Chapter 27
……

Zhongnanshan, since Xiaoyaozi passed away, Huolong Daoist has become more energetic and no longer lethargic. He teaches Lu Fengqiu to practice martial arts every day.

Half a year later, it was midsummer, the sun was scorching, and the sun was like fire.

Outside Yuquan, under the mottled shadows of the trees, Huolong Daoist and Lu Fengqiu sat opposite each other, listening to the cicadas, and sat quietly for a long time.

Huolong Daoist asked: "Disciple, how long have you been in Zhongnan Mountain?"

Lu Fengqiu made some calculations, and immediately replied: "Reporting to Master, this disciple has been in Zhongnan Mountain for six years, and has been worshiping under Master's door for five years."

Daoist Huolong nodded slightly, and said: "In the past five years, you have worked hard day and night, and you have learned the "Zhixuan Jing" and "Yilongtu" almost inseparably. Absolutely practice to great success."

Lu Fengqiu nodded and said: "I will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to the expectations of my master."

Daoist Huolong raised his hand casually, and something appeared in his palm, placed it on the stone table, and said, "Do you know what this is?"

Lu Fengqiu looked at the jade ruyi handle on the stone table, puzzled, and said, "I don't know."

Master Huolong shook his head and sighed, "This is a relic left by your brother Xiaoyaozi."

"Your senior brother, Xiaoyaozi, was born in the emperor's family and experienced great changes. If he hadn't rescued him for his teacher, he would have died at the hands of others. He has experienced too many ups and downs in his life, and he can't let go of the old things. It's also within reason."

"The general trend of the world has never been moved by one person's power, but it is guided by the situation and followed by the destiny. Your brother spent the rest of his life planning the world, trying to avenge and rebuild the motherland with his own power, but in the end it was a flower in the mirror. The moon in the water, you can't ask for it."

"In the past few decades, no matter whether it is in the Jianghu martial arts, or various disputes among countries, they have been inseparable from your senior brother Xiaoyaozi, both openly and secretly. Since you have accepted a favor from your senior brother Xiaoyaozi, go and give it to me. Your senior brother, Xiaoyaozi, put an end to this behind-the-scenes matter."

Lu Fengqiu said: "Master, what do you mean, let me go down the mountain?"

Master Huolong nodded and said: "That's right, you don't know the years in the mountains, and it may not be a good thing to practice hard. You are still young, and walking around will also help you achieve success in your Taoism."

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu couldn't help but wondered, "I just don't know what Master wants me to do for Senior Brother."

Master Huolong opened his mouth slowly, talking to Lu Fengqiu in detail.

Lu Fengqiu listened to the old events one after another, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart, it turned out that senior brother Xiaoyaozi had done so many great things.

"Your senior brother once said that the country would be ruined and the people would perish, so he didn't dare to sleep too much, so he refused to practice the "Sleeping Immortal Art". Otherwise, with his talent, how could he die at the end of his life? Later, he and his son had two daughters, and they taught them with them since they were young. They were full of hatred for the country and the family, and the children they taught became tools and pawns for his revenge."

"When he was dying, he was too regretful, and the only thing he talked about was these two daughters. This jade wishful is his relic. After you go down the mountain, go find his two daughters, and take this jade wishful. Handing over his two daughters can be regarded as the end of his last obsession."

Lu Fengqiu put the jade ruyi in his sleeve, and said: "I have written it down."

Master Huolong nodded with a smile, stood up and said: "Life seems to be an illusion, and it will eventually return to nothing. People in my generation stick to their own way, seek longevity, and ask for longevity. This is the right thing to do."

"Mundane affairs are disturbing, Fengqiu must not be like your senior brother Xiaoyaozi, who tried hard to get nothing, and finally regretted it too much, harming others and himself."

Lu Fengqiu nodded and said: "What the master said, I will definitely keep it in my heart."

Daoist Huolong floated away, like a banished immortal in this world, he said loudly: "I'm going."

Lu Fengqiu couldn't help shouting: "Master, where are you going?"

Daoist Huolong laughed and said, "Mountains beyond mountains, buildings beyond buildings, and sky beyond sky."

Huolong Daoist drifted away, making Lu Fengqiu feel lost, five years together day and night, following Huolong Daoist around, but now it seems like a dream.

After waking up from the dream, although Lu Fengqiu was reluctant to give up, he had no choice but to pack up and prepare to leave Zhongnan Mountain.

……

On this day, Lu Fengqiu took over Yuquan Temple, and took Xiaohua down towards Zhongnan Mountain, passing by old man Lin's house. Old man Lin insisted on pulling Lu Fengqiu, asking him to be a guest at home.

Lu Fengqiu didn't refuse too much. Old man Lin knows how to repay his kindness and is a good person. In the past few years, he has sent him some vegetables, fruits and food, rain or shine, and has always regarded him as a great benefactor of the whole family.

Old Man Lin's house hasn't changed much, it's exactly the same as when Lu Fengqiu came five years ago.

If there were to be changes, there would be some changes, that is, the child who was taken away by Erniang Ye had grown into a fat man with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain.

Lu Fengqiu asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

The little fat man said in a serious manner: "My name is Hutou."

Lu Fengqiu was happy, and said: "I said big name, not small name."

The little fat man looked at old man Lin and asked, "Grandpa, grandpa, what's your name?"

The old man Lin smiled helplessly, and said to Lu Fengqiu, "Daoist Lu, the country people don't know much about it, they have a big or small name, just call it Tiger Head."

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu looked at the little fat man with a tiger head, and pondered: "This child is destined to be with me, so I will give him a good name."

Old man Lin couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Daozhang Lu is an expert of the immortal family. My tiger head can be named by Taoist Lu. It's a blessing from several lifetimes of cultivation."

Lu Fengqiu shook his head and said, "Choose a name, it's easy."

As he spoke, he paced in the courtyard, resting his chin in thought for a moment, and said, "If you have, how about calling him Lin Jian?"

Old man Lin smiled with tears, and was about to drag his grandson to kowtow to Lu Fengqiu.

"Lu Daochang's name is naturally good. My grandson will be called Lin Jian in the future."

Lu Fengqiu looked at the tiger's head and said: "I can't accept this child's worship in vain, so I will give you some benefits."

At this moment, old man Lin's son came back from hunting outside, with a long gun on his shoulder and two wild rabbits in his hands.

Lu Fengqiu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I'll teach you how to shoot a spear."

Old man Lin tried to get Hutou to kowtow to his teacher, but Lu Fengqiu was determined not to let him.

With his current martial arts attainments, it is not difficult to temporarily create a spear technique.

After staying at the old man Lin's house for two days, after handing over all the marksmanship to the Lin family father and son, Lu Fengqiu took Xiao Hua down the mountain.

……

Not long after leaving Zhongnan Mountain, I passed a small town and was eating steamed buns at a roadside steamed stuffed bun stall. I saw a group of seven or eight-year-old children running around a woman with disheveled hair on the street. What to shout "Crazy woman, crazy woman, don't be ashamed, don't be shy, call everyone a baby."

Lu Fengqiu looked at the woman with disheveled hair while eating steamed stuffed buns, and always felt familiar.

The boss who sold the buns at the side said with a wink: "The guest officer is a kind-hearted person, but please don't meddle in such nosy matters. Since that woman came to this town two years ago, she has always hugged other people's children." It was kissing and touching at the same time. Later, they were taught a lesson by the parents of other children, and they still refused to mend their ways and could not be driven away. In the end, the people in the town had to avoid them and hide like a plague god. Sensible, if this crazy woman goes crazy, no one will be able to stop her."

When Lu Fengqiu heard this, his heart moved. He took two buns and walked forward.

Walking up to the woman with disheveled hair, she drove away the half-grown children, and handed over the buns in her hand.

"Eat."

Lu Fengqiu said.

The woman was dirty all over, and her clothes were torn in many places, she snatched the bun as soon as she stretched out her hand, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

And Lu Fengqiu couldn't help sighing slightly when he saw her exposed face.

"I never imagined that Ye Erniang, who did all kinds of crimes, would be reduced to such a state."

The woman whom the children call the crazy woman is none other than Ye Erniang.

It's just that Ye Erniang's eyes are empty and lifeless, and her face is extremely dull.

Just when Lu Fengqiu was about to leave, Erniang Ye suddenly seemed to go crazy, and rushed towards Lu Fengqiu directly.

"You stole my child, you stole my child, you give me back the child! You give me back the child!"

Lu Fengqiu sideways dodged, but Erniang Ye was relentless.

Lu Fengqiu raised his hand and pointed, and Ye Erniang fell to the ground. Seeing that she was unconscious, Lu Fengqiu took her to a secluded place, took out the silver needles, and put needles on her head.

This one-handed acupuncture technique was learned from his brother Xiaoyaozi.

After a long time, Lu Fengqiu took the needle, and Erniang Ye slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Lu Fengqiu's face clearly, her eyes widened and her expression became angry.

Lu Fengqiu touched her acupuncture points, making her unable to move, and said slowly: "I said five years ago, if you bump into my hand again, I will kill you. What last words do you have?"

Erniang Ye squeaked for a while, before she said with tears in her eyes: "I know that I have sinned deeply, and there is no redemption for a hundred deaths. I have nothing else to ask, but I just want to know where my son is now, and how he is doing well." Well, if I can see my son again, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu thought a little bit, calculated the time, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll let you die to understand."

Erniang Ye couldn't help crying with gratitude when she heard that, she was overjoyed.
