The night breeze blew, and the stars were dark in the sky. In the courtyard of the county town, which had become silent, with a few clicks, the door was closed, and only a few rays of light oozed through the cracks. Although Zhou Dong's kick was strong, the direction was accurate, Lin Chong's back happened to hit between the two door panels, only the door latch was broken, and Fu Lu found a wooden stick to replace it and bolted the door.

When he turned around, the old man who had been angry before was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding a teacup and waiting for the tea cooked on the stove next to him. Fu Lu went over and picked the fire: "Actually...... Senior Brother Lin is indeed having a hard time......"

The old man, who was angry before, shook his head at this time, but it did not mean that he was negative, but that he seemed a little interested. He held the small teacup, closed his eyes and thought about it. The courtyard was quiet for a long time before Zhou Dong spoke.

"That year, among the several disciples I accepted, Lin Chong was the most talented, he danced the best, and he won the most among his brothers and sisters." The old man raised his head slightly, speaking at an unhappy pace, and was also recalling, "He has a good relationship with everyone, and he also has dealings with you." But among those disciples, I don't like him, Lin Chong doesn't know about this, but you asked me...... Do you remember? ”

Fu Lu thought for a while and nodded: "Remember, at that time, the master, you just admitted the matter, but did not say the reason, I always thought that Senior Brother Lin had some misconduct in private to let Master you know the way, I had alienated him for a while, and I often observed in secret, and later found that Senior Brother Lin's character was not bad, I just thought that it was the master that you misunderstood something." ”

"You're the senior brother to all of them. With me for the longest time, you can naturally see my likes and dislikes, but you guessed wrong about this matter. It's just that at the time, I can't say, but now do you see it? ”

"It's Senior Brother Lin's temperament...... Too cowardly? ”

"To be able to fall all the way to the grass and kill so many people, you can't say that you are cowardly." Zhou Tong shook his head and opened his eyes, "In his heart, there is a knife missing." ”

Hear that. Fu Lu hesitated: "I remember that time. You've been saying that martial artists want to hide their swords......"

"Yes, those who practice martial arts should hide their swords." Zhou Tong sighed, and the tea was already boiling at this time. He took the kettle down and began pouring tea. In the courtyard late at night. The smell of boiling tea filled the air, "At the beginning, I taught the Imperial Boxing Gym, among the disciples. It's all fierce and ruthless. If you use force to fight and kill, what do I teach? So although Shi Wengong's martial arts skills are high, I really don't like him. Well, Shi Wengong, his name has history, Wen, and Gong, I thought he was a person with a humble temperament. And although Lin Chong has the word chong in his name, it is actually the other way around. ”

The teapot was put down: "Back then, it was also because I didn't want people who practiced martial arts to mess around, I told my disciples to hide the sword, and even told them that they had to give three points when they couldn't bear it, because they always felt that they couldn't bear it anymore when they could still bear it." But Lin Chong grew up in a rich land since he was a child, and although his understanding is high, he also knew the rules early on. So he has a high talent in martial arts, and I only say that he is a good fighter. I was angry, I said that I hid a knife, but if there is no knife in my heart, what is a person who practices martial arts? Lin Chong was too regular, so I didn't like it either, but at the time, I didn't say it very well. ”

The old man's words stopped in the wind. Fu Lu thought for a while and sighed: "Actually, Senior Brother Lin was also very righteous and heroic at that time, so everyone liked him......"

Zhou Tong shook his head: "Righteous and heroic, that's not a knife, it's just a person's temperament." Master Tan once told me that in the good world, the literati have a ruler in their hearts, which they use to measure the hearts of the people in the world and determine the rules, and in the hearts of the martial artists, they must have a knife, which is too sharp, but it is not good, when those rules are old and not suitable, the world has gone wrong, and the martial artists have to cut it off with a knife, so that there are new rules. ”

He looked down at the tea in the teacup: "This is the case, because people who practice martial arts have the most sensitive heart, and they are angry and blood splashed ten steps." The knife in people's hearts is the blood of conscience, and if it is right, it is right and wrong. The literati set the rules, but they only tinkered, and they had a bunch of reasons for doing something wrong. But conscience is the most direct, and if he is wrong, something must be wrong, and he should break the rules of making him better! Therefore, heroism is not a knife, the knife is right or wrong, it is wisdom and bravery, and it is the rules of killing! ”

"The world is forced to be helpless, and they all go to the mountains to become bandits? Because everybody does, that's not a knife! Going with the flow is not a knife, doing what others can't do and dare not do is a knife! I remember morality in my heart, but every day I say that it is not the knife that I am forced to be helpless, although the righteousness is where there are tens of millions of people, and I go to the knife! Lin Chong has no knife in his heart, he was forced to be like that, he still only dares to live in the rules, because he knows the way, he is forced to go up the mountain to be a bandit, that is the rule, and when he goes up the mountain to be a bandit, he will kill innocents indiscriminately, that is the rule, and if there are rules, he only follows the rules. Hey, he killed people and rebelled, and he didn't even want the emperor Lao Tzu anymore, but he didn't have the courage to break the rules in his heart. What's the use of his martial arts no matter how good he is...... Waste one! ”

The old man drank the tea and put down the cup, and there was obvious anger in his half-white beard. Fu Lu nodded silently, but also sighed in his heart. Although the old man said that he didn't like Lin Chong the most, in fact, after learning about Lin Chong, what he did for Senior Brother Lin was far beyond some other senior brothers, including opening up with Ning Liheng to let him let this disciple live a way, Fu Lu could also see that the old man actually didn't like Ning Liheng very much, with the old man's strict and clear personality, this opening is also a favor.

Just like when he first learned of Shi Wengong's death, the old man only snorted lightly and didn't care about him anymore. In retrospect, although Senior Brother Lin's heart was weak, he grew up smoothly as a young man, married like a beautiful flower, and became a leader in the forbidden army. At this time, the old man was angry, but he was also angry at the evil of the world.

The night was dark, and the old man sat in the courtyard for a while, when suddenly a bird flew in. Fu Lu stretched out his hand to catch the bird, nodded at Zhou Tong and said something, and then extinguished the light. The master and servant left the courtyard and went all the way to the grove outside the county seat. Soon after, four more figures came, the first was a middle-aged woman, followed by the three behind him, the first one was dressed as Yu Hou, and the two followers followed. When the four of them came over, Zhou Tong and Fu Lu were standing by the small pond in the forest, and the middle-aged woman came over and called, "Master." Zhou Tong nodded, and Yu Hou, who was behind the broken knife, hurriedly came over to pay respects.

"Lu Qian has seen Grandmaster Zhou. It's already so late. Call me to wait ......"

"No gossip." Zhou Tong's figure turned his back to this side and waved his hand, "What Captain Gao explained has been done." ”

"Ahh Nan Ning and Lu are really ......"

"The old man has another thing. I want to ask Lu Yuhou to tell Lord Taiwei. You come here, I talk to you. ”

"Yes."

Zhou Dong is the first person in the world and has an arrogant temperament. Since we met, I didn't have a good attitude towards my own people. Lu Qian was interrupted by him several times, and he didn't think it was strange, he arched his hand and went over, stopping behind Zhou Dong's side. Zhou Tong put his hands behind his back, looked at the silence in the night for a moment, and finally spoke: "In Bianliang City, the son of Gao Yu calls himself Huahua Tai Sui, and the woman he likes is all taken captive by you, right?" ”

Lu Qian was slightly stunned.

"Lin Chong and you were originally friends, but Hua Hua Tai Sui fell in love with his wife, and you also designed it for you, right?"

Lu Qian saw Zhou Tong turn around, looking at him like a tiger in his eyes, arching his hands, and subconsciously wanted to take a step out under his feet: "In the next ......"

"Shameless!"

Zhou Tong waved his palm and slapped it, at that moment, Lu Qian's feet wanted to move, and his arm wanted to be raised to block it, but everything failed to become a reality, in the eyes of everyone, Zhou Tong raised his palm and slapped it lightly on the top of Lu Qian's head, and Lu Qian's body shook.

“…… How can I keep you? ”

When the words fell, Lu Qian's body knelt down, and then fell down with a bang. Not far away, Lu Qian's two followers looked at the battle: "You, you...... You killed ......"

"Wen Ying, Fu Lu, kill them and deal with them." Zhou Tong straightened his sleeves, turned around with his hands behind his back and left, Fu Lu's figure did not move, the middle-aged woman named Wen Ying shook her hand, and two darts were inserted into the heads of the two, Zhou Tong stopped, turned his head, and the figure had already fallen: "Oh, this matter of Lu Qian's death, try not to let people know the truth, don't publicize it." ”

Fu Lu arched his hand and said, "Yes." After explaining this, Zhou Tong left abruptly. The woman named Wen Ying tilted her head: "The person who killed the Taiwei Mansion naturally can't let people know the way, so why should the master give special orders." Her name is Zuo Wenying, and she and Fu Lu were originally Zhou Tong's servants, and the two have become husband and wife. Fu Lu said: "Senior Brother Fang Cai Lin has come and let the master beat him away." Master has seen this Lu Yuhou now, so naturally he can't let him go back and harm others, but let Senior Brother Lin know that the revenge of Lu Dao has not been avenged, and Xu Neng has some motivation. ”

Zuo Wenying shook his head: "You said that Senior Brother Lin is good, but I don't look down on him, his family is ruined, and he only knows how to go up the mountain as a bandit!" How can such a person be said to be a man! ”

Fu Lu sighed: "Master said the same. In the woods, the corpse was packed in a sack, mixed with stones and sunk to the bottom of the lake, and while he was doing, he told his wife about the process of Lin Chong's visit to Zhou Dong. I can't help but sigh a little.

"Alas, Senior Brother Lin has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has practiced martial arts well, but he is actually a person who has no desires, but he is against the outside and suddenly suffers bad luck. Although the master said it well, seeing that Senior Brother Lin has such a temperament, he also has the intention of sharpening, but this tempering may not be able to withstand ordinary people. It is difficult to say whether he will survive or not, but if he can tell him clearly what Master said later, he may be able to live a little longer......

"He has been forced to such an extent that he can't realize himself, if he just says something, where can he help him, even if he has understanding, it is not his own! I see, your temperament is that of a mother-in-law. Zuo Wenying pursed her lips and shook her head, "If you look at me, you didn't think about it at all, and most importantly, you didn't think about it at all." ”

"Huh?" Fu Lu frowned and looked at his wife.

"Because he is a disciple of Zhou Dong!" Zuo Wenying kicked the sack into the lake, raised his chin, stared at him, and was categorical, "He is the disciple of the first person in the world!" How can you feel sorry for yourself all day long, and ask others to coax and persuade you! He is a disciple of his master and has learned his master's martial arts! In the face of these things, how can he retreat and be weak, so what pity is there for him to die! Who hasn't had a hard time, haven't you and me? My family was also dead! He is a disciple of Zhou Dong, so he should know that Lu Dao can do anything when he encounters this matter, he can hide, but he shouldn't be a bandit! He is a disciple of Zhou Dong, so why can't he ask for more! Thinking about right and wrong all day long, not forgetting morality, and thinking about being forced to do evil things all day long! It's all about talking about it and thinking about it in your heart, so if you want to die, you will die! Hum! ”

Fu Lu looked at his wife who was talking arrogantly, gradually laughed, and nodded: "Sure enough...... It's you who know Master's personality best, and I really think about it. No wonder everyone says that you are a woman who does not let you shave your eyebrows, but my temperament is a little soft, as the master said, there is no knife in my heart, this is not good......"

He made this review of his wife, and heard him praise himself, although they had been married for many years, the woman's face was also slightly red, but fortunately she could not see clearly in the dark.

"You have a knife in your heart, I know the way of this." After a while, he added, "Master also knows the Tao." ”

**************

This night passed quietly, and the next morning, more people came over one after another, and Ning Yi dealt with the plan of how to sweep the area of Zhuxi and Anping, and occasionally went to see the red grapes. At noon on this day, Zhou Dong's master and servant left from Yiyuan County, but before leaving, he seemed to say something to Hongti, which made Hongti a little sullen......
