Yin Tianyun understood that he was reluctant to leave home at a young age, and did not persuade him. After he wiped away his tears, he asked, "Xiao Mao, you saw the whole story of the matter by the river last night. Do you know the reason?"

Hu Xiaomao shook his head: "I was hiding far away at that time, and I couldn't hear what Master was saying. Moreover, the light was dim at night, and I couldn't see clearly, but I just vaguely saw you as if you were fighting for a package. As for what was inside the package, I don't know." He turned his tone and asked curiously: "Master, what treasure are you fighting for?" So many people lost their lives for this, and he guessed that it must be a priceless treasure.

Yin Tianyun was very calm, so he didn't have to worry about the secret of "Nine Yang Divine Arts" leaking. Surong said: "What we are fighting for is a treasure map left by a prince of the Yuan Dynasty. Once this treasure is found, anyone can become a wealthy man who can rival a country. So after the news spread, so many people competed for it. This matter is important and not small. You must not tell the third person what you saw last night, otherwise my Hengshan Sect will never have peace and may even bring disaster to the family. If you dare to tell this secret to outsiders, for the sake of the Hengshan Sect's foundation, I will only end up with your life with my own hands and will never tolerate it!"

Hu Xiaomao's body turned cold and was shrouded in murderous aura emitted by Yin Tianyun, as if he fell into a polar ice cave. His blood almost frozen on the spot. He was so scared that he immediately made a poisonous oath, but he dared not say "no".

Yin Tianyun's face cleared a little and sighed: "Any man is innocent, but he is guilty of being a wall. Xiao Mao, you should deliberately scare you if you are not a teacher. This fact does not tolerate any negligence. You must prevent any trouble before it happens. I believe that you can keep your oath and will not disappoint me. If we can successfully raise this treasure in the future, use it to help the victims, build roads and bridges, and renovate river embankments, I wonder how many good deeds that benefit the people will be done. By that time, you will be a great hero in the Hengshan Sect who regained the reputation of a hero!"

Hu Xiaomao said: "Disciple understands Master's painstaking efforts! Xiaomao actually did nothing. Master is the hero of Hengshan Sect!"

Yin Tianyun smiled and said, "Just understand! As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food. You also saw it last night. There are many gang forces in the world who are obsessed with profit. They want to seize this treasure map, and they do not hesitate to do anything to fight and use all kinds of vicious means. Now I am seriously injured, my skills have subsided, and I may be attacked by the enemy at any time. The situation can be said to be very dangerous. I don't know if I can see the sunshine tomorrow. I'm thousands of miles away from Hengshan. I can't let people find out whereabouts and expose my identity too early, so I need you to come forward when I fight for the top and stay in the road. I don't believe anyone except you."

Hu Xiaomao suddenly realized and finally understood why Yin Tianyun had to accompany him. He frowned and said, "Master, but Xiaomao has never gone far away, so he knows nothing about these!"

Yin Tianyun said: "Aren't you very familiar with your elder brother Zhao? You ask him more questions along the way, and you will naturally understand. But don't tell him your identity as a teacher and the destination of this trip."

Hu Xiaomao was stingy.

Yin Tianyun explained some things that need to be handled carefully, and Hu Xiaomao took out one by one. Yin Tianyun finally took out a rectangular flat box from his arms. There was a small round hole at the front of the box, and a fixed belt was connected to the bottom. "Xiaomao, you are also in danger of your life when you are with me. Those cruel and ruthless gangsters will not show mercy to you. This is the protective hidden weapon "Puncture Heart Arrow" I used to use the mechanism to launch it, and it has extremely strong lethality at close range. It is for you to defend yourself. Remember, don't use it until you have to! Once the enemy knows that you have a hidden weapon to defend yourself, this Pirate Heart Arrow will not be effective."

Hu Xiaomao had just seen the cruel battles in the world with his own eyes, and did not doubt that he might be torn to pieces. According to Yin Tianyun's guidance, he tied the arrow box with great importance. This heart-piercing arrow is actually a kind of sleeve arrow. Usually tied to his arms, it can be covered with sleeves. Unless he is a master of hidden weapons, it will not be discovered. When using it, just aim at the enemy and press the hidden button of the mechanism. The short and sharp sleeve arrow will be shot out, which is unpredictable. Hu Xiaomao has no martial arts foundation and cannot practice Hengshan sword technique in a short time. Yin Tianyun had to hand over the hidden weapon he had hidden to him. Otherwise, if he encounters an enemy, Hu Xiaomao would not have the chance to fight back.

Hu Xiaomao got this novel thing, his face was full of excitement, imagining the direction of the enemy, and raised his hand to look around. Yin Tianyun saw him suddenly facing him, and said sternly: "This is a killing weapon, don't mess around!" He knew the power of the heart-piercing arrow. If Hu Xiaomao mistakenly pressed the mechanism and shot the sharp arrow straight, he would die. Hu Xiaomao let go obediently, stuck out his tongue mischievously, and said embarrassedly: "Master, I didn't mean it, don't be angry!"

Yin Tianyun was so amused that he told him to be quiet for a while and not to disturb his breathing and rest. Hu Xiaomao did not sleep all night, but was actually very sleepy, so he simply curled up in a corner of the carriage and fell asleep.

Hu Xiaomao woke up and it was already late. The sky was still dark clouds, and the thin raindrops fell slowly. The breeze blew, bringing a cool breath. After the heavy rain, the road was muddy, and the air was filled with the smell of mud. At this time, it was far away from Jianyang. Looking out through the car window, the scenery was very different. On the roadside were large areas of barren fields, overgrown weeds, and in the abandoned villages were full of broken jades, broken bricks and tiles. From time to time, crows flew away and fell, and no one could see a figure. A little further away were rows of low earth tombs, which were washed out by the rain because no one repaired them.

Hu Xiaomao grew up in the town since he was a child. Today is the first time he saw such a dilapidated scene in the countryside. He was shocked to hear. Although the place where he lives is poor, it is a hundred times better than this place. He couldn't help but ask: "Master, why is this village empty? Are all the villagers suffering from plague?"

Yin Tianyun shook his head and said, "You guessed it wrong! A few years ago, the world was in chaos, wars continued, and bandits were rampant. A village like this without city wall protection was either looted or abandoned by the villagers. Look at the many graves next to the village, it is estimated that most of the villagers here were killed by bandits or bandits."

Although the world was settled at this time, countless people fled their homes during the war, and millions of people died in the war, resulting in the abandonment of many villages and no one to cultivate good land. This cannot be changed in a short while. In particular, many remaining soldiers and bandits took the opportunity to gather to make trouble, occupy the mountains and become kings, slaughter civilians at will, and plunder women's property, which was extremely harmful. Only eleven or two years after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty in the north attempted to fight back, rebellion in the south, Japanese pirates in the east invaded the border, and Tibetan religions in the west were dominant and did not obey the central rule. Therefore, the court is mainly to deal with external troubles and cannot withdraw troops to sweep them. In order to protect themselves, the villagers had to flee to towns or concentrate in large villages with city walls and sanitation, otherwise they would not be protected day and night.

Hu Xiaomao said in surprise: "Are the men, women, young and old in the village killed? This is so cruel!" The thoughts surged, as if they saw those ferocious murderers waving their swords and guns, slaughtering unarmed villagers. In the pool of blood, there were hungry babies, white-haired old men, and delicate and charming girls. Their faces were filled with fear, anger and injustice.

Yin Tianyun saw many such human tragedies and said calmly: "The bandits are almost all the defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers who survived on the battlefield. They all kill people like numb and are cold-blooded and ruthless, so they will not be ruthless in massacre of civilians. They usually go out to steal property and food, and they will rape and then kill women when they meet women. The strong men will tie them back to use them as slaves. As for the elderly and children, they will not escape and die."

Bang! Hu Xiaomao punched the car board and said angrily: "These people are so cruel and indiscriminately killed, they are simply worse than beasts! When I learn martial arts, I must flatten them and avenge the dead!"

Yin Tianyun said: "You must not underestimate these bandits! These people are not afraid of death, are skilled in bows and horses, come and go like the wind, and are good at collective combat. There are many powerful martial arts people in the world who want to eliminate harm for the people, but they are still at large and do whatever they want. You can imagine their strength." Speaking of this, a hint of worry appeared in their eyes, "Maybe we will meet the strongest man on the way back to Hengshan."

"What?!" Hu Xiaomao was really shocked this time. No, he hasn't learned martial arts yet. What if he encounters bandits? And he is the strongest one!

Yin Tianyun said: "From here to return to Hengshan, you must pass through the sphere of influence of the 'Nufeng Village' in eastern Hunan. In the past, when my skills were intact, I naturally didn't fear them. At most, I could use my light skills to bypass them, but now I can't do it. Nufeng Village is one of the eight major cliques in the world. Their leader Qiu Wuren is said to have been a powerful general under Zhang Shicheng. Not only is he good at commanding troops, but his martial arts are also unique. The iron-armored warriors he led are famous for their bravery and ruthlessness. I think that except for the regular army of the court, others can't have the advantage of head-on confronting them."

The more Hu Xiaomao listened, the colder he felt. He hurriedly suggested: "Master, you have not healed because you are seriously injured. For safety reasons, we might as well take a long way to avoid them."

Yin Tianyun asked, "Are you scared?" Hu Xiaomao raised his chest and said loudly, "Who said I am afraid of them? Xiaomao is just worried about his master's injuries. If he meets an enemy, it will be troublesome." Yin Tianyun smiled faintly: "It's best not to be afraid! We martial arts practitioners must first practice our minds and will. If we panic when encountering trouble and run away in danger, it will be difficult to make a difference in martial arts. If you want to learn first-class martial arts, you must have the willpower as strong as a rock!" Hu Xiaomao was sweating profusely and said in obedience: "Disciple is dull, thank you for your teachings."

Yin Tianyun said: "Of course, your concerns are not unreasonable. However, Nufeng Village will only be dispatched if it encounters a big deal. Passengers like us who do not have a large number of food, grass, silk, and gold, silver and jewelry are disdainful at all, and the chances of meeting the two sides are slim. As long as we do not take the initiative to cause trouble, at most we will be in danger."

Hu Xiaomao secretly wiped a cold sweat and asked curiously: "Master, besides Nufeng Village, what other ones are among the eight major villages?"

Yin Tianyun listed one by one: "The 'Bai Poison Village' in Yunnan, the 'Feilong Village' in Sichuan, the 'Iron Cavalry Village' in Guanzhong, the 'Do Jiao Village' in Huanghe, the 'Red Turban Village' in Shandong, the 'Falcon Village' in northern Fujian and the 'Serial Village' in Poyang Lake are as famous as the 'Nine Wind Village' in Xiaoxiang. These eight major villages ignore the court's pleadings and separatist sides, and have gradually transformed into gangster forces, joining the scammers in martial arts, killing people and robbing, selling women, and doing all kinds of evil. If you walk in the world in the future, remember not to show off your heroes and deliberately provoke them."

Hu Xiaomao disagreed and said perfunctorily: "Disciple knows!" After thinking about it, he turned to ask about the situation in Hengshan Sect. Yin Tianyun also picked some important things and told him to listen, so that he could have a general understanding of Hengshan Sect. Hu Xiaomao listened with relish, and did not realize that time passed.

Yin Tianyun was talking about the martial arts skills of each of the younger generation in Hengshan. Zhao Anliang suddenly leaned in and touched Yin Tianyun's eyes. He hurriedly smiled with a pleasing smile: "Hero, Ningshan Town is here. We have to stay in the town tonight. If we walk forward, we can only sleep in the wild."

At this extraordinary moment, sleeping in the wild is like seeking death. Although Yin Tianyun was anxious to leave, he didn't want to take too much risk. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's stay in the town for one night and continue to travel west tomorrow. Xiaomao, go and go and check in with him."

Hu Xiaomao agreed, got out of the car, looked up and was disappointed. Ningshan Town is a very small town with only two streets across the board, which is a world of difference compared to Jianyang Town. The houses in the town are closed tightly, with few people walking around in the wind, and it looks more and more dead. Because of the constant wars, the residents of the town have already fled. There have been only people returning one after another in the past two or three years, but they are also phoenix-haired elixir, and very few.

Zhao Anliang had already parked the mule cart outside the only inn in the town. He pulled Hu Xiaomao out of the car, glanced at the car, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaomao, what is the guy in the car? This person doesn't look good. Be careful, don't get too close to him to avoid getting angry!" Hu Xiaomao naturally would not reveal Yin Tianyun's identity and smiled: "Brother Zhao, don't ask so much! I'm very good now, I won't be in trouble, but I'm so hungry!" Zhao Anliang stared at him for a while, shook his head and smiled: "Little guy, he actually keeps it secret from me! I won't ask you anymore, as long as you're fine, otherwise how can I explain to your mother?" Hu Xiaomao smiled: "Thank you Brother Zhao!"

Zhao Anliang patted his head helplessly and took Hu Xiaomao into the inn. Zhao Anliang is an old guest here and is already familiar with the inn owner. He settled the people in a few words. After dinner, Hu Xiaomao asked the inn owner to come and write a full five-page letter, explaining why he ran away from home, asking his parents not to worry, etc., and then noting the address, asking the boss to pass it when he has time, of course, he did not forget to give him some hard work. The boss was jealous of money and agreed.

It was a quiet night and the waves were quiet and I slept until dawn.

The group walked for four days without stopping, and encountered several groups of people from the world on the way, but everyone's destinations were different and they were contrary to each other. No one had harassed them. Yin Tianyun usually hid in the car to recuperate and refused to show up easily. All matters were left to Hu Xiaomao. Hu Xiaomao learned and understood quickly. He took out Zhao Anliang's inventory in just a few days, and was able to deal with all kinds of people.

Crossing the Ganjiang River on that day, he came outside Ji'an City. Ji'an is a transportation and water conservancy hub in the middle reaches of the Ganjiang River. The city is wide and thick, with dense walls, and has developed commerce. The urban area is four or five times that of Jianyang. I saw the towering city towers, flags fluttering, and strict guarding. It is indeed as grand as a big city. There are many pedestrians at the city gate, and they must be inspected regardless of entry or exit.

After seeing too many uninhabited scenery in the wilderness and finally came to the prosperous place, Hu Xiaomao was very excited and asked Yin Tianyun: "Master, are we going to the city?"

Yin Tianyun said, "No, we won't go into the city." Hu Xiaomao was poured on his head with a basin of cold water and asked in a disgusting manner: "Why can't you enter the city?" Yin Tianyun explained patiently: "If it was not as expected, what happened that night had caused a great shock in the world. Ji'an must be surging now, with masters from all walks of life. The city is mixed with dragons and snakes, and there are eyeliners from major gangs and sects. After we enter the city, if we accidentally reveal our whereabouts and arouse suspicion of underworld figures, it will be difficult to get out of the city again! In order to reduce the possibility of being seen through, we have to go around the city." Hu Xiaomao seemed to understand but his master made a decision and could only follow it.

Yin Tianyun ordered Zhao Anliang to go around the west of Ji'an City and drive the mule cart into a wood next to the road. Seeing that he was passing through the city and coming to such a remote and deserted place, Zhao Anliang couldn't help but feel up and down. He wouldn't be silenced, right?

Yin Tianyun saw the uneasiness in his heart at a glance, took out a ingot of five taels of silver, threw it into his arms, and said quietly: "You have worked hard all the way, and these five taels of silver are the reward for you. From today on, you don't have to accompany us to travel." Zhao Anliang was surprised and happy. The reward was more than thirty times his daily car fee. He hurriedly bowed and praised his gratitude, thinking that the heroes of the world were generous. Yin Tianyun said: "Don't be busy thanking me for now. I have one thing left to you, and I will give you another five taels of silver if I finish it." Zhao Anliang's eyes shining and he patted his chest, "As long as the hero is instructed, the young man will do it for you even if he goes through fire and water!"

Yin Tianyun said, "Don't exaggerate, do you really dare to go through fire and water? I want you to go to the city immediately to find a trustworthy and tight-lipped driver, and carry us on the road. Go and go quickly, we will wait for your news here." Zhao Anliang was confused and a little angry: "Hero, why do you have to find someone else? My driving skills are not worse than others!" Yin Tianyun glared: "If you ask you to go, go, don't be too long-winded!" Zhao Anliang felt cold in his heart, and he quickly replied, running into the city to find someone.
