Ten days later, the Taoist hall.

Yan Hong, Taoist Xiaomeng, Xiaoyaozi, Mojia leader, elder and Gai Nie, Xun Fuzi, Fu Nian, Yan Lu, Zhang Liang, Fan Zeng, Xiang Liang, and others, participated in the Confucian festival, mourning all the Confucian students who died in this catastrophe, Tianming, Shaoyu and many Taoist disciples outside the hall stood solemnly, extremely solemn, Tianming Shaoyu's expression was strict, and there was inevitably a trace of sadness between the eyebrows.

The two teenagers recalled the days they spent together in the Little Sage Village, the humble and polite Zicong, and the somewhat stingy Zimu, but now they have become unforgettable memories when they think about it.

Together, memories turn into an elusive bird, soaring in the sky of memory, and all kinds of Confucianism in the past are vividly reproduced in my mind.

For the first time, he followed the third master Zhang Liang into the Confucian gate.

"Ziming, Ziyu!"

"Where did you two go, I looked for you for a long time."

"Is he calling you two?" The general asked.

The two of them thought for a moment and nodded again and again.

"You two are Confucian disciples?"

"Yes, yes, there is no doubt that we are definitely true Confucian disciples."

While speaking, Zhang Liang had already walked over and scolded the two of them: "Two unscrupulous children, the guests are about to arrive, you are still messing around, causing trouble to the general, don't you pay for it quickly?" ”

The general said, "Mr. Zifang, this is not necessary. It's just that adults are coming soon, and I'm afraid of making mistakes in my busyness. ”

Zhang Liang nodded, turned around and said, "Have you completed what you were asked to do?" ”

Shaoyu didn't know what Zhang Liang was referring to, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "We...... It's done. ”

"What about that thing?"

"Stuff ......"

"It's the refreshments that the guests are going to use."

The two of them didn't know how to deal with it, when they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them: "Ding Fatzi refreshment is here!" A short and fat figure appeared, carrying a food box in his hand, it was Ding Fatzi.

"Shopkeeper Ding, you are very punctual. Ziming Ziyu, let's bring the refreshments into the house. ”

Shaoyu was the first to react and said, "Ah." Be. ”

Ding Fatzi said: "Ouch, these two little brothers are talented, and Confucianism is really extraordinary." ”

Tianming was thinking that Ding Fatzi's acting skills were so good, and suddenly heard the general say: "My lord has already arrived at the bottom of the mountain, everyone, please avoid it." ”

Zhang Liang arched his hand and said, "General, shopkeeper Ding, thank you." He turned his head to the two and said, "Ziming, Ziyu." Let's go. ”

Tianming turned around and saw the gate in the middle slowly open, and he was about to walk over, but was pulled by Shaoyu.

"Stupid, it's not there, it's the side door."

"Isn't the gate there, why are you pulling me over this little gate?"

"It's a rule, do you understand?"

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "The gate is for adults, and the small door is for villains." So, you're going to go through the little door. ”

"Villain?" Tianming said unconvinced: "What do you mean, do you mean that I am young?" ”

"Well, you'll understand it later. I don't want to be caught by the Qin army. Just follow me. Remember, this is the first favor you owe me. ”

"The first favor...... Tianming came back to his senses and said, "It seems that I owe you a lot of favors." ”

"If the answer is correct, the son can be taught."

Thinking of the words of the third master. Although I still don't understand it now, I don't know why, Tianming wants to laugh. But tears flowed out.

has experienced a lot of things, even if it is as simple as Tianming, I also understand a little that if the Third Master does not take himself into the Little Sage Village, maybe that beautiful fairyland-like place will not be cremated into ashes.

I still remember that day, I and Shaoyu followed the third master into that beautiful place.

Walking slowly, looking at the Confucian high courtyard close at hand, the curvature of the corner of Yechenxi's mouth rose slightly, while enjoying the scenery of the attic around Confucianism, he closed his eyes slightly again, listening to the floating of the wind and the long song of the birds. Now it can be said that the plan of the Yin and Yang family is getting closer and closer, and the Mo family is no longer in the climate, as for a new round of cleaning, it will start with Confucianism.

As you step through the door, you will first be greeted by two circular staircases, which are clean and smooth. The bushes next to the building, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the long corridor is twisting and turning, the lake water in the pool is even clearer, and the fish swim happily from time to time. As far as the eye can see, the whole piece is magnificent, but it is subtle and elegant, and it is really different, elegant and chic.

Looking at the fairyland-like place in front of him, Tianming was delighted. Then the fragrance that came to the face, fresh and pleasant, made people linger, thankfully wandered between the wooden bridges and pavilions, looked around, Tianming found for the first time, it turned out that there is such a beautiful place in the world.

The curious people ran around and walked around, and from time to time they asked Zhang Liang this and that, so leisurely. "Huh? Hey. Wow! Not? Huh? Hehe, eh! Hee-hee-hee-haha-ha! There are fish! Hey! Hey! "Happily run to the front, Tianming happily runs and jumps.

"Some people say that aristocrats know how to luxury, and Confucians know how to enjoy. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. Looking around appreciatively, Shao Yu secretly admired. This is where you Confucians live? Thinking of what a beautiful place it is, it is about to be where he wants to live, Tianming asked excitedly.

"It's the front yard, the place where the book meets. The place to stay is at the back of the sea. He smiled slightly, and Zhang Liang said.

"By the sea?! Being able to see the sea?! "What do you hear, Tianming asked more cheerfully." Kindness. Zhang Liang nodded in affirmation.

"Great! I've never seen the sea before! Let's go, let's go! What about the sea, I want to see the sea!! Seeing Zhang Liang's affirmation, Tianming was so happy that he ran straight forward.

Shao Yu looked at Tianming's back and hurriedly followed, and did not forget to disdain it in his mouth:

"What a boy who has never seen the world." But to be honest, Shao Yu couldn't help but be curious about the one here. Looking at the backs of the two of them galloping, Zhang Liang smiled.

"Since I'm here, I'm afraid I'll have to stay for a long time after that. If you see each other every day, why rush for a while. Zhang Liang followed up and said softly.

I remember that since then, I have lived with Shaoyu in that beautiful place, and after that, ...... After that, I met Zimu and Zicong.

They...... Although they look down on themselves a little and respect Shaoyu very much, it was the first time they were with so many peers, and they really missed it.

In a trance. Tianming seemed to feel that a gaze was looking at him, and when he turned his head, he happened to meet Shaoyu's eyes.

Oh, yes...... It was also there that Shaoyu's younger brother and Shi Lan met, thinking of this, Tianming made a slight mouth gesture at Shaoyu, [Shi ...... Ran].

Shao Yu was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he looked at the misty incense candle in front of him, through the smoke of the candle flame. seems to be able to see the first encounter between the two of them and Shi Lan.

Little Sage Village, Wendao Academy.

Tianming's defeat of Gongsun Linglong did not have any impact on his and Shaoyu's lives, Shaoyu is still a high-profile star, and Tianming is still his little confused. 8 A slow bell rang, and Tianming's heart was shocked when he heard it, and he ran towards Wendao Academy with all his might.

This is the bell for class, and if you don't reach the academy before the bell rings, you will definitely be punished again.

"Ziming." Ziyou checks the list of disciples. One by one, the roll call was called.

"To-" Tianming heard Ziyou's voice, and rushed over with a shout from five zhang away, and everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw his wolf appearance, and Tianming hurriedly walked in the door. Unexpectedly, there was a food box on the ground, and he couldn't hold his feet for a while, and he tripped over the food box, and the whole person flew forward. pounced on Ziyou.

The food box on the ground was kicked by Tianming, and the food in the box was suddenly scattered all over the ground, and the elegant and quiet academy suddenly became unbearable.

Ziyou hurriedly got up. Trembling Weiwei said to Fu Nian: "Master, the roll call is complete, and the disciples are here." ”

Fu Nian hadn't spoken yet, only to see a person coming in from outside the door, expressionless, squatting down to silently clean up the food on the ground, Shao Yu's eyes lit up, and he recognized that he had seen the little guy who had served the food box to Ding Fat Man in an inn.

"Gee, who spilled all my food." A person's voice came from outside the door, and then a short and fat figure walked in, it was Ding Fatzi.

Ding Fatzi looked around, saw Tianming's appearance, and immediately understood a little, and said, "Ah, it's Tian...... Ziming? ”

"Shopkeeper Ding, I'm really sorry, I have to trouble you to prepare again." Fu Nian said.

"Mr. Fu Nian, don't say such outrageous words, it's just that this is going to be hard, Shi Lan will have to go up and down again."

"Shi Lan, you're tired, I'm sorry."

Shi Lan concentrated on cleaning up the food on the ground, and didn't seem to hear Fu Nian's words.

"It turns out that this boy's name is Shi Lan." Shao Yu thought to himself.

Fu Nian took the roster from Ziyou's hand and said, "Ziming, do you know that you are wrong?" ”

Tianming hung his head, nodded, and said "um".

"So you know what to do, right?"

"Hmm."

"Go ahead."

Tianming dragged his steps, slowly walked to the corner, and thought about it.

Ding Fatzi led Shi Lan out of the door. At this moment, I saw Zhang Liang and Yan Lu coming side by side, Ding Fatzi greeted the two, Zhang Liang saw this, and asked, "Shopkeeper Ding, someone made you angry again, right?" ”

Fat Ding waved his hand and said, "Forget it." ”

"It must be Ziming again." Yan Lu said suddenly.

"Oh, how can the second senior brother be so sure?"

"If someone else had changed, Shopkeeper Ding would have been furious and yelling. But speaking of which, Shopkeeper Ding seems to take special care of this Ziming, doesn't he? ”

Zhang Liang pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, being said by the second senior brother like this, it seems to be really the case." ”

"You don't really know anything about it, do you?"

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and did not speak.

……………………

Shao Yu patted the listless Tianming and said, "What's the matter, boy, it's not the first time I've stood in the corner." ”

"This time, I didn't hit the palm of my hand in the corner of the wall, so Ziming was very unhappy." Ziyou sneered, and the other disciples also laughed when they heard Ziyou's words.

Tianming was even more annoyed in his heart, but he didn't bother to argue with them.

When the clock rang, Ziyou's face became stern, and he said, "Hurry up and get on duty." ”

The disciples quickly stood in a line, and Zhang Liang had already walked in with his hands in tow.

"The third master is good."

Zhang Liang turned around and said, "How are you preparing for your homework?" The art of sword fighting is an important practice among the six arts of Confucianism. What is the purpose of our swordsmanship? Zisi, you answer. ”

Zisi stepped forward, saluted Zhang Liang, and said, "Confucian swordsmanship is bright and fair. Those who practice swords, the sword is like its person, the gentleman is frank, and the way of the sword is upright; Villains are relatives. The sword goes off the rails. ”

Zhang Liang nodded, expressed his appreciation, and said, "What is the purpose of Confucian sword training?" Zicong. ”

"Practicing swordsmanship is not for the sake of being fierce and ruthless, the key is that practicing swords is like practicing the body, and cultivating swords is like cultivating the mind. If the heart is upright, you can cultivate yourself and your family, and then govern the country and the world. ”

"What is the key to Confucian sword strength? Ziyu. ”

Shao Yu was full of confidence and said: "The so-called "Xinyada" has three keys: faith is to be accurate and impartial in the sword; Ya is free and easy, not vicious; Da is the sword as you like. The momentum is lightning fast, and the opponent does not have any room for manoeuvre. ”

Zhang Liang showed a look of satisfaction on his face and said, "Ziyu can also combine his own understanding in addition to the formula, and he can say it very well. ”

Tianming was strange in his heart, and thought: "This guy didn't see how hard he worked, he played around after class, how can he say that the head is the Tao?" ”

At this time, Zhang Liang's eyes shot towards him, and Tianming felt a chill behind him. I kept praying in my heart: "Ah, I can't recite so many formulas, don't call me, don't ......"

"Ziming."

"Ugh. At. ”

"Judging by your confident appearance, you must already know the purpose of these written mantras, don't you?"

"Huh? Ah, yes......" Tianming had to bite the bullet.

"So. You don't have to memorize it anymore. ”

"Really?!" Tianming didn't expect joy to fall from the sky, and couldn't help but smile.

"You and Zimu together, let's show everyone how to fight."

Tianming heard the word "actual combat". The joy suddenly seemed to be poured on a basin of cold water, and because of Zhang Liang's majesty, he had to take a step and walk out of the queue.

Zhang Liang looked at Tianming's clothes and frowned.

Tianming said embarrassedly: "This dress is so weird, I can't wear it well." ”

Zhang Liang walked in front of Tianming, squatted down, tied the knot of Tianming's belt, and said, "You have to put on your clothes well, and this knot on your belt must be tied." ”

Tianming pursed his lips and said, "It's just that this knot is particularly troublesome." ”

"Do you know what this knot is called?"

Tianming shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Zimu, come and tell Ziming."

Zimu was confident, shook his head and said: "This knot is called "Rite Knot". Zi said: If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand. Tidying up your clothes every day is also to remind yourself that being born in heaven and earth is polite and courteous, so that you can have the foundation of your life. ”

Zhang Liang nodded, turned his head and asked Tianming, and said, "Ziming, do you understand?" ”

Tianming touched his head and said, "It's a little ...... Confused......"

When all the disciples heard Tianming's words, they all laughed, and Zhang Liang also smiled slightly and said, "There is progress." It seems to understand whether you understand or not, it is better than not knowing anything. However, after a while, you can't be confused. ”

Tianming picked a wooden sword and stood against Zimu.

At this time, the bamboo board sounded, Zi Mu hugged the sword and saluted Tianming, but Tianming didn't know what etiquette was, holding the wooden sword, and rushed over with a "whew", seeing that Zi Mu had not yet reacted, he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and was about to split head-on, Zi Mu suddenly realized, raised the wooden sword, and stabbed it in Tianming's heart.

"It hurts, it hurts me!" Tianming touched his chest and grinned in pain.

Zimu snorted and said, "Who made you rude and plotted?" This trick is the punishment given to you. ”

"You're a fool! I'm not ready, it doesn't count! ”

Zi Mu smiled coldly and said, "Then are you ready now?" ”

Tianming took a deep breath, rushed straight over with a sword in both hands, and Shao Yu, who was on the side, shook his head and thought, "There are too many flaws." ”

Sure enough, Zimu waited until Tianming approached, and suddenly his figure moved, and he had already come behind Tianming.

Tianming was taken aback, and was about to turn back, only to feel that his head was "buzzing", and he had been knocked hard by Zimu, and suddenly felt frivolous under his feet, and fell backwards.

Zi Mu walked up to Tianming proudly and said, "Hmph." This trick is called "courtesy exchange". ”

Tianming suffered two losses in a row, and he was annoyed in his heart, and shouted: "I want to give you a gift too!" Then his figure flashed, and he raised his sword and slashed at Zimu.

Zimu smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to accept it." ”

"If you don't take it, you have to take it!"

While speaking, Tianming had already come to Zi Mu, Zi Mu took a step back, blocked the horizontal sword, and then shook his wrist and stirred the wooden sword in Tianming's hand a few times. Tianming felt a pain in his wrist, and the wooden sword came out of his hand.

"This trick is called 'but disrespectful'. It's a good fit for you. ”

The bell rings.

Tianming got up from the ground with difficulty, but he didn't expect to make a mess in class today, which is really unfavorable. Shao Yu looked at Tianming's wolf bèi appearance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

At this time, Zi Si came over and said, "Zi Yu, that Chu State short sword is very good, I like it very much." Thank you very much. ”

Shao Yu waved his hand and said generously: "You're welcome." If you like it, it's fine. ”

"Ziyu, let's go to the beach together." Zi Si Ti yì.

"Okay."

Zi Mu heard the two talking, and also said, "If Zi Yu goes, I will go too." ”

All the disciples of the Mo family also asked to go together, Shaoyu nodded, stabbed Tianming again, and said, "Fool, do you want to go together?" ”

Tianming turned around, a little sour, and said, "They call you when they play, and they never call me." ”

"It doesn't matter. Big brother, I can take you with me. ”

"I don't want to be your sidekick! I'm a dignified Mo family giant......" Before he finished speaking, his mouth was already covered by Shaoyu.

Shao Yu saw everyone's eyes and seemed to be a little suspicious, so he raised his voice. said: "Ziming, we are all Confucian disciples, and we should be based on reading. What do you want those carpenters' saws, hammers, brushes, and so on? He lowered his voice and said in Tianming's ear, "Boy." We're hiding our identities here for everyone's plan. Since you are a giant, you should know what to do. What not to say. ”

Tianming listened to Shaoyu's words and nodded.

Shaoyu raised his voice again and said, "Did you say, classmate Ziming?" ”

"What you say is very reasonable, Ziyu-san."

"Classmate Ziming, I'll leave first for my brother. Virtuous brother must not neglect his academic work. ”

"Brother Ziyu, please."

"Brother Xian, please stay."

"Brother, let's go."

Tianming watched Shao Yu and the disciples talking and laughing, but he was alone, and suddenly a feeling of loneliness hit his heart.

Zicong remembered what Tianming said just now, and said to everyone: "That guy just now, suddenly said what carpenters, saws, and brushes, Ziming, this fool is really funny, hahaha!" ”

Zisi said: "But don't say it, I was really shocked when I heard it." ”

Shao Yu's heart moved, and he said, "Oh, what's wrong? ”

"Songhai Street is plastered with wanted notices, all of them are terrible rebels. Among them is the Mo family giant. The carpenter saw that Ziming said sounds very close to the Mo family giant. Isn't that scary? ”

Shao Yu laughed dryly and said, "So that's the case, it's really funny." ”

Zicong said again: "Oh, by the way, I heard that there are two teenagers on the latest wanted notice. One of them is a little similar to Ziyu. ”

Zisi slapped Zicong and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Pull Ziyu and the rebels together. ”

Zicong knew that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ziyu, don't be angry. ”

Shao Yu smiled and said, "It's just a joke, it's okay." If I am a rebel, then you will be in trouble. ”

When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.

Tianming stayed alone for a while, feeling extremely bored, walked out of the academy, wandered around, and suddenly heard someone talking. "Tell you honestly, are you deaf?"

"Dumb, I've never heard him speak."

"Hurry up and be honest, or I'll send you to the government! Do you hear that? ”

Tianming approached and saw that a group of Mo family disciples were surrounding one person, and they were menacing. Tianming looked at it, and it turned out to be the little girl Shilan who was with Ding Fatzi.

Tianming was originally unaccustomed to this group of Mo family disciples, but when he saw that they were bullying others, for some reason, a sense of anger suddenly appeared, and he strode in front of everyone and shouted: "Hey, stop it!" It's too much for so many people to bully one!

Zi Mu turned his head when he heard this, squinted his eyes, and said sarcastically: "Isn't this a carpenter's brush, Ziming Daxia?" ”

When everyone heard Zimu's words, they all laughed.

Tianming ignored the ridicule of everyone, snorted, and said, "Do you still claim to be gentlemen, I think you are a scoundrel at all!" ”

Zimu sneered and said, "Do you know who this guy behind you is?" ”

"Huh? Who? ”

"He is a spy sent by the Yin and Yang family to murder Confucianism!"

"What did you say?"

"A few days ago, the second master and the third master found out that the Yin and Yang family secretly left a mark in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, obviously with bad intentions towards our Confucianism!"

Tianming asked unconvinced: "That...... So what? ”

"We found out two days ago that this guy is sneaky and suspicious. So I made a special surveillance. Hmph, as expected. ”

"What's wrong?"

"I found that this guy secretly left the secret code of the Yin and Yang family under the tree!"

Tianming turned his head and asked Shi Lan, "Is it true?" You...... Is it a spy of the Yin and Yang family? ”

"You ask him what's the use, and of course he won't admit it."

Tianming looked at Shi Lan's eyes and said, "You said that you are not, I believe you." ”

"I'm sure he's not!"

Zi Mu said suddenly: "If you believe him in this way, you are too easy to deceive." ”

Tianming raised his head and said, "You say that he is a spy of the Yin and Yang family, what proof do you have?" ”

"This spy is very cunning, and as soon as we find out, we immediately erase the code left behind. If you don't believe me, you ask him to put his hand out and see if there is any red powder. ”

Tianming looked at Shi Lan and asked, "Can you take a look?" ”

Shi Lan seemed to hesitate a little, and finally reached out with the back of her hand up.

Zimu said: "Put your palms up and spread them out to see clearly." ”

Shi Lan flicked her hand away, but it was empty.

"The other hand!"

Shi Lan flicked both hands away, but she couldn't see the red powder Zimu said.

Zi Mu was annoyed and ashamed, and shouted: "It must be the Yin and Yang family's witchcraft, creating a blinding method." Arrest him! ”

Tianming stood in front of Shi Lan and said, "Don't come over!" ”

Zi Mu knew the details of Tianming, and said with a smile: "It seems that your ability to resist fighting is not bad." Grab both guys! Hum! ”

As soon as the words fell, Tianming only felt that a group of figures flew in front of him, and when he looked at it, except for Zimu, all the disciples had been defeated, and there were wails.

Although Tianming hadn't understood it yet, there was a good opportunity to escape in front of him, so he took Shi Lan's hand and said, "Come, run!" ”

The two of them ran wildly all the way, and finally shook off the disciples, so they stopped.

Tianming was out of breath, but it was rare to do a good thing, and he couldn't help but feel comfortable.

I only heard Shi Lan say coldly: "You can let go of my hand." ”

Tianming realized that he was still holding Shi Lan's hand, and hurriedly let go, but he felt a little strange, and said, "Hehe, your hand is so small, a bit like a girl's hand." Suddenly, he scratched his head and said, "Alas, their group of scoundrels, teach them a lesson next time!" You don't have to thank me. ”

Shi Lan was still expressionless, turned around and walked away.

……………………

After that, on the night, for the first time in Shaoyu's life, he had a heart-beating feeling, and under the crystal moonlight, Shi Lan's beautiful face was deeply engraved in Shaoyu's soul, and it was difficult to erase it again.

But today, people are things and things, and the once happy place and peaceful place are gone forever. (To be continued......)
