Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 468: The Egret

Seeing the anger in Lin Pingzhi's eyes, Mu Gaoweng was even happier: "My dear grandson, you don't want to fight with grandpa here, do you?"

"Guess what grandpa is now?"

As he spoke, Mu Gaoweng proudly gave a thumbs up, pointed at the sign hanging high on the door, and continued: "Look at what is written on the sign? If you dare to draw your sword here, Wudang can't protect you."

Lin Pingzhi regained his sanity and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

"I have to thank you for this!"

Mu Gaoweng stood up and said with a smile: "If it weren't for my dear grandson, I, an old hunchback who has been wandering for most of my life, would not have such a good place to retire. I drink a little wine every day, sing little songs, and live a happy life~"

Lin Pingzhi frowned slightly, and for a moment he couldn't tell which words of the old ghost were true and which were mocking him.

However, Mu Gaoweng had no intention of making things difficult for Lin Pingzhi. After following Ou Zanghua for all these years, although he did not make any progress in other aspects, his vision and mind had broadened a lot.

"Tell me! You are a Wudang disciple, what are you doing here?"

Lin Pingzhi pursed his lips and did not answer.

"Hey, still as stubborn as ever!"

Mu Gaoweng waved to the servant who was busy at the side, and when he got closer, he said, "Tell that little Taoist priest who I am!"

The servant bowed to Lin Pingzhi and introduced him with a smile: "Master, this is Mu Gaoweng, the manager of the outer courtyard of the Ou Mansion. Even the commander of Liaodong has to call him Gaoweng when he sees him."

When Lin Pingzhi heard this, his face became even uglier, and he even wanted to turn around and leave.

Mu Gaoweng saw what he was thinking, so he waved his hand again, signaling the servant to get back to work, and then he said, "You didn't come here just to take a look at me, the old hunchback, did you?"

"Of course not!" Lin Pingzhi immediately retorted.

"If that's the case, why do you leave when you see me?" Mu Gaoweng asked with a chuckle.

Lin Pingzhi was at a loss for words for a moment and didn't know how to express himself.

"Come on, I won't tease you anymore!"

Mu Gaoweng walked up to Lin Pingzhi and asked again, "May I ask why Taoist Lin came to Ou Mansion?"

"Of course it's to visit Master Ou!"

Lin Pingzhi said awkwardly: "Thank you, Lord Ou, for upholding justice for my Lin family."

"That's right! Wait a minute, the old hunchback will help you report."

Mu Gaoweng shook his head, turned slowly and walked into the Ou Mansion.

When he told Ou Zanghua the news, he clearly felt that his master's expression was a little strange, but Mu Gaoweng did not think much about it and waited quietly for his master's decision.

It's no wonder that Ou Zanghua was so angry. Yue Lingshan had just given birth when Lin Pingzhi came to visit her.
Without hesitation, Ou Zanghua said, "Let him in!"

"Yes." Mu Gaoweng responded, then walked out of the lobby and welcomed Lin Pingzhi in.

Lin Pingzhi, who was waiting outside at this moment, had already learned from the conversation among the servants that the happy event in the mansion today was that the young lady of the Ou family gave birth to a child.

He was quite happy, with a sense of joy that it was better to come at the right time than to come at the right time. Entering the hall, Lin Pingzhi immediately bowed and said, "I am Lin Pingxiang, the poor Taoist priest, and I would like to greet Lord Ou and congratulate Lord Ou on the birth of his precious son."

"Master Lin, you are too polite," Ou Zanghua nodded with a smile, his tone was full of tenderness, "I haven't seen you for many years. I wonder how your father and mother are doing? Has the Qingcheng Sect disturbed them?"

Lin Pingzhi suppressed his nervousness and spoke slowly, "Thank you Lord Ou for your concern. The Qingcheng Sect did not disturb my parents. After returning to Fuzhou, the two elders gave up the escort agency and started running a restaurant. Now, with the shopkeeper and the waiter taking care of daily affairs, they live a comfortable life and everything is fine..."

"Very good!"

Lin Pingzhi took out a wooden box and introduced it, "This is the amulet I got on the Golden Summit of Wudang. Lord Ou, please do not refuse this humble gift. I pray that you will have a safe and smooth life without any disasters or troubles, and that you will be blessed with long-lasting blessings."

"Thank you very much, Master Lin." Ou Zanghua did not refuse and accepted the gift.

Then he chatted with Lin Pingzhi about his own situation. When he learned that Lin Pingzhi was personally taught by Taoist Chongxu and was studying the Twelve Swords of Huilong, Ou Zanghua could not help but show a look of approval. He encouraged him several times, and his words were full of expectations.

When Lin Pingzhi stood up to say goodbye, Ou Zanghua asked Hua An to prepare a small gift for him, as a courtesy.

Lin Pingzhi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't refuse the gift, so he finally accepted it.

After he left the Ou Mansion and walked to a secluded place, he opened the wooden box and looked inside. He saw a small porcelain bottle lying quietly inside. On the neck of the bottle was a piece of bright red paper with the three words "Weihuandan" written on it.

The name made Lin Pingzhi think of the magic medicine of Shaolin Temple, the Xiaohuandan which had the miraculous effect of "restoring strength".

He couldn't help but feel a little curious, and secretly wondered what the similarities and differences were between the Wei Huan Dan and the Xiao Huan Dan.
After seeing Lin Ping off, Ou Zanghua returned to his study. After thinking for a moment, he wrote down the word "Yue". His second son was named Ou Yue.

As for the nickname Ou Zanghua, he suddenly remembered something and took out a sachet from a cabinet.

This was something Yue Lingshan had sewn for him earlier. It was used to repel mosquitoes in the summer, and there was a red and white bird embroidered on the sachet.

It’s just that Yue Lingshan’s craftsmanship is average, and Ou Zanghua couldn’t tell what it was. After asking, he found out that it is an auspicious bird living in Huashan, called the red-crowned crane.

Ou Zanghua was reminded of a poem by Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji:
The graceful red egret comes to the spring pond and roosts on the green trees. Its feathers are as white as silk and its color is as red as dye. It folds its wings as it flies away.

The so-called ibis is actually the crested ibis.

Thinking of this, Ou Zanghua smiled slightly, took out his writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and combining Yue Lingshan's embroidery with Zhang Ji's description, he painted a picture of "Red Ibis". After writing Zhang Ji's poems on it, he continued to write on the side: Ou Yue, nicknamed Red Ibis.

I looked out the window and found that the sky had darkened before I knew it.

He pressed down with one palm, and his powerful internal force was slowly released, drying the ink.

Then he rolled up the painting, called a maid, and told her, "Send this to the delivery room in Taihua Garden."

"Yes." The maid responded, holding the painting in both hands and handing it over.

At this moment, Yue Lingshan's strength had recovered a little and she was breastfeeding her son.

She had extremely strong financial resources. Not only did she have no pressure in breastfeeding two babies, she also continued to breastfeed until the two babies were one year old.

Hearing that Ou Zanghua had specially sent someone to deliver a painting, she lay on the bed and told the maid to gently unfold the scroll.

When the contents of the scroll came into view, Yue Lingshan couldn't help but break into a gentle smile.

She lowered her head to look at the tender little face in her arms and said softly, "Little Ibis, you must grow up safely! You have a brother named Aokiji. When you grow up, you must love each other!"
