Sun Yiding smiled apologetically and said, "Great Hall Master, I really couldn't tell. I only know that his Qing Gong is very exquisite. His body can change directions in the air, and his internal energy is very deep. Young Master Zhao is like a hen in his hand, and that Jianghu man is like a little chick.
He didn't say anything, nor did he exchange blows with me. I'm guessing that he's a young disciple from a large sect who came out to gain experience. It's not that he's afraid of others seeing his true face, but that he doesn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so he covered his face. "
Hall Master Zhao nodded and said, "What you said is what I thought. His martial arts are so high, there's no reason for him to be afraid of us. Moreover, for a disciple as young as him to have such martial arts, he must be a disciple from a large sect. Think about it, although our Evil Tiger Gang has many disciples, which young disciple has such cultivation? Even if it's you, you're probably not his opponent."
Sun Yiding said with shame, "Hall Master Zhao's insight is like a torch. That's indeed the case. I didn't dare to go forward to protect Young Master Zhao. However, even if I went forward to fight, if that person didn't want to fight, his Qing Gong is something that I can't compare to."
Hall Master Zhao smiled and said, "You don't need to belittle yourself. Which disciple from a large sect hasn't been carefully nurtured from a young age?
It's just that you and I don't have such conditions. Hmm, looking at the Qing Gong you're talking about, it seems a bit like the Dalin Temple's Crossing the River on a Reed. It also seems a bit like the Righteous Alliance's Cloud Ladder. It also seems a bit like Ye Yu Xiao Xiao of Ba Mountain's Ye Yu Xiao. In short, they're all people that our Evil Tiger Gang can't afford to offend. We … Cough, cough, we still have to investigate more. We can't wrong a good person. "
Sun Yiding understood and said, "Hall Master is wise. I understand."
Hall Master Zhang smiled and said, "That's right, there's also the matter of Xi Cui Mountain. What are those country bumpkins doing these days? Why did they all run to Lu Town? We have to quickly investigate."
Not to mention the discussion between the two from the Evil Tiger Gang, the masked young man grabbed the medicine man's arm like a chick and ran along the roof of a house for a long time. The man heard the sound of the wind and was so scared that his eyes were tightly shut. He didn't dare to move for fear that the young man would throw him down. On the contrary, the monkey's face was full of curiosity. it was in the man's embrace, and it stuck its head out of the man's embrace. It looked around, It looked around, and occasionally it would squeak squeak. After a while, the man stop stop.
After a while, the man heard the sound of the wind stop and his feet touch the ground. He opened his eyes and looked around. It was an empty corner. The man knew that he had escaped with his life, so he immediately lowered his head and kowtowed. Seeing this, the masked young man took a step forward and held the man's arm. It was like an iron clamp. The man used all his strength, but he still couldn't kowtow. The man smiled bitterly and said, "Benefactor, you saved my life. No matter what, you should let me kowtow and thank you. If not, I will feel guilty even in my dreams."
After he finished speaking, he kowtowed again. Sure enough, the young man didn't stop him this time.
After he finished kowtowing, the man said, "I know that benefactor has his own reasons, so I covered my face. I am Qu Zhigao from Dragon Mountain. My family has long since fallen, so benefactor might not know. However, benefactor, please remember my name. In the future, if fate wills it, please come to my home for a chat."
The young man nodded slightly. Then, he took out a pile of things and placed them in front of Qu Zhigao. When Qu Zhigao looked at them, it was a pile of scattered silver, a stack of silver notes, a sweat towel and other odds and ends. These were the things that the young man had taken out from the fat man's arms. When the young man took out the things from the fat man's arms, Qu Zhigao had already stood up from the ground. Of course, he didn't understand the man's intentions. Now that he saw the money in front of him, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He threw himself on the ground again and kowtowed fiercely a few times. The young man wanted to stop him, but it was too late and he could only let him kowtow.
After Qu Zhigao finished kowtowing, he didn't stand on ceremony. He took out a few silver notes and a few ornaments and handed them to the young man. He said respectfully, "Benefactor, I know that you definitely don't lack these things. However, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. This is a large amount of five hundred taels of silver. Keep it well. However, it's best that you don't exchange it in Lu Town. Their eyes are everywhere here. You may not be afraid of causing trouble, but isn't it best if you don't have trouble?
The nearby Maple Leaf Town, Treasure Town, and the slightly further Ping Yang City are all fine too. "
The young man nodded and accepted it.
Seeing the young man accept it, Qu Zhigao was very happy. He handed over the ornaments in his hands and said, "This is a pair of jade bracelets and a few gold hairpins. They are all of good quality. I'm all alone and it's a waste to keep them. I'll send them to the pawnshop sooner or later. Benefactor, why don't you keep them and give them to your senior and junior sisters in the future? They'll be good gifts too."
The young man hesitated for a moment and accepted them. Then, he put them all in his arms.
Qu Zhigao was happy to see that his benefactor was so easy to talk to. He cupped his fists at him and said, "The green mountains will not change and the green rivers will flow forever. Benefactor, please take care of yourself. See you again in the future."
After he finished speaking, he picked a direction and turned to leave. However, just as he turned around, the young man strode forward and pulled him back. Qu Zhigao smiled and said, "Benefactor, do you have any other orders?"
The young man still did not speak and pointed in another direction. Qu Zhigao suddenly understood and turned to walk in another direction. However, after taking two steps, he stopped and turned back to look at the masked young man. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then walked back.
Qu Zhigao walked up to him and said, "Benefactor, you saved my life and gave me money. I am very grateful. I always feel that I owe you too much, but I really have no way to repay you. You are a man of Jianghu, and also a disciple of a famous sect, so you must not lack anything. I am from the Dragon Mountain, and my family has declined early. Now I rely on buying medicinal plasters to make a living. My medicinal plasters are really good, but compared to the things in your sect, they are much inferior. I have a medicine book passed down in my family. I have read it for many years, but I still can't understand it. Perhaps it will be of some use to you, so I hope you will kindly accept it."
After he finished speaking, he took out a small bag wrapped in oilcloth and handed it to the young man. The young man hesitated and was unwilling to take it. Qu Zhigao knew that the young man was unwilling to take what he liked. He smiled and put it in his hands and said, "Benefactor, please take it first. If you can understand it one day, you can teach it to me. Moreover, if you can really understand it, there is a mysterious place in my family. One day, I would like to invite you to Dragon Mountain. Perhaps there will be another opportunity."
Seeing this, the young man nodded and put the small bag into his arms. Qu Zhigao looked at the small bag reluctantly. Finally, he saluted the young man with his fists and walked quickly in the direction pointed out. When he turned the corner, he saw a small city gate of Lu Town. He looked around and did not dare to stay any longer. He followed the crowd and left the city.
When the young man saw Qu Zhigao turn the corner, he also looked around and walked to a corner. He took off his clothes and wrapped it in a bag. He held it in his hands and then took off the cloth on his face, revealing his young and childish face. Wasn't that the adorable Zhang Xiaohua?
Zhang Xiaohua looked around and saw that there was no one around. She put the cloth in her arms and wrapped the clothes into a bag under her arm. She walked along the alley in another direction. After turning a few corners, she saw Zhang Xiaohu leading two jujube-red horses. He looked anxious. When he saw Zhang Xiaohua appear, he quickly looked back and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, why did you take so long?
I thought something happened to you. "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "How could something happen to me?
Let's go. Let's leave the city first. We can talk later. "
After that, the two of them got on their horses and rode out of Lu Town.
When they reached a secluded place, Zhang Xiaohua told Zhang Xiaohu what happened just now. Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said, "You are really cautious. You didn't even say a word?"
Zhang Xiaohua said, "Yes, we must be vigilant. We can't leave any clues for others, even if they are the people we just saved.
However, this Qu Zhigao is really generous. He left most of the things I gave him to me. "
After that, she took out five hundred taels worth of banknotes and a few ornaments. Zhang Xiaohu took them. He first took out four banknotes and kept them in his arms. He then looked at the other ornaments and handed them back to Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua said unhappily, "Second Brother, I put in a lot of effort this time. Why did you take so much?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said, "We have given all the banknotes to Father and Mother. No matter what, we have to keep some for ourselves. As the elder brother, I spend a lot, so I won't stand on ceremony with you. Qu Zhigao is right. We can exchange these banknotes when we reach Ping Yang City. Although these ornaments look good, we can't let Mother and Sister-in-law wear them. If others recognize them, we will be in trouble. We should pawn them in Ping Yang City."
Zhang Xiaohua felt the same and wanted to keep them in his arms. However, when his eyes swept across a pair of jade bracelets and a few golden hairpins in front of him, his eyes were attracted by the jade bracelets. It seemed that there was something inside that attracted his attention. Zhang Xiaohua's mind was stirred and her consciousness swept out. As expected, the jade bracelets had a faint fluctuation of vital Qi. Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed and sent her consciousness into the jade bracelets.
However, the jade bracelets were not like the small stone or the jade pendant previously. They did not have any reaction. When Zhang Xiaohua increased the strength of her consciousness, the jade bracelets had a repulsive force. In an instant, Zhang Xiaohua's consciousness was ejected. Zhang Xiaohua was so surprised that she almost cried out. She thought to herself, "What kind of strange thing is this jade bracelets?"
After Zhang Xiaohua carefully kept the jade bracelets and the golden hairpins in his arms, he took out the medicine book that Qu Zhigao gave him. Looking at the item wrapped in oilcloth, Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly. Actually, he did not want to accept the family heirloom at that time. However, he did not want to talk about it. Hence, he forced her to accept it.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile, "Xiaohua, the price of your help is really high. Not only did you get a lot of money, but you also accepted the family heirloom."
Zhang Xiaohua said with annoyance, "You said that I wanted it, but Qu Zhigao insisted on putting it in my hands. I had no choice but to accept it. Otherwise, I'll give it to you now."
After that, she was about to hand over the small bag.
Zhang Xiaohu quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I don't know many words. Why should I look at it?
Anyway, you can go back and give the herbs to Huanxi Villa. This medicine book may be useful! "
