"Hold the axe with both hands, stomp tightly, aim at the middle, and feel that your body is exerting force, not just your hands... OK, use force, one, two, three!"

On a flat ground on the small hill behind Mrs. Tang's house, accompanied by Su Sanniang's guidance, Hong Tianguifu raised his axe and fell down. He could only hear a crisp sound of "click". A piece of log standing in front of Hong Tianguifu's face cracked in an instant. However, due to insufficient force, only a deep hole appeared on the log and did not turn into two pieces and fall down.

As Su Sanniang said, Hong Tianguifu had been here at Mrs. Tang's house for three days. He washed his body and tied his braids. Mrs. Tang picked up a worn-out cloth from the bottom of the mountain to change it, and almost completely turned into an ordinary child. As for not knowing how to do farm work, Hong Tianguifu trained his hand by chopping wood every day, while Su Sanniang stayed on the back mountain for a few days. One was to secretly protect the young king, and the other was to give some technical guidance. For this innocent, simple and pampered fifteen-year-old child, she really couldn't bear to hand it over to Mrs. Tang, so she left.

On this day, Old Mrs. Tang was cooking in the stove room as usual, and Hong Tianguifu came to the back mountain to practice chopping wood again. Seeing that he could not cut out high-quality firewood, Su Sanniang shook her head disappointed and said worriedly: "Oh, if you keep doing this, how can I leave with confidence?"

Hong Tianguifu threw the axe on the ground and asked, "Can't you live with us?"

Su Sanniang sighed and said, "Don't I want this? But, I am different from you. My Su Sanniang's appearance has not completely disappeared from the impression of Qing Yao. Later, there is an additional identity of "Sand King Feng Yuliang". It is a double danger. Staying by your side will only cause trouble for you and Old Lady Tang. In addition, if you have always depended on me, how can you face more challenges alone in the future? Child, you are fifteen years old, and you will be an adult if you grow up one year old. You have to live like a man, okay?"

"Maybe this is true for other children. It's a pity that my father has not allowed me to leave the capital since he was a child, nor has he allowed me to come into contact with the Four Books and Five Classics. He only told me the books I wrote myself..." Hong Tianguifu looked around in a daze, and suddenly looked at Su Sanniang like a sensible child, and said sincerely, "But Sanniang don't worry, I know what to do. In fact, I'm not powerless to split the firewood, but I just made things difficult and couldn't bear to leave you. Now my idea is settled, Sanniang, please leave."

"Oh, did you do it on purpose?"

"Well, don't believe me, look." After saying that, Hong Tianguifu stood up another log, picked up the axe on the ground, tightened his horse's stance, shouted "Hey", and swung his axe down.

This time, the log was completely broken into two halves.

"You kid, hahaha..." Sanniang laughed at Hong Tianguifu, touched his head and said, "Then, I'm leaving, this is your home in the future."

As she was talking, Old Mrs. Tang was already shouting from below: "Qingxiang, the meal is ready, come back for dinner soon!"

"Sanniang, I'm going to have a meal." After saying that, Hong Tianguifu picked up the firewood and the axe, looked at Su Sanniang reluctantly. After the two nodded to each other, Hong Tianguifu walked home.

However, today's lunch seemed a bit unexpected. When Hong Tianguifu returned home, he saw an old man in white sitting at the dining table. Old Mrs. Tang was serving the meal to the old man and introducing it to Hong Tianguifu with a smile: "Qingxiang, this old man passed by here and said that our place has a very good feng shui and he wanted to come and see it. Let's give the old man a glass of wine."

The old man smiled at Hong Tianguifu sideways. Hong Tianguifu immediately recognized that he was no one else. He was the old man in white who gave him water and dough four days ago. He immediately said happily: "It's you, grandpa. Grandma, let's not hide it from you, I know this grandpa, and I gave me food a few days ago."

Old Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "Is that so? Then you should thank grandpa even more."

After Hong Tianguifu toasted a glass of wine, the three of them started to eat. The old man said, "Two, today I passed by here and found that this place was surrounded by mountains and valleys. It is a Feng Shui treasure land. I like it at a glance. I came to ask for food and tell fortunes to your family so that you can know what to do in order to seek profit and avoid disasters. I don't know what to do?"

"So, it's really hard for the Master." said Old Mrs. Tang, "But I, a seventy-year-old woman, have not had much time left. How I live in this life has long been a definite number, but this child's life seems to be not very good, so let's show him."

"Okay, kid, give me your hand." After saying that, the old man threw an elusive sneer at Hong Tianguifu.

Hong Tianguifu seemed to feel strange, but he couldn't refuse. He trembled with his left hand in front of the old man.

The old man held Hong Tianguifu's palm and did not check the palm lines carefully like an ordinary fortune teller. Instead, he rubbed his palms back and forth, and said curiously: "Strange, such a miserable child has such a thin and tender palm. I'm afraid he has never done farm work before?"

Hong Tianguifu suddenly felt nervous, pulled his hand back, and stammered: "This... this doesn't matter to you!"

"Of course I'll care about my business." After saying that, the old man stood up from the bench and knelt down on one knee, "I'm not hiding it from Your Majesty, I'm the uncle of the royal family, Hong Qicheng. I'm here to find Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to follow me to meet with the King's troops and head to Hunan together!"

This sudden scene shocked Hong Tianguifu. He immediately couldn't sit on the bench and stood up and asked, "Where is the King of Gan?"

"Ah Chacha, Hong Fu-chan, King Gan, of course, is in our hands." After saying that, the old man sneered and stood up.

Old Mrs. Tang was shocked and said, "What's going on? Who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man soared into the air and kicked at Old Lady Tang. Old Lady Tang flew out quickly, hit the wall, and fainted.

Hong Tianguifu glanced at Old Mrs. Tang, and knew that the matter had been exposed, so he didn't care about saying anything, so he ran out of the door.

The old man immediately chased after him with agility that was not consistent with his age, and punched Hong Tianguifu on the back of his head, and Hong Tianguifu's body quickly became soft.

Before falling to the ground, the old man had reached out to catch Hong Tianguifu who was unconscious and sneered: "I trust others so easily, and I'm going to be the emperor, ah Chacha..." After saying that, the old man shook Hong Tianguifu in his hand, adjusted his posture, and walked up the back mountain.

At this moment, a female voice came from the roof: "Stop me! Put down the child!"

The owner of the voice was Su Sanniang. After saying goodbye to Hong Tianguifu, she did not go far away. She was really worried and stayed in the bushes to pay attention to the movements of Mrs. Tang's house for a while. Sure enough, she immediately chased her back when she saw something happened. She saw that Su Sanniang had already held the Pu Knife in her hand, revealing a killing spirit.

"Ah Chacha, it turns out it's you, the child's 'mother'..." The old man deliberately flipped the 'mother' for a long time, expressed his mockery, and said, "If you have the ability, come and take it." After that, the old man speeded up and ran quickly up the mountain.

Su Sanniang didn't know the details of this person and did not dare to use the hunter of the Heavenly Kingdom to shoot. She stretched out her right hand and summoned the three corpses.

A golden light flashed, and three little ghost heads appeared on Su Sanniang's right arm. Peng Ju laughed and said, "Gaga, what advice do you have for Sanniang to summon us this time?"

"Did you see the old man in front of you? Hurry up and chase after him, Peng Ju Peng Se, you are responsible for harassing him and making him unable to move. Peng Ju, you are responsible for recapturing the boy in his hands."

Peng Ju and Peng Xue replied in unison: "Okay!"

Peng Shu replied: "I am most afraid of killing people, but this task of saving people... I can do it..."

After saying that, the three corpses rushed out with a roar. In the blink of an eye, they caught up with the running old man.

The old man suddenly noticed something strange, looked at his abdomen, and said in a daze: "What the hell is this?"

The old birthday star Peng Ju grabbed the back of the old man's neck and smiled and said, "Gaga, I am the upper corpse Peng Ju. If I catch you, I will be dizzy!"

The toad Peng Xie had already entangled the old man's abdomen and said, "Gaga, I am the corpse Peng Xie. If I catch you, I will definitely be lazy to eat!"

Niutou Peng Qiang tried hard to compete for Hong Tianguifu in the old man's hand, and shouted in confusion: "Big brother, second brother, why haven't you discouraged him yet?"

Peng Ju wondered, "I don't know either, I'm almost scratching his skin!"

Peng Xie also shouted: "Yes, why is this?"

The old man immediately understood something and sneered: "Ah Chacha, is it the three corpses? It seems that this woman will use some Taoist techniques. But is this something useful to me?" After saying that, he continued running as if nothing had happened, and letting the three corpses work hard and do everything in vain.

Su Sanniang naturally saw this scene behind her. She was surprised and before she could think about it, she chased after her in person and shouted: "Trip him!"

"Yes, if you can't get rid of you, you can't even drag you down?" After saying that, the three corpses had already flew to the front of the old man's right foot, and Peng Ju shouted, "Brothers, one, two, three!"

The three corpses tried their best together, pulling the old man's right foot and tripping him to the ground.

The old man fell among the fallen leaves all over the ground, still holding on to the unconscious Hong Tianguifu. Behind him, Su Sanniang had already rushed up.

The old man knew that the situation was critical, so he shouted loudly in desperation: "Zhao Hongcai, Zhao Hongcai, where are you dead?"

"I am coming!"
