"What's the strange thing?" Xue Qing and Situ Ping asked in unison.

"When the four of us reached the top of the mountain with our food and wine, it was morning, and the sun had just risen, and when we reached the foot of the only big pine tree on the top of the mountain, we found that the place had already been occupied. ”

It was an old beggar with a white beard, with a ruddy face and a fairy-like demeanor, lying diagonally on the stone slab under the tree, and the rising sun shone on him like a fairy. The monk squinted his eyes and spoke slowly, as if reminiscing about the past.

"It's just that his clothes are ragged, and he looks like a beggar, and we thought he would be the elder of the beggar gang, but he didn't carry a cloth bag. When the old beggar saw us coming, he asked, "Do you know how to do martial arts?" We all nodded yes, and then he asked again, "Do you have wine and meat?" And he said, Bring me the flesh and wine. I had the wine and meat in my possession, and I listened to him and handed him all the wine and meat, and the old beggar's eyes lit up when he saw the wine, no less than the sun shining on him. ”

The old beggar took our wine and meat, and he was not polite, and he began to eat and drink, and it was strange to say, and the four of us just watched him eat and drink until he had eaten all the wine and meat, and then he wiped his mouth and said, "Good wine and good meat, live up to this life." Then he said to me, "You're good," and said to the other three, "You're good." ”

Then the old beggar took a piece of skin out of his bosom, tore it into four pieces with his bare hands, and threw one of them at us. I took my share, and was about to unfold it, when the old beggar took out a pamphlet from his bosom and threw it away. When he had done this, he lay down on the stone again, closed his eyes, and ignored us. A few of us were confused, opened the skin in our hands, and looked carefully, that is, the ones you are holding in your hands now, but we couldn't figure it out. So, I opened the booklet again, the content of which made me more and more frightened, the more I read, the more excited I became, everyone saw my surprise and knew that they had encountered something good, and when I finished reading, your masters also read it again, and we knew that we had found a treasure. ”

"According to the booklet, this leather is drawn on the treasure map left by a swordsman named Qu Da three hundred years ago, the place where the treasure is hidden is the sour jujube forest in front of us, Qu Da got this treasure map, and found the sword book and medicine here, and then lived in seclusion here to practice swords for more than ten years, before the achievement of a generation of heroes. After Qu Da's martial arts were completed, he didn't take away all the sword scores and medicines, so he stayed here, looking forward to future generations. The booklet also explains how to use the hides and when to enter the treasure area. To tell the truth, at that time, the four of us immediately became enthusiastic, and wanted to find this place to get the treasure immediately, but after looking at the time, we knew that only on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year could we have the opportunity to enter, and we calmed down. ”

Monk Yanming glanced at the darkness and said, "To tell you the truth, we were all dizzy at first when we saw this huge pie that fell on our heads, and when we woke up, it was incredible, but the old beggar was still lying on the stone, and we waited with questions on our stomachs until he woke up." However, we soon found out that the old beggar was not asleep, but was not breathing at all. All four of us checked it up closely, and he was indeed deceased. So after we buried him, we discussed the matter of taking the treasure, but since it was still early on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we first went back to the faction to implement the authenticity of this treasure, and then we also planned the details of the treasure, and agreed on the time and place of the next meeting. ”

"When we meet next time, we all took out the information we collected, it turned out that three hundred years ago, there was a one-armed swordsman on the rivers and lakes, the name is very ordinary, called Qu Da, martial arts, upright, at that time the rivers and lakes often spread about his anti-violence and peace, chivalrous deeds, but no one knew his origin, everyone tried their best to inquire about his teacher and origin, but nothing. This Qu Da never competes with others, because according to him, his sword moves are all killing moves, and he can see blood as soon as he moves, and he can't be used for fighting, and he is not famous, although his martial arts are very high, but everyone has no way to compare him with the top few in the rivers and lakes, but according to the Qingmao Taoist who was the first in martial arts at that time, he looked at Qu Da's swordsmanship and thought that he was not as good as his sword intent that killed people in an instant. ”

However, people who also wanted to be famous pestered Qu Da and asked for a competition, but they were all dodged by Qu Da, until one time, Qu Dazheng encountered a village where the second master of the Demon Dao was washed in blood, and he shot out with righteous indignation and cut it off under the sword, and since then his ears have been quiet, and there is really no one to send him to death again. Yunzhou, where Qu Da lives, is the name of Pingyang City three hundred years ago, and no one dares to do anything wrong in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Actually, what makes us most greedy is not his martial arts, sword spectrum, only Wan Jianfeng's people are really greedy. Yanming said to Ma Xiangyang with a smile. "We found out that this Qu Da actually lived to be one hundred and twenty years old. ”

"Ah~" The six young people who listened to the story all cried out in surprise.

People in the rivers and lakes are not as good as ordinary people, they have lived on the knife all their lives, it is inevitable that there will be internal and external injuries on the body, when they are young, they may be fine, and they will come out to exert their power in their old age, unless they practice profound internal skills, few people live past eighty. So it's a miracle that this Qu Da can live to be one hundred and twenty years old.

At this time, the eyes of several young people also shone brightly, and they were all wondering if they could find longevity-prolonging drugs in the dense forest, in fact, most of them had the same attitude towards cheats, and the martial arts of this sect could not be practiced, so how could they have time to practice the things of other schools? Besides, even if it was the ultimate martial arts, it didn't depend on time and sweat to accumulate? All of you here are not young, and the meridians are all fixed, and it will definitely be half the effort to practice again, how can there be a fool to do such a thing? It's better to get some personal benefits, and to live for 10 more years, that is, to enjoy ten more years, and to practice martial arts for ten more years, isn't it much stronger than any top martial arts. Of course, if there is any supreme swordsmanship, it can be brought back to add bricks and tiles to the sect, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the development of the sect. Thinking about it, it seems that everyone has seen each other's harazi.

Seeing the expressions of these juniors, Yanming smiled and said, "So the four of us continued to discuss the matter of treasure exploration and treasure taking. And according to their respective shili, different people are assigned to search for similar terrain. The sky lives up to its wishes, as early as two months ago, we finally discovered this stone man peak. zuihou, according to our prior discussion, in order not to attract the attention of other sects, several of them are sitting in their own sects, but they only send the second generation of outstanding disciples in their sects to come out, and even the big disciples of the head of the sect and other people who may attract the attention of others are not sent, and I, the owner of the village who has not established a mountain and established a sect, will take the people of each sect to take the treasure. ”

"Of course, you are all reliable candidates in the faction, and you are the confidants of the head of the faction, we have discussed it before coming, if you have any adventures in the treasure land, they will all belong to you. Immediately, everyone's expressions immediately fluttered, and they finally knew that Master Weishenme had sent him, not someone else. Monk Yanming continued, "Now let's talk about the most important thing, the distribution method of the treasures. When everyone heard this, they immediately looked awe-inspiring and listened carefully. "If the treasures can be distributed equally, then distribute them equally, if there is a difference, first distribute what can be distributed equally, and the rest, how do you think it is good?"

Everyone was stunned, very surprised, this Yanming monk is also witty, at this time, he still wants to study the juniors, what a wonderful person, no wonder the masters can let him come alone to lead a group of juniors. Wen Wenhai touched his nose and said: "Layman, the people of the rivers and lakes have their own rules, let's decide with fists and feet." The rest of the group also seconded. Yanming lay man said incomprehensibly: " Several of your masters also said so, at first it was said that it was a sword competition, but except for Wan Jianfeng, everyone else disagreed, and said that the boxing method, except for the Ethereal faction, everyone else did not agree, and the leg method was still the same, so they said that they wanted to compete in three games, three games and two wins, and the point was up, but how could you and I grasp the martial arts competition so haode, and they were worried about the comfort of their disciples, after all, you are all their direct disciples or relatives, alas, the quarrel was very happy, zuihou was given an idea by me, and it was solved in one sentence。 Guess how?"

Everyone looked at each other, staring at each other, unable to guess whether they were alive or dead, Yanming lay next to him and agitated, zuihou, Xue Qing stammered with a red face and said, "Before... Senior, could it be rock-paper-scissors?" Yanming Jushi said in surprise: "Xue Nuxia is exquisite, and she actually guessed it perfectly. Everyone was in an uproar, but only Wen Wenhai had a strange look on his face.

Everyone looked at the emaciated and pedantic senior master in front of them with "reverence", and couldn't help but feel cordial, and muttered in their hearts: "How can people be so surprised than people, their own master has a straight face every day, how can there be such a demeanor." ”

Just when everyone was slandering their master, I saw Yanming Monk glance at the morning glow on the horizon, slapped his forehead, and said, "Quick, go to the edge of the woods, don't miss the hour." ”

After that, run to the edge of the woods.

At this time, the rising sun happened to peek out from the other side of the mountain, and a shadow flashed from the side of the woods, just between the two trees at the edge of the woods, and quickly retreated towards Shiren Peak.
