Dongfang Ying couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard her master's sincere words. She also understood that her master was old after all. Even if she had profound skills and didn't look old, she would not be able to stay with her for the rest of her life.
She nodded and said softly:
"Master, don't worry, Ying'er will try hard to take every step. You don't have to worry about me, just come back." Go to Qiongzhou to chant sutras, listen to the tides and watch the sea, and just be an expert in the world."
Master Rou stretched out his index finger and scratched her high nose, and said with a smile: < /p>
"With a little devil like you out there, it's hard for Master to settle down and be an idle man who doesn't care about worldly affairs!
"I have to rush to Jinling Qixia Temple ahead of you. , is waiting for you there. Don’t wait on the road and let Master wait for too long. "
"Ah, Master, are you going too? "
Dongfang Ying was greatly surprised and asked in confusion:
"Since the master has to go out into the world and travel across the rivers and lakes, why don't you take your disciple with you and let's go hand in hand? Okay, wouldn't it be better if Ying'er can always listen to Master's teachings and avoid many detours? "
Master Yirou let go of her apprentice's little hand, walked slowly on the rock for a few steps, looked at the mountains covered with light in the morning light, and the green waves in the gentle morning breeze, and said quietly:
"Master is old, how far can he go with you? It’s time to let go and let yourself go on your own.
"I have taught you all my skills. What you lack is experience in dealing with people and facing enemies in battle. You need to experience and understand these by yourself.
"Just like this lush, tenacious and towering tree in front of us, if it had been growing in the courtyard or in the pot, how could it be where it is today! "
Hearing the earnest expectations and a touch of loneliness in Master's words, Dongfang Ying felt a little pity, stepped forward and gently hugged Master's waist, leaned his face against her back, and shouted softly:
"Master, you are so kind!
Master Yirou turned around and said with a smile:
"But you are really not a bad little thing. In just half a month, you have already broken out."
"Wherever you go now, the name of White Horse and Red Scarf is resounding among the people and the martial arts world. Even the government is shocked. Master is like thunder along the way, and he is here for you." I'm so proud!"
Dongfang Ying said with some embarrassment:
"Master, please don't put a high hat on me. Those false reputations were all gained by mistake. I don’t know why the name White Horse Red Scarf came out, and my disciple didn’t know what it meant at first,
“Later, after hearing more about it, I just followed the trend! "
Master Yirou nodded and said:
"That's right, everything in the world should follow the trend.But we should not go against nature. < /p>
"My good disciple, follow your true intention and go ahead and do it. Master is looking forward to your eventual success in becoming a heroine and attaining righteousness. "
Dongfang Yingxing's eyes were full of perseverance, and she said solemnly:
"Disciple will live up to Master's teachings, and I will definitely let you witness that moment. . "
Master Yirou took her arm away, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Okay, it's almost dawn, you go back, don't let it go Your friends know that Master has been here.
"You are their backbone and leader. They cannot let them see you looking like a child and losing your due majesty. Do you understand?"
Dongfang Ying He chuckled and said:
"It turns out that Master also knows that I have brought a large group of men and women, Yingying Yanyan. If it weren't for them, Ying'er wouldn't have to walk so slowly!
"It seems that the master has no objection to the disciple taking them... Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask the master about something, and I hope the master can give me clear instructions. "
Master Yirou said in an understatement:
"Do you want them to practice the martial arts that Master taught you?
"Master has said that Chinese martial arts is a way for people to strengthen their bodies. If it is widely used, it will benefit the country and the people. There should be no sectarian opinions and secrets.
" What's more, the martial arts taught by your master do not belong to any sect or sect. They are all derived from the strengths of hundreds of schools.
"If anyone is willing to learn from you, then teach it with all your heart. Master is happy to see success."
Dongfang Ying said happily:
" Then Ying'er would like to thank the master for his support!
"But it's not just about teaching them martial arts. Now that I have two children, I want to officially become my disciple. This is related to the inheritance of the master. Seniority relationship,
"That’s why I don’t dare to make decisions on my own. I have to ask the master to make a decision."
Master Yirou pondered for a while and said calmly:
< p> "Although you are a little younger now, your cultivation is the best among all the sisters."There is no priority in learning, the master is the teacher, and the same is true for martial arts. Now that you have reached the level, you can take on apprentices and teach them.
"But remember, you cannot accept evil people, people from the government, or foreign barbarians."
Dongfang Ying quickly agreed, keeping in mind the master's instructions.
Suddenly I remembered something and asked my master if he had seen an old monk when he was rescuing me in Meihua Ridge. He seemed to be Chen Tiexiong’s master.I don’t know how they disappeared later.
Master Yirou told his disciple that the old monk was Master Jingxin from Southern Shaolin. He had met him several times and was indeed Chen Tiexiong's mentor.
At that time, Master Rou was too concerned about Master Jingxin’s face and did not take Chen Tiexiong’s life. Instead, the Master took him back and dealt with it personally. Later, when he was about to revive Dongfang Ying, he saw her The two friends had already arrived, and Master Yirou quietly disappeared.
After saying that, Master Rou held the rosary in his left hand and waved his right hand lightly and said:
"Okay, go ahead and don't let your friends find out that you are here to see Master. . ”
Dongfang Ying knew that her master lived in seclusion in Hainan and rarely saw outsiders or interfered with the affairs of the world. This time, she was simply worried that she was new to the world, so she made an exception and followed him secretly for protection.
He had no choice but to bow to his master again, turned around, climbed up the branches, and flew away.
At this time, the glow has already appeared in the east, and the early birds have left the branches to look for food. The only sounds in the empty valley are the sound of wind and birdsong.
Since Dongfang Ying was extremely skilled in the art of lightening her body, she quietly returned to the roadside where the carriage was parked, without disturbing the sleeping people. It was not until the sun rose and pedestrians began to appear on the road that everyone relaxed. wake up.
After simply drinking some clean water and eating some dry food, everyone continued on their way, descending to the Bachiling Mountain Road and heading east. Nothing unusual happened. They arrived at the south bank of Jinjiang River before noon. Shunji Bridge crosses the river and goes straight into Quanzhou Fucheng.

This was the most prosperous place that everyone had passed through after leaving Xiamen City. Of course, they couldn't help but feel excited. They found a famous local restaurant and had a delicious meal, and everyone bought a lot of food. We were short of clothes and supplies and was delayed for an hour or two.
Dongfang Ying thought about being recognized by the villagers in Jingyuan Village. Now that she was famous and tied to the Red Flag Society, it would be inconvenient if she still dressed up as before.
Although I am not afraid of officers and soldiers or fast-moving government officials, it will always delay my schedule, so it is better to keep a low profile for the time being.
And I have to admit that the looks of myself and my sisters are so stunning that even if there are no official agents to harass them, they will attract the attention and covetation of all kinds of unscrupulous people. It is always a problem for flies to fly around. Annoying things.
So she bought a lot of men's clothing, planning to have all her sisters, including herself, dress up in men's clothing so that they could travel well and avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.
After leaving the east gate and passing the East Lake, not long after everyone arrived at the foot of a hill, Dongfang Ying saw that it was quiet and remote, with lush vegetation and few pedestrians, so she asked everyone to stop and asked the girls to put on their clothes. Men's.
The girls had just bought some new clothes, and before they had a chance to dress up, they had to change into boring and ugly men's clothes, so they were not willing to do so.
However, after Dongfang Ying talked a lot, listed the pros and cons, and finally took the lead in changing into a set of coarse cloth men's clothes, the women reluctantly agreed.
Nangong Huiyue, Wu Xiahe, Qi Donghua and others changed in the carriage. Lu Qiuying, Guo Yunli, Mingchuan Rongmei, Xiaoyun Xiaoxia and others went into the woods to change. Dongfang Ying, Zhan Ruilong and Lin Xiaofeng Then give the ladies a lookout.
Guo Yunshan helped Shi Dajiang sit on a rock and chatted wordlessly.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the road ahead. Dongfang Ying, riding on a white horse, turned around to look.
She saw a large group of monks wearing orange robes walking slowly. They came, holding long sticks in their hands, with solemn expressions, looking at themselves eagerly.
Dongfang Ying frowned, feeling that this group of monks were coming with bad intentions, so she immediately drove her horse forward, stopped two feet in front of the carriage, and said in a loud voice:
"Masters, please stop. , if there is any inconvenience here, please don’t get close.”
The group of monks stopped in the middle of the road, holding a stick in their right hand and thrusting it under their feet. The stick dug into the ground, stirring up patches of dust.
The monks raised their left palms and chanted the name of the Buddha, and there was a sound of "Amitabha".
Zhan Ruilong, Lin Xiaofeng, Shi Dajiang and others were also startled. They hurriedly stood behind Dongfang Ying and looked at the group of monks nervously.
Dongfang Ying was about to ask what these monks were doing, when a few more horseshoes sounded from behind, and at the same time she heard an old voice saying:
"The female donor is white and red. "A scarf?"
Dongfang Ying was secretly surprised. She had already changed into men's clothes, so how could anyone still recognize her? But then he burst into laughter. His hairstyle and mount did not change. What was the use of just changing his clothes?
What's more, the other party seems to have been eyeing our group for a long time. If we wait here, no matter how good the disguise is, we can't escape the other party's ears.
She calmly turned the horse's head and looked towards the way she came. She saw two horses coming leisurely. An old monk with a white beard was sitting on the horse in front of him, and the person sitting on the horse behind him was... Dongfang Ying was shocked and angry.
It turned out that the man behind was Chen Tiexiong, who had escaped with his life on Meihua Ridge. Although he wore an eyepatch slanting on his face to block one of his blinded eyes, the dark, fat man The swollen face still made the heroine recognize him at a glance.
Since this guy is among them, he can no longer hide his identity, and there is no need to hide it. If he still refuses to change his nature and his evil intentions, then he will be killed here.
At that moment, Dongfang Ying suppressed her displeasure and said calmly:
"Yes, I am the white horse with the red scarf. May I ask the old Zen master for any advice?"
After all, my master is also a Buddhist, so for the old Zen sect, I stillDon't be too rude.
The old Zen master reined in the horse, clasped his palms together, recited Amitabha, stared at Dongfang Ying with bright eyes and said:
"You are indeed a rising star in the world. She has extraordinary magnanimity and the spirit of a heroine.
"But why do you kill innocent people without distinction between good and evil? Aren't you afraid of damaging your hard-won good reputation with White Horse and Red Scarf?" "
Dongfang Ying was slightly startled. She had always done her best to eliminate evil and was never merciful, but she only targeted evildoers, soldiers and bandits who preyed on the common people. How could she "kill innocent people indiscriminately without distinguishing between good and evil" "?
This old monk must have been instigated by Chen Tiexiong. He immediately gave Chen Tiexiong a hard look and said coldly:
"Old Zen Master, I have always said something serious. He only kills bad people and never kills good people indiscriminately, but he cannot bear the accusation of the old Zen Master.
"Is this Chen Tiexiong stirring up trouble in front of you? The good things he did on Meihua Ridge were witnessed by your Master Jingxin. You can find out what kind of character this guy is like by asking Master Jingxin. "
Unexpectedly, Chen Tiexiong pointed at Dongfang Ying and shouted:
"You are such a witch, you have gone too far! You killed my master, and yet you are still here acting coy. , I, Chen Tiexiong, are at odds with you!"
After saying that, he drew an iron whip from behind, slapped his horse and rushed towards Dongfang Ying.
Dongfang Ying was secretly surprised. Hearing what this guy meant, his master, Master Jingxin, was dead. So what happened?
While they were thinking to themselves, Zhan Ruilong and Lin Xiaofeng were furious when they heard Chen Tiexiong cursing Dongfang Ying. They both jumped on their horses and rode towards Chen Tiexiong from both sides.
Seeing this, the old Zen master fluttered his robe sleeves, jumped up from his horse, grabbed Chen Tiexiong's arm, threw him behind him, and threw him in the grass on the roadside.
Then he turned over and landed on the ground, stretched out his palms to the left and right, and grabbed the reins of Zhan Ruilong and Lin Xiaofeng's horses. With just a slight pull, the two horses raised their heads and neighed, and they stood upright. got up.
Lin Xiaofeng was not good at riding, and was immediately thrown off the horse. Zhan Ruilong hurriedly stretched out his left hand to hug the horse's neck, barely holding on to his body, so as not to fall off the horse.
Dongfang Ying did not expect that this old monk was so powerful and agile. She immediately did not dare to underestimate him and shouted:
"Brother Zhan, Xiaofeng, you two, please don't act rashly." , come back to me."
Chen Tiexiong climbed up from the grass in despair and shouted aggrievedly:
"Uncle, are you... not willing to be my master? Have you taken revenge?"
The old Zen master glanced at Chen Tiexiong and said solemnly:
"You will naturally have to take revenge, but with your three-legged cat skills, you can Can you get revenge? Then why do you come to us?"
Chen Tiexiong took a breath and stopped talking.
Lin Xiaofeng also got up from the ground, patted his butt, looked at the old Zen master and said:
"The old monk is great, Brother Ruilong, let's not mess with him." < /p>
Zhan Ruilong smacked his lips and said:
"This old monk seems to be a Jing generation monk from Southern Shaolin. Of course you are not enough. The one we want to beat is the fat black man Chen Tiexiong."
It seems that the Red Flag Club has dealt with Chen Tiexiong before, and Zhan Ruilong recognizes this local bully.
The old Zen master showed no emotion or anger on his face, and ignored Zhan Ruilong and the other two. He walked up to Dongfang Yingma, clasped his hands together and said:
"Amitabha, Lao Na Jinghui from Shaolin Temple would like to ask the heroine for some tips."
