Chapter 3: Don't Know the True Face of Mount Tai

It was noon and the sun was so hot that Bai and Li walked to Qinglong Town at the foot of Mount Tai. The two decided to go to the market town to find an inn to rest.

"Second brother, it seems that this Taishan Conference is quite lively, and there are people from the world along the way." Bai Ruyu said, looking at the crowd coming and going on the street.

"Yes, who would like to miss the prosperous era of the world every four years? Brother, I see there is a shop in front of you. Why don't we go and take a break first, order some wine and fill our stomachs?" Li Qin said while pointing to a restaurant called "Yuelai Inn" in the distance.

Bai Ruyu nodded and walked towards the inn. When she arrived at the restaurant, she ordered some wine. The two of them were drinking and talking.

"Have you heard that? I heard that Taoist Yuxu will also attend this Mount Tai Conference. There will be a lively event this time." A person from the martial arts world next to him said to the person next to him.

"Yes, Taoist Yuxu is a swordsman who is as famous as the sword saint back then. Unexpectedly, after twenty years, Taoist Yuxu will enter the world again. It is really hard to say who the leader of the martial arts world will fall in this year." One person echoed.

"Who are Taoist Yuxu and Bai Meizi?" Bai Ruyu asked in confusion.

"Oh, maybe my elder brother has lived in the mountains for a long time, so I don't know. Twenty years ago, there were two legendary swordsmen in the world, one of whom was Bai Meizi, known as the "Sword Saint". The other was Yuxu Taoist, known as the "Sword God"." Li Qin raised his glass to toast Bai Ruyu. Bai Ruyu was full of curiosity about the two of them.

An old man next to him heard the conversation between the two and said, "What is the Sword God and Sword Saint, it's just a false name." He said that, and walked out the door staggeringly.

Bai Ruyu heard the clue and felt that the old man must be an ordinary person. He decided to go and chat with him.

"Please stop, please stop, I have something to ask for advice on my late-san." Bai Ruyu walked towards the old man.

The old man looked back lazyly and continued to walk forward disdainfully.

"Waiter, make this old man a pot of good daughter Hong!" When the old man heard this, he stopped and turned around and smiled.

"Young man, he is quite sensible and knows to respect me, the old man. Okay, just say whatever you want to say just now." As the old man walked towards Bai Ruyu and Li Qin, the three of them sat down.

"Wansheng just saw the old man saying something amazing. Could it be that he knew Bai Meizi and Yuxu Taoist?" Bai Ruyu asked in confusion.

"Oh, I know each other." The old man Sichen replied for a while.

"So senior, can you tell us some stories about these two elders?" Bai Ruyu continued to ask.

"Did the young man next to you tell you just now? What else can I say?" At this time, the waiter walked over with the old man's wine.

"Keep, your wine has been prepared and I have put it on the table. Keep, do you have any instructions?" said the waiter with a smile.

"You go down first, you will call you if you have any questions." Li Qin said.

"Cheer officer is slow to use it." The waiter bowed and stepped down.

The old man opened the lid of the wine and sniffed it.

"It's really a good wine. Come on, little brother, let me have a drink." Bai Ruyu raised her glass and drank with the old man.

Li Qin, who was beside him, seemed a little impatient. Bai Ruyu saw his second brother's thoughts, but he did not pay attention to it. He continued to talk to the old man.

"I wonder where the old man can recognize the two of them?" Bai Ruyu said in a low voice.

"It has been more than 20 years above the sword-making temple in Huashan. In a blink of an eye, the memories are like a dream. I was still very young at that time. They both fell in love with each other. In order to learn swordsmanship, they fought against each other for three days and three nights in Taishan Taoist temple. Later, Bai Meizi used a move of "Plum Blossom Sword Technique", and Taoist Yuxu hurriedly used a move of "Flying Rain Sword Technique". But unfortunately, the sword edge was slightly off and lost to Bai Meizi by half a move." The old man took a sip of wine thoughtfully and continued.

Bai Ruyu was so immersed in the eyes of the old man. Seeing that the old man was about to leave, she hurriedly got up and saw him off.

When the old man walked outside the door, he looked back at Bai Ruyu, and left with a smile.

When the old man walked away, Li Qin spoke up in dissatisfaction.

"Brother, the old man was crazy just now. How could he believe what he said? He also saw Bai Meizi and Taoist Yuxu. I think he brags about the same way." After Li Qin said that, he drank a glass of wine.

"Second brother, although the old man was covered in rags just now, he could not hide his heroic spirit. Although he spoke slightly, his eyes were firm. He looked like a senior who had practiced martial arts, so what he said should not be false." Bai Ruyu said slowly.

Seeing that his elder brother said this, Li Qin stopped saying anything. He lowered his head and started eating the food alone.

At this time, Zhang Yuyan was following Bai Ruyu. In order to facilitate her walking in the world, she disguised herself as a man, cut a strand of black hair and made a thorny beard.

On the other hand, Duan Tian had already arrived outside Kyoto after a few days of travel. Duan Tian saw a teahouse in front of him and was about to rest first and then prepare to rush. He thought about it and walked towards the teahouse.

After Duan Tian finished drinking the tea, he waited for a while, put the money on the table and prepared to continue his journey. When the people behind him saw Duan Tian leaving, they also collected the tea money and followed Duan Tian.

Maybe because I drank too much water just now, when I walked to the woods outside Kyoto, Duan Tian saw that there was no one around and was preparing to slap it. So he walked towards the nearby bushes.

Suddenly, a man jumped out of the woods and pressed Duan Tian to the ground, and four or five big men rushed out from behind. Duan Tian was immediately frightened.

"Boy, listen, we only seek wealth and don't have life, but if we are not honest, we will kill you! Hand over the valuable things on you!" A big man with a beard on his head said angrily.

"I found it, here, brother, look!" As he said that, he opened Duan Tian's wallet.

"Just that little bit, let me be in vain! Blow him out!" The leading man turned around and walked away. Duan Tian was beaten up by a group of people for a while, and then threw him into the woods.

After a while, Duan Tian, ​​who had slowly woken up, tried his best to get up and limped towards Kyoto with bruises all over his body.

One day afterwards, Duan Tian finally arrived in Kyoto at about the second noon. Because his clothes were torn to pieces, and his body was covered in bruises and fatigue, he fainted on the road in Kyoto when he arrived. Although there were many people watching, he thought he was a stinky beggar when he saw Duan Tian's outfit, so no one was willing to go and help him.

At this time, a woman in an extraordinary manner saw that the crowd was crowded in front of her, so she walked over to her maid.

"Hongtao, come quickly. Someone here fainted. Help me help him." As he said that, the lady bent her knees and was about to help Duan Tian who was falling to the ground. Taohong rushed over to help.

Duan Tian barely opened his eyes, but due to his extreme weakness, he fainted again before he could see everything in front of him.

"Taohong, help me help the young master first, and then find a doctor." As he said that, he struggled to help Duan Tian.

"Miss, you must not. Master will get angry when he finds out!" Taohong was so scared that she stayed aside and didn't dare to help.

"When is it? Life is at stake. I can't care so much anymore. Come and help me. Leave my father to tell me about it."

Taohong stopped refusing when she heard this. The people watching on the side were also moved by the kind-hearted lady and went to help.

Finally Duan Tian was sent to the lady's mansion and then asked the doctor to come for diagnosis.

At this time, Tian gradually regained consciousness and woke up. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised. He thought to himself: Could it be that he was dreaming that everything in front of him was so unique. The curtains and jade curtains hidden in the pavilion door, the silver hooks and satin cuts the windows deep. The yellow roof hangs flowers and red spikes, and a vermilion chair and porcelain basin. What a graceful and luxurious wing room. Why am I here?

The story of the lady saving people soon reached the master's ears. The master came to angrily with his servant to raise anger to seek punishment. The master met the lady outside the wing room.

"Shi'er, I heard that you brought a beggar back on the street and put him in his own wing room. Is this happening?" the master asked.

"Dad, you heard from my daughter. Today, I saw a young man fainting next to the street, so I took him home for treatment. It was really an emergency." Li Shishi defended.

"What do you ask your father to say about you? You are my Ang Lee's daughter, the princess today! Don't you know that you have betrothed to the eldest son of General Zhang's family? Why are you so erratic? You are brought to your house. How can you be a girl? People are so terrifying, please send him away quickly." Ang Lee said sternly.

"Dad, but he hasn't recovered yet." Li Shishi explained.

"What else! Hurry up!" After Ang Lee said that, he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

After hearing all this by Duan Tian in the wing room, he realized that Li Shishi, the daughter of Prince Li who saved him, was now in the princess' room. But he thought that the princess was scolded by the prince just now, and felt a little uneasy. Just when Duan Tian was still thinking, the door of the wing room slowly opened.

Through a few strands of gauze, Duan Tianchao looked at the door.
