Although Chang Junzi and Fairy Liu Zhen came through the jade talisman to manifest their dharma body, based on their cultivation of the immortal Taoist fruit, the arrival of the primordial dharma body here is no different from the arrival of the original deity. The three of them walked back to the hut and chatted all night. In the end, Yu He did not go back to Zhongnan Mountain with Chang Junzi and Fairy Liu Zhen to stay for a while, but only promised to visit Zhongnan Mountain again within the year. Chang Junzi was naturally very disappointed, but Fairy Liu Zhen was considerate and finally agreed with Yu He. She saw the morning light on the window paper gradually dyeing, so she pulled Chang Junzi and transformed into two rays of light again, and disappeared into the jade talisman. middle. As soon as the eldest brother and sister-in-law left, Yu He was left alone in the hut. Outside the courtyard, the cockcrow announced the dawn. Yu He stood up and blew out the oil lamp on the table. The room was half dim and seemed a little lonely. Pushing open the door and walking into the courtyard, the morning breeze was slightly cold and everything was quiet, as if the thrilling drama last night was just a ridiculous dream of someone who had just woken up from a deep sleep. Yu He thought for a while, then quietly disappeared, and sneaked along the corridor to the northeast corner of the back courtyard. He climbed over the ten-foot-high courtyard wall, got into the tea room of Shunping Restaurant, and transformed into a miscellaneous person. He looked like a little Yuzi, lying on the pile of firewood and sleeping soundly. Early the next morning, when a fire was lit in the kitchen, Xiao Du and Liu Shunzi went to the woodshed to collect dry firewood. As a result, they yelled and carried Yu He out. When Xiao Du was carrying Yu He out of the firewood shed, he secretly tried it with his own real energy. He found that Xiao Yuzi's life was not in danger and that no one from the Taoist sect had tampered with him, so Senior Brother Banshan felt at ease. Silent. When shopkeeper Lao Kang arrived after hearing the news, he rolled his eyes, opened his mouth, grabbed Yu He's wrist and examined her carefully for a long time. He found that Yu He seemed to have been knocked down by smoke, and then someone tapped his sleep acupoint. Unconscious. Not long after, Nianniang from Yinchunyuan next door came over. She only took one look and concluded that it was the master from the Tang Sect in Sichuan who used his own secret medicine to restrain Xiao Yuzi. She took out a small yellow wooden bottle, uncorked it and shook it under Yu He's nose, then poured a bowl of cold water down, and Yu He screamed and opened his eyes. Shopkeeper Lao Kang took Yu He to the back room and asked him carefully. But Yu He scratched his head and said that he didn't know anything. The night before yesterday, he was serving a table of people drinking with Zheng Tiejiang in the lobby. When the banquet was about to end, Zheng Tiejiang rewarded him with a small bottle of residual wine, and he happily drank in it. I went into the back kitchen to drink. After a few sips, I felt the wine was overpowering me. When I opened my eyes again, I realized that I had just been splashed with cold water. Yu He said that he was drunk to death for two days without knowing what happened, and he didn¡¯t know where he spent the night before, let alone who threw him into the woodshed last night. Shopkeeper Lao Kang wandered around the woodshed and dungeon for a while, but still couldn't find any clues. It was as if the little Yuzi had fallen into the firewood pile out of thin air. The night before yesterday, Xiao Yuzi, three Tang Sect masters and seven wild men disappeared mysteriously at the same time. But early this morning, Xiao Yuzi appeared out of nowhere, but the Tang Sect masters and those wild men were still missing. Shopkeeper Lao Kang thought that this matter was probably inseparable from the Taoist immortal master who appeared last night. This method of bringing a few living people and coming and going without a trace was definitely not an ordinary martial arts method. A master can do it. But since Xiao Yuzi was thrown back, it means that this drunken young man should not be a troublesome person. The Taoist Immortal Master found out that he was a handyman in Shunping Building, so he just let him go. Throw it back. There are really a lot of confusing things these days. Since he can't find out, shopkeeper Lao Kang simply doesn't worry about it. The two young men, one in a green robe and the other in a white robe, both left without saying goodbye at night. Now it is a big matter to serve Uncle Sima and the fourth lady in the south jingshe, as well as the four military masters and a group of red beards. Wealthy businessmen also have to be carefully looked after. In the heart of shopkeeper Lao Kang, he wished that Luo Huanyu would quickly hand over the things he brought to the hands of the secret envoy of the Chihu Kingdom. This storm that has disturbed people, chickens and dogs will be over as soon as possible, and the old streets of Shuocheng will be able to May we return to peace and tranquility as soon as possible. Although the Sima family has to give face, no one among the old neighbors who have been getting along day and night for many years wants to fight and kill each other. One morning passed, the front hall and back yard of Shun Ping Restaurant were peaceful. As usual, not many people came to eat and drink before noon. Liu Shunzi and Xiao Yuzi pushed a wooden cart and bought steamed buns with green onions and meat fillings at the gate of Shunping Building; the red lacquered gate of Yinchunyuan Closed tightly, the girls are still dreaming about spring and autumn dreams with the guest officer. They will not get up and dress up until after the hour, open the door and sprinkle incense to welcome guests; there is no fire in the blacksmith shop across the street, and there is no fire in the blacksmith shop across the street. If you used hammers to strike iron, you would definitely make Nianniang come out and scold you. Master Zheng and his apprentices set up a wooden shelf, waiting for people to pick up the finished swords, horseshoes, etc.; He Erniang's North and South Pharmacy He and Wang Changping's tailor shop opened early, but there were not many customers coming in and out, and the clerks were very busy; only Lao Wutou on the street had a prosperous business, and he had been busy all morning.After finishing the load of noodles, the soup pot on the clay stove was almost empty. The old man counted the coins in his pocket, grinning from ear to ear. In the back kitchen, the sound of Xiao Du chopping meat and pounding garlic was loud and slow, and the fragrance made people salivate; shopkeeper Lao Kang personally sent white porridge and side dishes to the remaining three groups of residents in the back courtyard; Six Shunzi and Yu He sold three drawers full of big buns and pushed the wooden cart through the side door. The two of them brought out a wooden plate from the back kitchen, with vegetables and beef piled on it like a hill. The two of them squatted by the door, wrapping the vegetables in white flour pancakes, and ate happily. It¡¯s almost the end of the day, and in a little while, it will be the busiest time of the day in Shun Ping Building. As soon as noon arrived, two tables of guests came to the restaurant. Most of the people who came to have lunch so early were locals from Shuocheng. However, when these two tables of guests entered the restaurant, before their stools were warm, they immediately stood up timidly. He bowed towards the door and saluted. A simple gray-covered carriage stopped outside the gate of Shunping Restaurant. As soon as the coachman pulled the reins, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and an old man wearing a Yuebai officer's coat walked out of the carriage. Look at this old man, he is really strong and full of energy. His white hair is no more than an inch long, and is combed and neatly combed. His thick eyebrows, as thick as thumbs, are half majestic and half evil. Don't be angry and proud when you look at it. The old man raised his hands and feet with the air of a martial arts practitioner. He walked like a dragon and a tiger, and his robes were fluttering. He did not look like a man in his seventies at all. The rhythm of his breathing was deep and long, and the strength of his whole body was invisible. Every time he stepped on it, the sound of footsteps could make people's hearts tremble. In the eyes of those with a discerning eye, this old man has already practiced his internal and external kung fu to an extremely advanced level. He has glimpsed the truth of heaven and earth for the first time. He is only half a step away from breaking through the immortal entrance to Taoism through martial arts. Shopkeeper Lao Kang shivered when he saw the old man in white robe walking into the lobby. He sighed secretly in his heart, put down the copper abacus in his hand, walked up to him in two steps, clasped his fists and saluted, "Kang Min has seen the old man!" The old man didn't turn his eyes, only snorted lowly. , considered as an answer. He did not stop to talk to shopkeeper Lao Kang, but strode straight through the front hall of the restaurant and walked towards the back courtyard of Shunping Building. Shopkeeper Lao Kang grinned secretly, lowered his head and followed behind. When Liu Shunzi saw the old man coming, he stuck out his tongue and shrank aside without saying a word. Yu He rolled his eyes and laughed secretly in his heart: "Well, the second and third sons of the Sima family are also risking their lives. How is this last card played? Now the drama has been completely messed up. South The two people in the child's room were very proud last night, and now they have come to retribution. This time they have provoked all the old evil stars of your Sima family." By the way, this old man with extraordinary momentum is definitely someone else. He is the master of Shuocheng, the head of the contemporary Sima family, and the leader of the northwest martial arts world. In the past, he was nicknamed "Fists can control the wind and sand, the hero of Liangzhou". Now that an order is given, no knight in the northwest dares to disobey Sima Wen. Mr. Chi. This old gentleman is a top figure in the martial arts world in Liangzhou and even in the entire northwest. After decades of running Shuocheng, a small frontier fortress station has been built into a pearl shining on the edge of the desert. When the old man was young, he led a group of knights from the northwest to fight against the Chihu bandits countless times. One man killed dozens of Chihu's famous warriors with two fists. His majesty shocked the desert, saved the people from fire and water, and also saved his own life. Fight for a great name. Nowadays, as long as "Old Knight Sima Wenchi" is mentioned, everyone will give a thumbs up and cheer, whether he is a general of the Northwestern Army of Dayong or a martial arts hero who travels across the border fortress. Mr. Sima Wenchi is a living legend. He is the dream and role model of countless people. It's a pity that he is like many heroes who single-handedly conquered a huge country. When he was high-spirited, he could talk and laugh in front of a large group of red-hued gangsters, but when he grew old, he was worried about his descendants all day long. . The busy people in the back courtyard were all confidant guards that Sima Sheng had drawn from home. When every one of them saw old Mr. Sima Wenchi walking by, their expressions changed drastically. They dropped their belongings and bent down in panic. salute. As the old gentleman walked along, every time he met a Sima family guard, the anger on his face became a little more angry. After walking through the many corridors of the back courtyard with ease, Mr. Sima Wenchi walked to the monastery in the south. Sima Sheng and Sima Yan had already received the news. They stood in front of the monastery with their heads lowered, waiting to bear the pain. Father's raging rage. Sima Wenchi stood still three feet in front of Sima Sheng and Sima Yan. He stared at his eldest son and youngest daughter, the anger in his eyes almost bursting out of his eyes. The muscles on the old man's cheeks were constantly twitching, his thin and rough hands were clenched into fists, and there were bulging veins on the backs of his hands. Even the frontier fortress endsThe incessant strong wind stopped appropriately, and the surroundings of the monastery were completely silent. The people nearby did not even dare to take a breath. After about a stick of incense, Mr. Sima Wenchi suddenly waved his hand and ordered in a cold voice: "Everyone who is not named Sima, go away." When shopkeeper Lao Kang and the guards of the Sima family heard this, they felt as if they were receiving a general amnesty. These people hurriedly started their Qinggong movements and quickly disappeared into the back courtyard. They all knew clearly: What should be known about the private affairs of the Sima family, Mr. Wen Chi, an upright-tempered man, would never intentionally hide it; what should not be known, if heard, would be like sticking it on their backs. Got a reminder. After all the other people had gone away, the old man seemed extremely angry and relieved. He sighed deeply, flicked his wrists, unclenched his fists, and asked in a deep voice: "You two know about Chen'er. "What?" Sima Sheng and Sima Yan thought that their father would be scolded, but they didn't expect that when the old man opened his mouth, he asked about Sima Chen, and his tone was very strange. The boss, Sima Sheng, was hesitant about how to answer the conversation. The fourth young lady next to him, Sima Yan, only thought for a moment before replying: "Second brother and third brother were here last night, and we met." "Give details. Half a word. No omissions are allowed, no half-words are allowed to be false!" The old man stared at his youngest daughter Sima Yan with piercing eyes, which made Sima Yan's eyes hurt and her whole body trembled. Sima Yan gritted her teeth. She had been completely intimidated by her father's aura. Her usually bright speech became a little stammering. The whole journey was told exactly as it was. Mr. Sima Wenchi listened very carefully, especially about the situation of Du Banshan's appearance. He interrupted Sima Yan's narration several times and repeatedly questioned him in detail. When Sima Yan finished speaking, he remained silent for a while, and then suddenly stopped. Beating his chest, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Retribution, this is the retribution for my Sima Wenchi's evil deeds!" The old father suddenly let out such a sad sigh, which puzzled Sima Sheng and Sima Yan. Sima Yan asked cautiously: "What's wrong with second brother?" Mr. Sima Wenchi shook his head and sighed. Seeing two turbid old tears rolling back and forth in his eyes, he took a deep breath, and he seemed to have suddenly aged. At the age of ten, the wrinkles on his face have become a little deeper, and his eyes have gradually lost their luster. The majestic aura has disappeared, his back has stooped, and he has turned into the appearance of an ordinary old man. The old man put his hands on his knees and slowly sat on the stone pillar next to him. "Last night, Chen'er's spiritual roots were pulled out with heavy techniques. Now he is a useless person. He doesn't even have the strength to get out of bed and get dressed. Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid that he still has ten years left in his life. Live, it¡¯s really a crime, a crime!¡± ¡°What? The second brother¡¯s spiritual root is gone?¡± Sima Yan¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief, and he screamed, ¡°This is impossible!¡± Even the boss Sima Sheng was shocked. Mouth from ear to ear. Although the second eldest Sima Chen has practiced the outer sect of Qi refining of Zhongnan Immortal Sect, he has become domineering at home. He insists that he is no longer a person in the world, but he always likes to make things difficult for others. He must be begged and worshiped by others, just like a Buddha at home. Sima Sheng has always had some prejudices against this second brother who "cultivates Taoism", but now that he heard that Sima Chen had his spiritual roots pulled out and became a complete useless person, and only had ten years left to live, the two of them After all, they were blood relatives, and Sima Sheng couldn't help but feel sad. "What's impossible!" Old Mr. Sima Wenchi shook his head, "It's become like this now. The old woman was so anxious that she fainted twice. I sent an urgent message this morning to ask the senior official of Zhongnan Immortal Sect. Man, not only did they not receive any reply, they also acted from a distance and shattered my communication jade talisman. It seemed that they were going to cut off all contact with our Sima family from now on. I really don¡¯t know what Chen¡¯er did to offend Zhong Nanxian. The master of the sect was actually treated like this. In order to get him to become a disciple of the Zhongnan Immortal Sect, the old woman and I not only spent all our treasures, but also gave up six years of life and a mouthful of natal innate wisdom. "Qi, I thought that Chen'er would finally become a cultivator, but it turned out to be nothing. This is my Sima Wenchi's retribution!" Sima Yan's face turned pale, and she didn't dare to speak. Quietly holding Du Banshan's jade messenger, the fourth lady thought in her mind: "Senior Brother Banshan, you can scare away my second brother. Why do you want to do this? Impossible. With the temperament of Senior Brother Banshan, there is no way he would do this." If something like this happened, it would be even more impossible to shatter the Zhongnan Immortal Sect¡¯s Jade Talisman in his father¡¯s hand! This may not have been done by Senior Brother Banshan, but who could it be?¡± Then thinking about his old and frail mother who was worried at home, Sima Yan¡¯s nose With a twitch, tears couldn't stop falling. "Junior sister, if the matter has reached this point, if senior brother can't hide anymore, he won't be able to explain it." Du Banshan's voice suddenly sounded beside Sima Yan.He stood up and said, "Don't hide it anymore. You are just a cultivator. If one person is missing from your family, just give him one back. Why should you be so sad?" "Who are you?" Mr. Sima Wenchi raised his head suddenly. He glared angrily at Du Banshan, who appeared next to Sima Yan. "Hero Sima, I am Du Banshan of Taiyi Hall of Kunlun Xianzong. I am also the deacon of Liangzhou Prefecture's Consecrated Pavilion overseeing Shuocheng. I am also a fellow disciple of Sima Yan, my true disciple of Taiyi Hall of Kunlun Xianzong."
