Hall.

Old lady Jiang sat on the main seat, closed her eyes and recuperated, steady as a rock. The others sat on either side, and the two old men were as calm as they were, drinking tea silently. The young people looked worried and anxious, and they didn't have the heart to drink tea, and looked out from time to time, but in front of the elders, they didn't dare to speak up.

Footsteps sounded outside, Old Lady Jiang got up to greet him, the others followed, and the young man had changed his face and changed his smile.

"The two sons can't help it, there are only some coarse tea and light rice in the small place, forgive me, forgive me. Old lady Jiang said gently.

"The old man is too polite, if this is all coarse tea and light rice, then if we can eat it every day, we will be happy. Zu Zhenlin joked.

"Oh, since the son likes it, then you might as well stay for a few more days, so that the old man can enjoy the friendship of the landlord. Old lady Jiang smiled.

"Thank you for your kindness, but the academy has a task, so I don't dare to delay, I'm sorry. Zu Zhenlin politely refused.

"It's okay, it's okay, of course it's the Academy's mission. ”

"Father, let's invite the two sons to sit down and talk. An old man in the back reminded loudly.

Old lady Jiang patted her head and said apologetically: "Old confused, old confused, please sit down, two sons." ”

Everyone sat down, and the next person served tea again.

After the old lady Jiang and Zu Zhenlin drank the tea, she said softly: "I don't know the names of the two sons, I don't know if you can tell me?"

"Old man, my name is Zu Zhenlin. ”

"Old man, my name is Li Cao. ”

Old lady Jiang nodded, but did not praise the good name against his will, and asked: "Ancestor Gongzi and Li Gongzi came from afar, they must be very tired now, it is better to rest for two days, and then do it after recuperating their spirits, how about it?"

The young man with an impatient temperament below heard that the old lady was going to let people rest for two days, although he still had a smile on his face, but his eyes couldn't help but show worry, and he looked at Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao in unison.

Jiang Yunhong stood up and said, "Old lady, grandfather, Li Gongzi, I have a proposal, you can't listen to it." ”

Old Lady Jiang nodded, "Okay, you say." ”

Jiang Yunhong suggested: "It's still early now, and the two sons have just finished eating, isn't it common people have a saying that a hundred steps after a meal, live to ninety-nine, of course, this sentence definitely does not apply to the two sons, but it is still good to take a walk." So I want to take the two sons to see the opponent first, even if I don't do it, I can do it in my heart, so as not to really fight in a hurry, I don't know what the two sons think?"

Zu Zhenlin looked at Li Cao and saw that he had no objection, so he said, "Okay, let's go and see first." ”

Old lady Jiang got up and clasped her fists with both hands, "It's really troublesome for the two sons, I don't know how many people you need?"

Zu Zhenlin smiled, "Old man, let's go and have a look first, we don't need too many people, so let's send someone to show us the way." ”

Old lady Jiang pointed at Jiang Yunhong, "Grandfather, what do you think of Hong'er?"

Zu Zhenlin said: "As long as Jiang Gongzi is willing, I have no opinion." ”

"Then Hong'er, you and the two sons will go on a trip, be careful, don't make a mistake and make people angry. Old lady Jiang advised.

"My grandson understood. Jiang Yunhong replied.

Old lady Jiang wanted to send him out of the house, but Zu Zhenlin hurriedly stopped him, "Old man stay, we are juniors, we dare not bother you so much." ”

Old lady Jiang was as kind as a stream, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I won't send it." ”

Jiang Yunhong led Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao out of Jiang's mansion.

After Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao walked away, an old man behind Old Lady Jiang spoke: "Father, do you think they can do it?"

Old lady Jiang said softly: "If it doesn't work, you have to let people try it to know." ”

"Well, I really don't know what Hu'er thinks? How can my own cultivation compare to the family foundation, what if it is delayed for two days? Now that I have found two outsiders, what if I know the secrets of the family and see the treasure?" another old man said worriedly.

Old lady Jiang lowered her face and said, "That's why I told you to calm down and stay quiet." You little ones, you haven't said a few words yet, what are you anxious about? Do you always tell you to be impatient, to cultivate oneself and to cultivate one's temperament, and to be the wind in your ears?"

A few small ones whispered, "Don't dare." ”

Old Lady Jiang instructed: "After the people come back, you are not allowed to come to the side." Forget it, let me go back to the house and write, and I won't be allowed to come out if I don't call it. ”

A few small ones didn't dare to refute and retreated to the house, but all of them had sad faces.

After the little one was gone, the old lady Jiang turned his head and taught his son a lesson, "How can you say it in front of the children, doesn't this make them make trouble between their brothers? Okay, go about your own business, I'm tired, I'm going to rest. ”

---

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao followed Jiang Yunhong out of the village and walked towards the mountains.

Jiang Yunhong said as he walked, "Brother Grand, Brother Li, you two are really at the right time, today is the day to catch the market, the market is not far from us, and it will not disperse until the morning, and when the matter is dealt with, I will take you to go shopping." Let me tell you, there are a lot of delicious things in the market, especially a stall selling duck blood soup must try it, his duck blood soup is a must, even my grandfather has to eat a bowl every three or five days. ”

Zu Zhenlin said with interest: "In this case, you must eat it." ”

The mountain stream is gurgling and crystal clear.

Jiang Yunhong introduced: "This is a spring flowing from a spring in the mountain, sweet and sweet. People in the village can't live without it, perhaps because of the special spring water, and the people here live longer than other places. When Grandpa Tai returned to his hometown, he bought a recipe for brewing wine from the capital, and the wine brewed from this spring water was even better. Because the two of them came from afar, hungry, they must have wanted to fill their stomachs first, so I didn't let people serve wine at that time. When you get home, you two can try it, it's definitely not bad. ”

"No wonder the tea I drank today is a little different, Jiang Gongzi said this, I want to drink a few sips of wine. However, neither of us knows much about wine, so we may not be able to taste good or bad, so don't be surprised by Jiang Gongzi then. Zu Zhenlin said with a smile.

Jiang Yunhong waved his hand, "Brother Zu laughed. Actually, I don't really like to drink, but only occasionally. ”

The three of them walked for almost an hour and climbed three hills. Jiang Yunhong was panting and sweating. Originally, Zu Zhenlin wanted to rest for a while, but Jiang Yunhong did not agree, saying that he would delay going to the market and not be able to drink duck blood soup.

The cemetery of the Jiang family, surrounded by pines and cypresses, is lush and verdant.

There were still dozens of zhang away, Jiang Yunhong stopped and reminded: "Ancestor, Brother Li, in front is the burial place of my family's ancestors, and the evil monkey is inside, alas, I don't know where it came from." Be careful, though, normally, it won't rush out to attack. But there is also something special, unexpectedly came out once, and that shot was serious, my two very powerful brothers were seriously injured, and twelve people were killed and injured in the nursing home. ”

Zu Zhenlin asked, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" ”

Jiang Yunhong replied: "There are all ancestors inside, I hope not to disturb them, I know that some strong people are difficult, just try to control the damage to the minimum." There is also a small tree growing next to the graves of two ancestors, which is said to be beneficial to future generations, and if you can, I hope you don't destroy them. My Jiang family must remember the great kindness of my son, and I will be grateful. ”

"Yes, I see. Does Jiang Gongzi want to follow us in?" Zu Zhenlin asked.

Jiang Yunhong looked surprised, "Can I go in?" If I can, of course I hope to go in and have a look. ”

Zu Zhenlin said: "Okay, then you follow us, don't run around." ”

Jiang Yunhong promised: "Definitely." ”

Zu Zhenlin was in front, Li Cao and Jiang Yunhong followed behind, and slowly entered the Jiang family cemetery. I saw a monkey with a snow-white body and a golden head standing on a small tree, baring its teeth and barking constantly. The monkey is no more than three feet tall and has a thin body. The small tree it occupies has a straight trunk, no leafy branches, and small white flowers growing on it, which looks unremarkable.

Jiang Yunhong looked at Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao vaguely, and seeing that they didn't react, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Zu, Brother Li, do you know this monkey, do you need to find a few more people to help?"

Zu Zhenlin shook his head, thought for a moment, had been away from home for many years, and the things he remembered back then were a little vague for a while, especially the content about beast control.

Seeing that the people did not retreat, the monkey became more and more irritable, suddenly jumped up from the tree, his body was as light as a swallow, and he jumped directly across the distance of two zhang, and two or three vertical jumps came to Zu Zhenlin, and the five sharp claws were shining like steel knives, and they grabbed at the throat.

Jiang Yunhong was taken aback and couldn't help shouting, "Be careful." ”

Zu Zhenlin had already run the exercises, and the flow of spiritual energy in his body did not stagnate at all, and a punch of 'thunder rage' was struck, and the punch was fierce. The monkey was very alert, flicked its tail, wrapped itself around Zhenlin's arm, and then swung, dodging its fist, and came to the top of Zhenlin's head, opening its mouth, revealing sharp teeth, trying to bite its head.

Zu Zhenlin used his body method of 'ten steps' to fly away from it. At the same time, the two fingers were put together to make a sword technique, and a gray sword qi quickly stabbed out, bringing up a trace of blood. The monkey screamed and fell from the air, convulsing a few times and not moving.

Jiang Yunhong was dumbfounded.

Zu Zhenlin picked up a broken flower from the monkey and looked at it, then threw it on the ground.

Jiang Yunhong came back to his senses, seeing this, his eyes were dark and difficult to see, and he immediately praised: "Brother Zu is really amazing, dozens of us have no way to take this monkey, I didn't expect you to solve it in an instant as soon as you made a move, and kept the tomb of my ancestors, great kindness, my Jiang family will definitely repay it." ”

Zu Zhenlin said indifferently: "Jiang Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, I am entrusted by others, and I am loyal to people." ”
