The golden retriever roared without looking back. He flicked his tail behind his butt and made a crisp sound, instantly smashing the pebbles he hit into pieces.
This scene made Tang Yi look sideways. He didn't expect Jinmaohou's tail to be so powerful in a casual blow. No wonder he could become the mount of the devil's saint.
Zhao Xiongge sat up with the wine gourd in his arms and breathed out the wine: "What are you doing sitting here? People have seen it, please go back and don't disturb my peace."
Tang Yi cupped his fists and said: "Uncle Master, the Shangqing Sect is suffering in a difficult situation now and the disciples are incompetent. Please help the Shangqing Sect out of the kindness of our master."
Zhao Xiongge said: "The Shangqing Sect's affairs have nothing to do with me." He picked up the wine gourd and poured wine.
Tang Yi begged: "Uncle Master, the Shangqing Sect is really going to fall apart if it continues to endure. Is it possible that the Shangqing Sect is so heartless and can't bear to see the Shangqing Sect exterminated?"
Zhao Xiongge said slowly: "Don't you think it's redundant to tell me this to an outsider? It's not like your Shangqing Sect doesn't have capable people, so why ask for an outsider."
Tang Yi smiled bitterly, "The talents of the Shangqing Sect are withering. Where can the capable people come from? If there are capable people, how can they be in such a state of decline today, uncle..."
Zhao Xiongge interrupted: "That Niu Youdao is quite capable. Even I heard some of his deeds in Demon Ridge. He has the ability to turn things upside down. He is just a member of the Shangqing Sect. If he is willing to give it a try, the Shangqing Sect will come out. The predicament should not be a problem. Alas, Dong Guo Haoran still has some foresight, and he has taken on a good apprentice! You girl, if you have people of your own, why are you nagging me? Am I the one who is doing things like cows and horses? "
Speaking of this, Tang Yi's face was full of bitterness, "Uncle Master, you don't know that Niu Youdao has been expelled from the school."
Zhao Xiongge seemed a little forgetful, "Is this happening?"
Tang Yi: "It's not that my disciple has never looked for him, but he has vowed to draw a clear line with the Shangqing Sect. I am willing to give up the position of leader, but he still vows not to look back."
"You're not old, but you have quite a bad temper." Zhao Xiongge muttered to himself, then squinted: "I remember, you and him seemed to be a married couple, right? The relationship between classmates is gone, and the relationship between husband and wife is not Are you still there? It is only natural for a husband to help his wife. It is not a shameful thing for a wife to beg her husband. You should go and beg him. If you can't even let go of your dignity and are unwilling to save yourself, what else can you hope for? Isn’t it an outsider?”
After saying that, he dodged and landed on Jin Maohou's back to ride on.
"Roar!" Golden Retriever looked up to the sky and roared angrily before turning around and leaving.
Tang Yi immediately stood up and shouted, "Uncle Master, do you really have the heart to watch the Shangqing Sect perish?"
"Girl, remember, if I had that ability, I wouldn't have ended up like that. If a sect wants to stand in the world of spiritual practice where grievances and interests are entangled, it is useless to rely on one person to fight and kill. One person's force can no longer Being strong can only protect a sect for a while. If you want to lead a sect to a long-term future, you need people with real brains and ability."
Zhao Xiongge, who was riding on the back of Golden Retriever, raised his head and took a sip of wine. He burped and said, "The facts over the years have proven that Niu Youdao does have that ability, and you can use it with confidence. I heard Niu Youdao is on his way to the Song Dynasty, and his destination is the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate. Girl, if you really want to revive the Shangqing Sect, go find him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Maohou sat down and suddenly ran away, splashing water all the way.
