    Chapter 16 Injured

    Ma Xingkong was stunned. After a moment, he shook his head and laughed. This Taoist priest Guanlan spoke directly and never minced words.

    Although he was a bit blunt, he was more credible than those who talked sweetly and had swords behind their backs. Ma Xingkong was not angry.

    When he returned to the small courtyard, Ma Chunhua was in the courtyard, pacing back and forth. When she saw him coming in, she hurriedly greeted him: "Master, how are you?"

    Xiao Yuesheng nodded: "Well, it's settled, the chief escort should be able to calm down for a while."

    He deliberately adopts this style, with a cold expression, as if he is unsophisticated, and there is no need to smile or care about his demeanor. Over time, people will get used to it and it will be taken for granted.

    "Besides, with his current martial arts skills, he doesn't need to look at anyone's face. A man who has no scruples and follows the heavens is the mind of a Taoist.

    He is now focusing on martial arts training, and other things are secondary. For this goal, he stayed in the Pegasus Escort Agency.

    There are sufficient medicinal materials here, as well as a stable environment. Ma Chunhua can take care of three meals a day and other trivial matters in life, so there is no need to worry about him.

    "If you accept a male disciple, you won't be able to do these things at all. Instead, he will cause trouble all day long. It will be very annoying for him, the master, to clean up the mess, so he will not accept a male disciple.

    Ma Chunhua was overjoyed when she heard this, her smile was as bright as a flower, her face was radiant, and she hummed: "Master is here, one is worth two, thank you very much Master!"

    Xiao Yuesheng nodded, accepting her thanks, glanced at her, and said coldly: "You are in seclusion now and cannot go out. It will take ten days!"

    "Yes, Master!" Ma Chunhua wrinkled her nose.

    Li Er is tall, burly and majestic, like a giant bear, and his clothes are immediately torn by muscles. He looks like he has strong martial arts skills that no one dares to underestimate.

    He is a handyman of the Pegasus Escort Bureau, responsible for some chores, but he is also a fat man. Since Taoist Guanlan came to the Escort Agency, he has been responsible for purchasing medicinal materials.

    In the evening of that day, he returned to the small courtyard where he lived, and all the practitioners in the same courtyard also came back. After practicing the exercises, he was covered in stinky sweat, so he went to the well in the small courtyard, picked up a bucket of cold water, and poured it on his head.  , from top to bottom, get a good shower.

    Counting Li Er, a total of four people lived in the small courtyard. The rooms on the left and right of the main house and the east and west wings were not as spacious as the small courtyard each of the bodyguards had, but they were still spacious.

    Li Er picked up a bucket, poured it on his head, groaned happily, wiped his face, picked up a towel and wiped his ears.

    "I'm talking about Li Er, you've been very busy these days. Look how tired you are, working non-stop all day long!" A big man who was wiping his head grinned. He was shirtless, with bulging muscles. He was extremely strong, and only  Looking at his momentum, you can tell he is not a good person.

    Li Er sighed, wiped his hair, and shook his head: "Don't mention it!My legs almost broke in the past few days!"

    "What on earth is the Taoist doing, using so much medicine?" the big man asked casually.

    Li Er shook his head: "Who knows this?!"

    Fu sighed again and said: "The Taoist priest is unpredictable. I'm afraid no one knows what he does except the eldest lady."

    "It seems to me that he is practicing elixirs!" said another big man. He was also tall, with a square face and looked honest and simple.

    ¡°Oh¡ª¡ª?! Lao San, you know?¡± Li Er turned to look at him.

    He nodded: "Isn't this simple? Every time we see a doctor, the Taoist priest gives us some medicine. Isn't it because of his practice?"

    "Well, it makes sense." The big man grinned and raised his stubby eyebrows: "How can we use so many medicines?!"

    "The rest, practice and prepare for later use!" The big man chuckled, looking more and more honest.

    "That's not the case." Li Er shook his head, disapproving.

    The big man asked unconvinced: "Where did the Taoist priest go with all the medicine he got?"

    Li Er shook his head: "If you are practicing medicine for later use, there is no need to rush it. I have been using too much medicine these days!"

    "Forget it, forget it, the Taoist priest is doing something strange. Even if we try hard to figure it out, we can't figure it out. Why waste our efforts?!" Another big man said lazily, pulled out a bucket of water from the well, and poured it all over his head.  On the bed, there was a splash, and the whole body was wet.

    "The fourth child is right, let's waste our efforts!" Li Er said with a smile.

    In Xiao Yuesheng's small courtyard, the setting sun was setting and the evening wind was blowing, making the bamboo forest swell.

    In the small pavilion in front of the bamboo forest

    Ma Chunhua stretched out her white jade-like hand. There was a snow-white porcelain bottle on the table in the center of the pavilion. She reached for it, pulled out the stopper, and poured out more than ten black pellets in the palm of her hand, aboutIt was about the size of a thumb and was so black that it perfectly complemented her small white jade-like hands.

    She kept staring at these pellets with a grimace on her face.

    Xiao Yuesheng sat opposite her. They both sat cross-legged in front of the railing of the small pavilion. Listening to the rustling bamboo forest, they felt particularly peaceful and it was easier to enter a state of concentration.

    She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yuesheng: "Master, do you have to eat so much?"

    Xiao Yuesheng slowly opened his eyes and formed a mudra with his hands in front of his lower abdomen, revealing a bit of mystery and elegance.

    He glanced at Ma Chunhua and said calmly: "If you want to increase your power, just eat this much and eat more next time!"

    After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes again.

    "Alas" Ma Chunhua sighed helplessly, and when he closed his eyes, she rolled her eyes at him and quickly made a face.

    Then, he stretched out his left hand, picked up a pill with his index finger and thumb, looked at it for a few times, and slowly put it into the small mouth of the cherry.

    Originally she had a grimace, wrinkled up, and squinted her eyes hard, but after taking the pill into her mouth, her face relaxed.

    She pursed her lips in surprise, ate one pill, then another, one after another, and after a while, she had swallowed more than ten pills.

    To her surprise, these pills tasted very good. Although they had a medicinal smell, they were mixed with peak honey and some flowers and could be put into the mouth.

    Unlike in the past, every pill looks beautiful and makes people vomit out the gall when taken into the mouth, which is not something ordinary people can afford.

    She suffered so much that when she saw the pills, she felt afraid. Unexpectedly, this time was an exception.

    She pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that the master had put in a lot of effort. Ma Chunhua felt very sweet. She quickly finished eating, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.

    As soon as she closed her bright eyes, Xiao Yuesheng opened his eyes, looked at her, shook his head, smiled, and closed his eyes again.

    Pegasus Escort Agency Lobby

    In the early morning, Ma Xingkong was dressed in a black satin outfit, sitting on the Grand Master's chair with a big golden sword, shaking his head, and put two iron gall bladders on the table.

    Xu Zheng stood at the foot of the steps and said loudly: "Master, just let me go. I can definitely protect this escort!"

    He is also dressed in black satin and has a tall and straight body. His face is covered with scars from acne, but he still has a heroic spirit, but there is a trace of melancholy between his eyebrows.

    Ma Xingkong waved his hand: "Zheng'er, don't talk big, this escort is going to Qingfeng Village, these guys are not easy to deal with!"

    Xu Zheng looked disapproving and patted his chest: "It's just the Three Swords of Qingfeng. Don't worry, Master, I'll be careful!"

    Ma Xingkong hummed: "The Qingfeng Three Swords are so powerful because of their swordsmanship. No one takes them seriously. No matter which escort agency they meet, they will bleed heavily. You are so impatient that you will not be convinced.  There¡¯s going to be a fight!¡±

    "Master, I just don't have the same knowledge as them!" Xu Zheng smiled and looked at Ma Xingkong eagerly.

    Ma Xingkong thought for a while, but still shook his head: "You have to be nice. If you really meet me, you won't talk so calmly."

    Xu Zheng blushed, stamped his feet vigorously, and said loudly: "Master! This disciple is no longer a child, he can stand alone!"

    "You" Ma Xingkong was startled and pointed at him, his face full of surprise.

    Xu Zheng has always been obedient to him, not daring to violate even a single sentence. Unexpectedly, he dared to speak so loudly today.

    Xu Zheng said hurriedly: "Master, forgive me, but I am impatient"

    "Alas" Ma Xingkong sighed, waved his hand, nodded and said, "Okay, since you insist on escorting, let Chunhua and Taoist Guanlan follow you."

    "Master, you still can't trust this disciple!" Xu Zheng said hurriedly, staring at Ma Xingkong with dissatisfaction.

    Ma Xingkong lowered his face and snorted, "Nonsense!"

    Xu Zheng immediately stopped talking, pursed his lips tightly, and had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

    Ma Xingkong looked at him for a long time, tapped the armrest of the Taishi chair with his fingers, pondered for a while, and nodded: "Okay, I'll let it go for once!"

    He let out a long sigh and said seriously: "Zheng'er, I'm getting old as a teacher. If I want to wash my hands, it's time to let go and let you stand alone!"

    "Master?!" Xu Zheng looked at him hurriedly and said hurriedly: "Master, you are not old at all, your martial arts are still so powerful, why do you have to wash your hands?!"

    Ma Xingkong gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "I am not old, I know it well in my heart as a teacher. Zheng'er, when the escort comes back this time, you will take charge of our Pegasus Escort Agency!"

    "Master?!" Xu Zheng looked at him in surprise.

    "Haha, are you wondering why master didn't let Chunhua take over but let you?" Ma Xingkong asked with a smile.

    Xu Zheng was startled.??, still full of surprise.

    Ma Xingkong pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down and talk."

    "No need, disciple, just stand." Xu Zheng shook his head and looked at him calmly: "Master, my junior sister is better at martial arts than me, so let her be the chief escort!"

    Ma Xingkong chuckled and nodded. This Zheng'er is indeed straight-hearted and has no twists and turns. He is trustworthy.

    He smiled and said: "Chunhua is my daughter's family after all. It's not appropriate to show up in public. It's the same if you ask her to assist you."

    He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I originally planned to let you and Chunhua get married, support each other, and maintain the escort agency"

    Xu Zheng¡¯s face darkened and he lowered his head.

    Ma Xingkong looked at him, shook his head secretly, and sighed: "But Chunhua, this child, disagreesshe always treats you as an elder brother, like a real brother, but not as a husbandwhat a nonsense!"

    Xu Zheng's voice was low: "Master, you don't have to force me. It's because I'm incompetent and I'm not worthy of my sister's love."

    "What are you talking about?!" Ma Xingkong raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "How can my disciple, Ma Xingkong, be incompetent?!"

    Xu Zheng was even more ashamed, lowered his head and said: "Disciple cannot bring glory to master"

    Ma Xingkong sighed in his heart, got up and left the Taishi's chair, walked down the steps, came to him, and looked at him.

    Xu Zheng lowered his head, embarrassed to look at his master.

    Ma Xingkong stretched out his hand, patted his shoulder and said, "Zheng'er, don't be discouraged. You would rather bully the old than the young. You are still young. As long as you practice hard, you can always catch up with Chunhua!"

    Xu Zheng nodded heavily: "Yes, this disciple will definitely practice hard!"

    Ma Xingkong smiled and patted him heavily on the shoulder: "That's right, how can a man lose to a woman?!Hold your head high and chest out!"

    Xu Zheng suddenly tensed up and stood with his head held high and his chest held high, with awe-inspiring aura.

    Ma Xingkong looked him up and down, nodded, showed a satisfied look, and said with a smile: "This time, you will be the escort. If you come back successfully, you will take over as the head escort!"

    "Yes!" Xu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then saw Ma Xingkong's eyes full of encouragement, and nodded heavily.

    Ma Chunhua spent ten days in seclusion in Xiao Yuesheng's courtyard, sitting in a small pavilion in front of the bamboo forest no matter day or night.

    At noon that day, she and Xiao Yuesheng sat cross-legged opposite each other, their bright eyes slightly closed, their breath calm and focused, motionless, like statues.

    Her breathing became slower and slower, and eventually, she only took one breath every ten times that an ordinary person would take.

    Every time I take a breath, two streaks of white air come out in front of my nose, like two white snakes, burrowing towards my feet, almost touching the ground, then retracting and burrowing back into my nostrils.

    Repeatedly, the white snake became thicker and thicker, and finally, with each breath, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.

    She has fallen into a stalemate and has no way of knowing. Xiao Yuesheng knows it, but doesn't think it's strange.

    The breeze came slowly, and she passed through the bamboo forest and got into the small pavilion. The pink robe on her body remained motionless.

    Xiao Yuesheng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ma Chunhua, and nodded.

    Under the stimulation of the medicine, her internal energy improved, and she traveled thousands of miles with each passing day. In just ten days, she almost had the energy of an ordinary person in ten years.

    If it weren¡¯t for her exquisite practice of holding the void, her body would never have been able to withstand it.

    Li Er was busy in those days and brought in a lot of medicinal materials. Almost all of them were refined into these three bottles of pills, which can be said to be the best.

    "Every one of these pills is priceless, enough to cause a bloody storm in the martial arts world.

    "If Ma Chunhua hadn't had some basic skills in Baoxu Jue, it would have been impossible for her to withstand such strong medicine.

    It is difficult for ordinary people to get one, but it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and they are even less fortunate to be able to practice the Baoxu Jue. But Ma Chunhua has both, and her internal strength naturally improves by leaps and bounds, and is extremely profound.

    After a while, Ma Chunhua slowly woke up and opened her bright eyes.

    She looked around, her face full of excitement and surprise. The world in front of her eyes was very different from before. It seemed much clearer and brighter. In the past, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, far less clear and vivid than today.

    Wherever her eyes fell, every place around her seemed to contain endless fun and vitality, and was vaguely mysterious and worthy of exploration.

    "Chunhua, how do you feel?" Xiao Yuesheng asked warmly.

    Ma Chunhua turned her head and said excitedly: "Master, I seem to have become different!"

    "If it's the same, the retreat will be in vain!" Xiao Yuesheng smiled.

    Ma Chunhua fluttered her palm and printed it on the stone table, silently and white jade.The palm of his hand sank.

    She raised her hand, and a palm print was imprinted on the marble table. It was three inches deep, small and delicate, with the same depth around it, and the edges were delicate and without any cracks.

    Xiao Yuesheng looked at the palm prints and nodded: "Well, the palm power is quite pure, which is rare!"

    Although her internal strength is strong now, Chad's internal strength is so deep that it is like a child being given a heavy hammer, and it is inevitable that she will be powerless.

    Fortunately, Ma Chunhua has a good understanding, has made good progress in Baoxu Jue, and has practiced Tianshan plum-breaking skill well enough to be able to do this.

    "Master, how good is my martial arts now?" Ma Chunhua looked at the palm prints proudly and asked with a smile.

    Xiao Yuesheng said calmly: "I'm just trying to be first-rate."

    Ma Chunhua said excitedly: "I can be considered a first-class expert now!"

    Xiao Yuesheng shook his head. Today's martial arts world is really incomparable to the past. Just look at the defeat of Miao Renfeng, the invincible player in the world, and you will know the truth.

    His strength is astonishing, but it is not that he has deep inner strength. Perhaps his swordsmanship is exquisite to be called the best master in the world.

    Xiao Yuesheng waved his hand and said: "Go and see the chief escort. I haven't seen him these days. I must miss him very much."

    "Yes!" Ma Chunhua agreed, floating out as lightly as a butterfly.

    He was watching everyone practicing in the school martial arts field. When he saw Ma Chunhua, he was overjoyed and his face lit up.

    Ma Chunhua came to him, smiled and talked for a while.

    After a while, Ma Chunhua asked doubtfully: "Dad, why don't you see senior brother?"

    Ma Xingkong smiled and said, "He? He's gone with the escort. He's been gone for six or seven days."

    "Escort?" Ma Chunhua asked with a smile, "Is there another business coming to your door?"

    Ma Xingkong nodded and said with a smile: "Our Pegasus Escort Agency's signboard is still of some use."

    "Where can I escort the escort?" Ma Chunhua asked with a smile.

    "Go to the Hexi area." Ma Xingkong said.

    Ma Chunhua frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Hexi? Could it be the road that passes by Qingfeng Village?"

    Ma Xingkong nodded.

    Ma Chunhuaxiu¡¯s expression changed and she hurriedly said: ¡°Dad, how can senior brother cope with the Three Swords of Qingfeng by himself?!¡±

    Ma Xingkong shook his head, sighed, and said: "Zheng'er insists on doing this, so I can only agree. If he doesn't oppose it, Qingfeng Sanjian can only take some money, so it doesn't matter."

    "Senior brother's temper" Ma Chunhua shook her head, disapproving.

    Ma Xingkong said: "Don't worry, I've already told him not to get upset and take over as the chief escort if he can't come back smoothly."

    Ma Chunhua looked at him in surprise and smiled: "Dad, your elbows are turned outwards, why don't you pass them to me?"

    Ma Xingkong glared at her angrily and said, "Your wings have become stiff. Can the little Pegasus Escort Agency tolerate you?!"

    Ma Chunhua pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, I don't care, I want to follow my master, how can I have time to care about the escort agency?!"

    Ma Xingkong shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "You are much better to your master than you are to me, your father!"

    ¡°Daddy is jealous?!¡± Ma Chunhua pursed her lips and chuckled.

    Ma Xingkong glared at her: "Huh, why am I jealous? I'm just lamenting that girls are just outgoing. The saying is absolutely true!"

    He added: "Taoist Master Guanlan is very capable and has a strange temper, so it will be difficult for you."

    Ma Chunhua smiled and said, "Dad was wrong. Master is just straightforward. He gets along better than others."

    While they were talking, suddenly, a young man came over with brisk steps and knelt down in front of Ma Xingkong. He whispered: "Chief escort, something bad has happened. Mr. Xu is back!"

    ¡°Huh¡ª¡ª?!¡± Ma Xingkong frowned and asked in a deep voice.

    The young man is thin but full of strength, like a leopard. His eyes are lively and bright, and even though his voice is deep, he still maintains his composure.

    "Say it!" Ma Xingkong waved his hand.

    The young man whispered: "Boss Xu's head was seriously injured!"

    "Go and ask for the Taoist priest!" Ma Xingkong said in a deep voice, with a calm face, and walked slowly out, his steps calm and unhurried.

    He has seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and has a lot of skills in cultivating qi. Even though his heart is pounding, his face is calm and calm.

    The young man responded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ma Chunhua.

    Ma Chunhua turned her head and said softly: "Dad, I'll go ask Master!"

    As soon as Ma Xingkong nodded, the figure was no longer in sight and disappeared.

    In the hall, there is a circle of people, everyoneHis face was solemn and his eyes were as bright as spitting fire. There were three people lying in the middle, silent.

    As soon as Ma Xingkong stepped into the hall, people, as if they had found a backbone, stepped forward and shouted: "Chief Bodyguard!" "Chief Bodyguard!"

    Ma Xingkong strode forward, waving his hands, and came to the three of them.

    "The Taoist Priest is here!" "The Taoist Priest is here!" People shouted excitedly, and Xiao Yuesheng came dressed in a green Taoist robe.
