Chapter 18: The Orchid Blooms

Little Sage Village, Wendao Academy.

Following.

Tianming's defeat of Gongsun Linglong yesterday 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 checked the list of disciples and named them one by one.

"To-" Tianming heard Ziyou's voice, screamed and rushed over from five zhang away, everyone saw his wolf bรจi appearance, and couldn't help laughing Tianming hurriedly walked into the door, but he didn't expect that there was a food box on the ground, he couldn't hold his feet for a while, he was tripped by the food box, and the whole person flew forward and 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 and said to Fu Nian: "Master, the roll call is complete, and the disciples are here." โ€

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? โ€

"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?" โ€

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?" โ€

Fat Ding waved his hand and said, "Forget it." โ€

"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? โ€

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." โ€

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

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and did not speak.

Yan Lu knew that this junior brother was a little eccentric, so he didn't care, and said, "Let's go." โ€

The two walked for a while, Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly lit up, squatted down, pushed the grass in front of him, and saw a blood-red yin and yang Taiji pattern painted on a big stone.

"This is the symbol of the Yin-Yang family." Zhang Liang said.

Yan Lu shook his head and said, "I can't be sure yet, but what is certain is that this symbol must be related to the Yin and Yang Family." โ€

Everyone left, and a black-robed man quietly appeared, black-clothed and covered with blood-colored runes, but such a costume was rare.

I could only hear the man whisper softly, "Miss Shilan is fine, it's time to explore Fusu's foundation next." โ€

"Zihong, Zihong, you really give me a problem."

The voice fell, and the figure had disappeared.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

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." โ€

"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." โ€

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. โ€

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; The villain is related, and the sword is deflected. โ€

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

"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. โ€

"What is the key to Confucian sword strength? Ziyu. โ€

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 Ze's sword is as fast as it can be, and it does not allow the opponent to have any room for maneuver. โ€

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. โ€

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?" โ€

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

"Ziming."

"Uh, yes."

"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."

"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."

When Tianming heard the word "actual combat", he was overjoyed and suddenly seemed to be poured 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." โ€

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." โ€

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

"Do you know what this knot is called?"

Tianming shook his head and said, "I don't know." โ€

"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. โ€

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

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. โ€

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. โ€

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

Zi Mu smiled coldly and said, "Then are you ready now?" โ€

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." โ€

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". โ€

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." โ€

"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, stirring 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. โ€

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 bรจi 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. โ€

Shao Yu waved his hand and said generously: "You're welcome, if you like it." โ€

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

"Okay."

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

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?" โ€

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

"It's okay, 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.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Shao Yu seemed to be a little suspicious, so he raised his voice and said, "Classmate 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? Instead, he lowered his voice and said in Tianming's ear: "Boy, we are hiding our identities here for everyone's plan. Since you are a giant, you should know what to do and what not to say. โ€

Tianming listened to Shaoyu's words and nodded.

Shaoyu raised his voice again and said, "Did you say, classmate Ziming?" โ€

"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. โ€

"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!" โ€

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

Shao Yu's heart moved, and he said, "Oh, what's wrong? โ€

"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? โ€

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

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. โ€

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

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

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

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? โ€

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?" โ€

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!" โ€

Zimu sneered and said, "Do you know who this guy behind you is?" โ€

"Huh? Who? โ€

"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? โ€

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

"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? โ€

"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." โ€

"I'm sure he's not!"

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

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

"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. โ€

Tianming looked at Shi Lan and asked, "Can you take a look?" โ€

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." โ€

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! โ€

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

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! โ€

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!" โ€

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." โ€

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. โ€

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