Chapter 222: Firewood
Although Zhang Xiaopu and Niu Dawa didn't know the words on the tablets, they were not stupid, they had been here for so long, thinking of the identity of the royal family of the previous dynasty, they had already guessed in their hearts who these tablets were.
If these tablets are really from the Wei clan of the previous dynasty, then among the tablets in the main hall, there must be those true dragon sons who made dragon chairs in the previous dynasty.
And Zhou Jian couldn't come to order incense, so he was angry and angry at these bigwigs' tablets, isn't it just scolding his old man's ancestors in front of the grandfather of the country? It's just that the old birthday star hanged himself, and he was tired of being crooked.
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawafu heard Zhou Jianlai's angry scolding, they were so frightened that they almost didn't fall off the stone bench, and the cold sweat on their foreheads immediately came down. But what they never expected was that when the corner of their eyes was on Grandpa Guo's face, they found that instead of rushing to the crown angrily, Grandpa Guo nodded with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with Zhou Jianlai's foul language. This situation made the two of them stunned, and they didn't know why.
In the main hall, Zhou Jianlai was surrounded by sword qi, fighting frantically with the sword qi in the room, not giving an inch.
His breath grew sharper and more violent. His torn clothes squirmed in the frenzied sword aura, and his long hair broke free from its restraints and danced wildly in the air.
At this moment, he was like a demon god who had come to the world and wanted to slaughter everything in the world.
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
Zhou Jianlai suddenly burst into spring thunder, his eyes widened angrily, and his whole body exuded a domineering aura of dominating the world, and he took a step forward, leaning against the edge of the incense table, and glaring angrily at the tablet behind the incense case, as if to tell them that he was the king who looked down on the world.
Dangdangdang
The spirit card suddenly shook violently, as if he was scolding Zhou Jianlai, but Zhou Jianlai was not afraid, even if the frantic sword qi made his body bloom with blood mist, as if he wanted to pierce his heart with ten thousand swords before relieving his anger, he did not blink an eye, did not retreat an inch.
Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa stood up nervously, they clenched their fists, their palms were full of sweat, their hearts were stuck in their throats, and their eyes were pounding, worrying about Zhou Jianlai and cheering for Zhou Jianlai.
"Slash!" In the hall, Zhou Jianlai shouted again.
Under the frightened and trembling gaze of Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa, he waved his sword finger impressively, rolled up the sword qi in the sky, and angrily slashed towards the tablet in front of him.
The two of them broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that Zhou Jianlai was going farther and farther on the road of death.
Zhou Jianlai's sword fingers slashed down fiercely, but the tablet was broken and the sawdust was flying did not happen. Suddenly, everything was calm, and only the bleeding wound on Zhou Jianlai's body could confirm that what had just happened was true.
A light whistle sounded in the hall, and I saw a sword qi flying out of the tablet, circling in the air, and then shooting towards Zhou Jianlai, submerging into his eyebrows. Immediately after that, the whistling sound came and went, and one after another sword qi submerged into Zhou Jianlai's eyebrows.
In the end, there were more than a dozen high-pitched dragon groans, and twelve yellow sword qi shot out from the tablet, accompanied by the dragon groans, and they all entered Zhou Jianlai's eyebrows.
In front of the stone table, Wei Zi nodded with satisfaction, and said secretly in his heart: "Sword cultivator, you should have a fearless heart! It doesn't matter if you are a god or a demon, whether you are a dragon or a tiger, my sword finger must be surrendered! The boy is good, it only took two days to break free from the deep-rooted fear of the worldly mortals for the imperial power, and his future kendo achievements are immeasurable!"
Zhou Jianlai took a step back, and the incense in his hand spontaneously combusted without fire, and green smoke wafted up. He inserted the incense into the incense burner, took a step back and knelt on the futon, kowtowed respectfully, and apologized: "The boy has offended a lot, I hope that the ancestors will understand and understand, and do not blame." ”
"Pawn, what are those sword qis? Why don't I have them?" Niu Dawa asked Zhang Xiaobao in a low voice, although he didn't know what those sword qi were, but he knew that it must be a good thing, so he looked at it with envy
With Zhou Jian.
"That's the Will of the Sword. It was Wei Zi who replied to Niu Dawa, "You two have too shallow understanding of the way of the sword, and it is normal that you can't comprehend the will of the sword." ”
"Oh" Niu Dawa nodded in response, with a look of chagrin that passed by the treasure house.
Zhang Xiaopaw was also slightly disappointed.
However, the disappointment of the two was left behind as Zhou Jianlai approached, and they happily took a few steps forward to congratulate Zhou Jianlai.
Zhou Jianlai was also very happy to see Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa coming, nodded at the two of them and said hello first, without stopping, they all went straight to Wei Zi's side, bowed and said: "The younger generation is fortunate not to be dishonored, complete the test of the seniors, and beg the seniors not to be stupid and accept them as disciples." ”
Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this, the two of them thought that Zhou Jianlai had already worshiped Grandpa Guo as a teacher, only then did they know that they hadn't yet, it turned out that Zhou Jianlai had just completed the test of Grandpa Guo.
Wei Ziyu sighed: "Since they all agreed, then the old man accepted you as an apprentice and passed on your Wei family's Baili Cloud Thunder Sword, and it was not in vain that Tianwu's predecessors passed on your "Eight Divine Thunder Recipes" with good intentions. ”
Zhou Jianlai was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately knelt on his knees, his face flushed, and said excitedly: "The teacher is above, please accept the disciple's worship." ”
Wei Zi was bowed down by Zhou Jianlai, and sighed: "The old man has done everything in his life, and I don't know whether it is right or wrong, so I can't say any life principles to admonish you, just say a little." Good and evil are right and wrong, and they live up to their hearts. ”
"The admonition of the teacher will be remembered by the disciple for the rest of his life. Zhou Jian said.
"Get up. Wei Zi said, looked up at the sky, it was almost dark, and said, "Go to the backyard to wash and change your clothes, and go to that conference with the two of them." Oh, by the way, move this box away, the old man doesn't know a few big characters, what do you mean by sending a box of calligraphy and painting ink treasures?"
Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa burst into tears when they heard this, and said in their hearts that the Tianwu people are too unreliable. It was only when they moved the wooden box back to the carriage that they realized that the words of the Tianwu Daoist were wrong, he was the widow of the royal family of the previous dynasty, how could he not know a few big characters? Unfortunately, they did not have the courage to go back and question.
Soon Zhou Jianlai finished washing, treated the wounds on his body with elixir, changed into a simple suit, went out of the courtyard and boarded the carriage, and asked, "Why do you two have time to come? What conference did Master just say to attend?"
"There is a banquet in the City Lord's Mansion tonight, called the Young Junjie Pre-War Pledge Conference, and we sincerely invite the young Junjie of Yancheng and the major sects to participate, and I also sent invitations to the three of us. Zhang Xiaopaw said, reached out and grabbed a burden, threw it into Zhou Jianlai's arms, and said, "The invitation is inside, and your clothes, tailor-made for you, take them out and change them." Everyone wears bright and bright clothes, and we can't be too cheap. ”
Zhou Jianlai nodded, opened the package and took out the invitation, opened it to take a look, and at the same time kicked the wooden box lightly with his toes, and asked, "What's in here?"
"The calligraphy, painting and ink treasures in the Li family's treasure house originally wanted to bring them over as a gift to Grandpa Guo, but who knew that his old man didn't like it. Niu Dawa said depressedly.
"Hehe, if you knew this, you might as well buy two baked cakes at the stall of the princess on the street, my master loves to eat them. Zhou Jianlai thought of the scene of his first visit, couldn't help but smile, picked up the curtain, happened to pass by Wang Pozi's baked cake stall, and hurriedly stopped the driver who was driving the car to let him stop, and then asked Zhang Xiaopu and Niu Dawa: "Are you still using this box of things?"
"We can't read, so what do you want them to do? Niu Dawa rolled her eyes and said.
"Then it's better to change a few pancakes to eat. Zhou Jianlai said with a smile.
"Good idea. Hearing the food, Niu Dawa's eyes suddenly lit up, and without Zhou Jian's instructions, he picked up the wooden box and jumped out of the carriage, and went straight to the baked cake stall of Mrs. Wang, chattering as she walked: "The banquet starts at seven o'clock, we must be late." In case it passes
When they eat all the delicious food, they don't have to go hungry all night. Therefore, it is better to eat two baked cakes to cushion your stomach first. ”
"Mother-in-law, do you still have baked cakes?" Zhou Jianlai walked to the stall and asked with a smile, he has been familiar with Mrs. Wang these days, and Wei Zi loves to eat, so he will come to the stall every day to buy baked cakes.
"Yo, it's Xiao Zhou. Are these two sons your friends?" asked with a smile while busy working, and said, "How many of the freshly baked pots do you want?"
"Well, they're my brothers. Zhou Jianlai nodded in response, "It's all about it." My brother can eat. Mother-in-law, you pack two first, and I'll send them to Master and his old man. ”
"Master?!" Mrs. Wang heard Zhou Jianlai's address to Wei Zi, and her wrinkled face showed an expression of extreme surprise.
"Yes, you heard me right, Grandpa Guo has already taken me as an apprentice. Zhou Jianlai said happily.
"Yes, yes? That's great. Mrs. Wang's words suddenly choked up, and the corners of her eyes even filled with tears, she turned sideways and quietly wiped two handfuls.
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Jianlai asked in surprise.
"Hey, nothing, it's just a moment of sentimentality. Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "My wife, I have been selling baked cakes here for decades, and I have always felt that Old Man Wei is lonely. In the past, he still had a few servants by his side, so it was reasonable to say. But over the years, those servants have died one by one, and he is left alone, with no children, no daughters and no friends, looking at him lonely and pitiful. I don't hear that you worship him as a teacher, thinking that he can have a send-off after he dies, and when he is happy for him, tears fall without anger. Well, send it to your master while it's hot. ”
Mrs. Wang wrapped the two cakes and handed them to Zhou Jianlai.
"Hey, thank you. Zhou Jianlai took the baked cake, turned around and ran towards the pine and cypress courtyard.
"Mother-in-law, your craftsmanship is truly amazing. Niu Dawa gave a thumbs up to Mrs. Wang and praised, he didn't know what politeness was, just when Zhou Jian came to talk to Mrs. Wang, he had already eaten two baked cakes.
"Haha, young man, you can eat if you like. Mrs. Wang said happily, she seemed to be very happy, and the wrinkles on her face were about to be squeezed together.
"Mother-in-law, that kid is not welcome. Zhang Xiaopaw said.
"Eat, eat, eat, the old woman is in a good mood today, and I won't charge you money. Mrs. Wang smiled.
Bang Bang Bang
Niu Dawa slapped the wooden box with her hand and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, I won't eat you for nothing, this is full of priceless calligraphy and painting treasures, all of which are given to you." Sell it for money. ”
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them packed all the baked cakes from Mrs. Wang's stall into the carriage, and did not forget to fill the coachman's stomach with four sheets, and the big wooden box of calligraphy and painting Mobao was left to Mrs. Wang.
"What is painted is not as good as what Old Man Wei painted. After the carriage had departed, Mrs. Wang opened the wooden box, took out a painting, and looked at it, shook her head in disappointment, and when she glanced at it, she saw that the fire in the stove was dark, and threw her words into the stove as firewood.
Then he picked up another piece of writing, threw it into the stove before it was fully unfolded, and scolded with a smile: "What a bad word, it's not as good as my wife's writing." ”
If Zhang Xiaopaw and the three of them knew that the calligraphy and painting ink treasures they left behind had been trampled by Mrs. Wang like this, they would definitely cry and laugh.
However, if the Li family found out, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood.
......
"Yo, the feast is about to begin. Hasn't your friend named Zhang Xiaopaw come yet?" In the City Lord's Mansion, Yu Wenrui found Qi Yoyo in the corridor in the courtyard in front of the banquet hall, and when he saw that she had been looking at the door, he stepped forward and asked.
"Maybe not. Qi Yoyo said with a look of disappointment, turned to look at Yu Wenrui, put away the expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Let's go, don't wait for them." ”
