After leaving Dadu, everyone dispersed. Master Qiu Chuji planned to go back to the Quanzhen Sect first, while the Jiangnan Seven Monsters planned to go back to Jiangnan on their own to see their hometown after more than ten years of absence. Before leaving, they heard that Le Yuan planned to go with Guo Jing , and specifically asked Le Yuan to take care of Guo Jing, while Mei Chaofeng agreed to meet again in Taihu Lake.
There are only four people left who are about the same age, so they can be considered as high as the sky. The four young people were traveling south and unknowingly arrived at the Yangtze River.
Looking at the roaring Yangtze River, I can see that the river is going eastward, white waves are rolling, the fields are endless, and the water from the upper reaches is flowing continuously and never stops. The four of them explored for a while but did not find the ferry. Fortunately, the four of them had martial arts skills and good internal strength. Even Guo Jing, who had been living in the northern desert and did not know the nature of water, had already begun to get a glimpse of it after being taught by Mu Nianci for half a day.
At night, the four people who had prepared put their luggage on the little red horse, patted the red horse's butt, and prepared to swim across the river like this. Guo Jing and Mu Nianci were on one side, and Le Yuan and Huang Rong were on the other side. Take care of them in pairs, just in case.
When they swam to the center of the river, Le Yuan and Huang Rong were already far away from Guo Mu and the little red horse.
Stars twinkled in the sky, and apart from the waves in the river, there was no other sound. It seemed that there were only two people in the world, Le Yuan and Huang Rong.
The sky suddenly changed, dark clouds pressed down on the sky, the river was pitch black, heavy rain followed, and lightning and thunder followed one after another, as if they were right in front of them. Le Yuan shouted, "Rong'er, what's going on! Are you scared?" Huang Rong replied, "Don't be afraid, as long as I'm with you, there's nothing to be afraid of in the world!"
The summer rainstorm suddenly subsided. By the time Le Yuan and the two came to the shore, it had already passed and the sky had cleared. Le Yuan and Huang Rong lit up a bonfire, then took out the clothes on the little red horse, changed them each, and then put on the wet clothes. He leaned against the fire, warming himself up while waiting for Guo Jing and the others. It was time for half a stick of incense. Guo Jing and the others also went ashore. Looking at the hungry people, Le Yuan said, "I'll go get some food first." , you guys wait for me here for a while." After saying that, he walked towards the farmhouse not far away.
After a while, Le Yuan came back with a fat rooster and said with a smile, "Let's go somewhere else to eat chicken. I bought this chicken with money. Although I didn't tell the owner, I can Put your money in the henhouse, and if you don’t find it here, it’s a lost cause.”
Huang Rong took the chicken and said, "Brother Leyuan, you are tired too. Let Ronger show you his skills this time." After saying that, he cut open the belly of the rooster with an Emei steel thorn, washed and peeled off the internal organs, but did not pull them out. Then he wrapped the chicken with water and a ball of mud, lit a fire and roasted it. After roasting for a while, a sweet aroma will emerge from the mud. When the wet mud is completely dry, peel off the dry mud, and the chicken feathers will fall with the mud. The chicken will be white and tender, with a strong aroma.
When Huang Rong was about to tear the chicken apart, she heard a voice from far away: "Cut the chicken into five parts and leave the chicken butt to me." The three of them except Le Yuan were all shocked. With the help of Geng, he had already entered the room, but he did not hear the footsteps of the person coming. However, Le Yuan heard the footsteps and knew that the person coming was not weak in martial arts and could be said to be a top master. Thinking about this place at this time, although he did not know the specific details, The specific situation in the original work, but the top masters who may appear in this area will definitely not be Dongxie or Xidu, and Nandi is still living in seclusion. Only Hong Qigong has this possibility. There is no need to be prepared for Hong Qigong. Hong Qigong didn't have any ill intentions toward young people like them.
The person who came was a middle-aged beggar with a rectangular face, a slight beard under the chin, gray hair, thick hands and feet. His clothes were patched here and there, but he had washed them cleanly. He was holding a green bamboo stick, as bright as jade, and a large gourd with vermilion paint on his back. The most peculiar thing was his eyes staring at the chicken butt, drooling, and swallowing saliva from time to time, as if he had been there all his life. As if he had never eaten a chicken butt, he would fall out with anyone who was strong with him.
I saw him calmly facing everyone, took out the gourd, took a sip of wine, and the aroma of wine immediately overflowed. He handed the gourd to Guo Jing and said, "Here, baby, take a sip."
Mu Nianci, who was next to Guo Jing, looked at it carefully and then shouted, "Ah! You are, you are Hong... Senior, don't you recognize me?" After saying that, he played a set of Xiaoyaoyou. Hong Qigong first played Stunned, he suddenly realized when he saw Mu Nianci's Xiaoyaoyou, "Ah, it's you, a little girl. I haven't seen you look like this in ten years. Is this your best friend?" Looking at Hong Qigong pointing at Guo Jing, Mu Nian said Ci's face felt hot.
Huang Rong also reacted when she saw that Hong Qigong's right hand only had four fingers. She tore off half of the chicken and gave him the half with the buttocks attached.
Hong Qigong's face was filled with joy. He took the chicken from Huang Rong's hand and ate it cleanly. As he ate, he couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful, wonderful. Even my ancestor Hua couldn't manage such a great thing." Beggar chicken." Seeing Hong Qigong's appearance, Huang Rong also gave him the remaining chicken. Hong Qigong said, "How can that be done? You guys haven't eaten it yet?" Although he said this But he didn't stop eating, and in a short time he had eaten only a few chicken bones.
Seeing that no one had eaten, Le Yuan had nothing to do with the few people in front of him. In front of everyone, he took out the Ling Zang library from the props column. The Ling Zang library was Le Yuan's final ration and placed the ingredients collected by Le Yuan. Suddenly seeing Le Yuan taking out such a big box, everyone opened their mouths. Huang Rong covered her mouth and said, "Brother Le Yuan, what are you doing?"
"This is my final secret, but who makes you Xiao Ronger? Brother Guo is the most honest person, and the same goes for Sister Mu. Senior Hong Qi Gong Hong will not reveal my little secret."
"So you kid already knows who I am, but you have to give me an explanation. This can't be explained by magic." Hong Qigong looked at Le Yuan with an inquiring look.
Le Yuan took out three chickens from the Ling Cang Store and cooked them himself. After a while, the smell was even more fragrant than before and spread to everyone. Le Yuan divided the two chickens respectively to Guo Jing and Hong Qi. Male, and he and Huang Rong share a chicken.
Hong Qigong only took one bite before he couldn't bear it any longer. He ate the whole chicken like a gust of wind. He thought about it and said, "Is this still the taste of chicken? This really doesn't look like a delicacy in the world. You... Could it be that the doll really comes from the fairy world?"
"I don't know whether there is a fairy world, but I only know that there is more than one world." Following Le Yuan's words, a light flashed in Hong Qigong's eyes. But Huang Rong looked at Le Yuan with wide eyes and said, "Brother Le Yuan, aren't you..."
"I wonder if you have heard that one flower and one world, one tree and floating life, one grass and one paradise, one leaf and one Tathagata, one sand and one bliss, one square and one pure land, one smile and one dust, one thought and one tranquility." Looking at the people who nodded among them. Hong Qigong and Huang Rong, Le Yuan continued, "I come from other worlds. As for why I came, it can be said to be a trial or destiny, but I have no ill intentions towards this world."
"Brother Leyuan, will you leave here?" Huang Rong's eyes were full of hope. Although it was cruel, she had to say, "I can stay for two years before leaving. As for whether I can come back again, it is unknown." Before she finished speaking, Huang Rong's eyes were filled with tears. Le Yuan stroked Huang Rong's head and said, "Rong'er, when we are reunited and separated freely, as for whether we can see each other again, everything depends on that empty fate. "
Hong Qigong took a sip of wine and said, "Then what do you want to do in the past two years?"
"Be a chivalrous and righteous person, travel around the world, and compete with the four best in today's martial arts world." Le Yuan looked at Hong Qigong and said.
"With a baby like you, the future world will never be lonely. Why don't you make some gestures first?" After learning about Le Yuan's plan, Hong Qigong felt a little itchy.
"Since Senior Hong is so interested, I will naturally accompany you to the end." After saying that, he took out the Ziwei soft sword. For a master at the Wujue level, even the slightest hesitation would be fatal.
"Okay, today the old beggar will use the Beggar Clan's dog-beating stick technique to challenge you." After saying that, he picked up the dog-beating stick and attacked Le Yuan.
"Look at the old beggar hitting the dog's back diagonally." As he spoke, the stick moved and hit Le Yuan's cheek in a continuous motion. How could Le Yuan let him hit him? He fought with swords. Ziwei's soft sword blocked the attack of the dog beating stick. Facing Le Yuan who was holding down the dog beating stick, Hong Qigong immediately changed his moves and used a move to press the dog's back. Counterattack, the stick body stretched out suddenly, the stick head rested on the Ziwei soft sword, pressed down gently, reversed the situation with four or two strokes of a thousand catties, and then used the "Tang" formula. The bamboo stick was like an extremely tough thin No matter how hard Le Yuan tried, he couldn't break away from Hong Qigong's dog-beating stick. Le Yuan had no choice but to use Lingbo Weibu to try to get rid of the influence of the "Tangle" formula. When the wrapping force of the dog-beating stick weakened, he used a Using the breaking spear style, the sword body was like a cold dragon rolling over the river, hitting Hong Qigong's right shoulder directly.
Hong Qigong took his time and used his vicious dog to block the road. He held his stick in front of him. When the crape myrtle soft sword hit him, he trembled sideways and wrapped around him. He took advantage of the situation and used the force to swing it outwards. The crape myrtle soft sword was pulled aside, and he was happy. Yuandeng's flaw was revealed immediately, and Hong Qigong roared, "Take this move and there will be no dog in the world." This is the most exquisite move in the stick technique. There are sticks in all directions, and the power is very wide. Le Yuan It was difficult to resist, just when Le Yuan was about to be hit, Le Yuan yelled, "Breaking Qi Style." In front of Yuan's eyes, Le Yuan took advantage of the victory and used the general formula to pursue the victory. There was no change, no move or sword, and he was in urgent need of breaking the attack. Faced with this dangerous situation, Hong Qigong used his full strength and shocked Le Yuan with his tyrannical power. Yuan's sword, the two sides returned to the same starting point.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and started fighting again. Gradually, Hong Qigong's hands began to tremble slightly. The power of the sixth level of Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong was not something you could just pick up. Hong Qigong had to pay for it. At a slight cost, his arms fell into fatigue during the constant collisions, and Le Yuan also fell into crisis. The long-term use of Zhenqi put his Zhenqi in danger of losing control. When the two sides retreated again, After driving, Le Yuan waved his hand and said, "Senior Hong, I lost this time, so that's it for today!"
"You are not a simple kid. Your swordsmanship is rare in the world. You specialize in the flaws in your moves. If we were to compare, the old beggar really has no advantage except for being more powerful than you. This fight is a draw."
Following Hong Qigong's declaration of a tie, Le Yuan received the task.
