Let go of Shen Gui and Bai Wenyan, who are fighting a guide battle in Taniguchi, not to mention it, just talk about the man in white who sat on the mountain with Bai Wenyan and watched the tiger fight.

This person followed Bai Wenyan and jumped out of the cave one after another, but the direction was completely different; He spread his hands flat, like a goshawk, and swooped down quickly towards the depths of the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, and landed steadily in front of the gate of the Sea Mountain Palace.

This sea and mountain hall is located in the deepest part of the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows; On the fifteenth day of the new year, the disciples of Jianchi will gather here to burn incense and worship the spirit of the ancestor Yue Haishan. Therefore, the sea and mountain hall is lit up all the year round, and there is a 'statue of thirteen sons' shaped by a mud tire in the middle of the square.

This statue of Yue Haishan was shaped by the cooperation of thirteen of his personal disciples; After the completion of this statue that year, Gu Jie, the eldest disciple with the highest rank, did not put the eye on his own blood and ink, but handed over this supreme honor to his third junior brother.

And the third junior brother who is responsible for putting the finishing touches on the statue of Master Zu is the man in white who can stand side by side with Yue Haishan today - Jiang Xiaolou.

In fact, from this name alone, a lot of information about him has been revealed.

First of all, the Jiang family is one of the oldest royal surnames in the Huayu Continent, and according to legend, they are still descendants of Shennong. Because the Huayu Continent in the ancient period was a matriarchal society, most of the clans with female characters in the surnames were famous families with a long history and profound heritage.

However, it is somewhat strange that although this third disciple of Yue Haishan, Jiang Xiaolou, has such a noble surname; But the name of Xiaolou seems a little humble and lowly. Because according to the tradition of Huayu Continent, all the noble surnames that take a single word as the name must be the blood of the relatives from the main room; On the contrary, if it is called a double character, most of them are from the side room, or from the side of relatives.

Moreover, in the real names of the children of famous families, there are many taboo words, which are inauspicious and ominous when touched, and their identities are naturally more humble. And this 'small' word is also among many taboo words.

Of course, the name of the milk taken by the elders of the family is completely free from taboo restrictions; The words given to students by the teacher are also different rules and taboos.

In fact, in this day and age, even many of the great Confucians of the present who are supposed to specialize in this way have slowly forgotten, or do not know that there is such a taboo; Only those unscrupulous descendants who had been illustrious and glorious in their ancestors, but they couldn't even mix food and clothing, would always hold this pedantic old rule as their last bit of pride and dignity!

This kind of behavior is really pitiful and foolish.

However, the name Xiaolou, even today, the heirs of serious people will never choose; Because most of the names that sound quite beautiful and elegant are the stage names given to them by those who are inferior to the ninth; This kind of name can not only attract the patrons and benefactors to want to join Feifei, but also hide their real names, cover their ears and steal the bell, as if they were 'falling into the dust', insulting the ancestors, and ashamed of the ancestors......

So from this point of view, the name Xiaolou, along with peony, jasmine, red sleeves, etc., can all be grouped together.

And today's Jiang Xiaolou Jiang Sanye is a serious descendant of the Jiang family, whose ancestors have lived near Bashu Road in Jiang's hometown for generations.

The passage of time, the white clouds and dogs, the so-called thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, although this Bashu Road was originally the ancestral property of the Jiang family, but with the baptism of war over the years and the frequent alternation of royal power, their Jiang family has now become no different from ordinary people. And this Jiang Xiaolou Jiang Young Master was born in an extremely ordinary, or rather poor, family since he was a child.

When he was about six years old, Jiang's father finally succeeded in losing the family's only remaining property, a broken grass house with leaky air on all sides, to a scoundrel in the same village; Even with the house, there is also his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang; and his six-year-old son, Jiang Gui!

It can be seen from the unfortunate name he gave his son alone: this ancestor is extremely noble Uncle Jiang, and he may not have read a few books.

There is no doubt that this scoundrel from the same village who robbed him of his real estate and brought a whole family with him coveted the beauty of Mrs. Jiang's family, so he united with two other scoundrels in the same village to set up a scam for this Jiang's father; Now although the prey has arrived, there is an extra six-year-old boy for no reason! This is really a bit tricky for them! Although Jiang Gui is not very old, he has reached the age of half the size of a child and eats Lao Tzu to death; If a person is not careful, and is eaten to death by this child, then it is called self-inflicted!

In view of this, this scoundrel from the same village entrusted a friend to plant a piece of withered grass in the six-year-old Jiang Gui and send it to the livestock market in Furong City to sell. Coincidentally, a troupe that was invited to come to the Furong City Singing Hall was passing by a steep mountain road when a primary school apprentice fell, and now there is just a lack of a top corner! So the owner of the opera troupe who happened to be passing by, in line with the idea of supplementing talents, bought back this Jiang Gui with beautiful eyebrows and a compliant skeleton at a high price of sixteen taels of silver, and gave him a stage name - Xiaolou.

After buying Jiang Xiaolou, the opera troupe went to the house of the governor of Bashu Road according to the previous plan to sing for the old lady to celebrate her birthday! Unexpectedly, after everyone opened their throats and sang the three-day drama, they were hacked by the chief butler of the governor's mansion and all the labor money; The head of the class kowtowed to him like garlic to plead, but he didn't expect the housekeeper to consciously fold his face, and even took all the costumes, musical instruments, boxes, and mule carts, all of which were burned by him!

After being blasted out of the governor's mansion, the class owner wanted to ask for help from his fellow Jianghu! But at that time, the governor of Bashu Dao had already scraped the ground three feet deep, and the people were already extremely poor, how could Lao He eat a bowl of rice here?

But if you don't have a guy, you can't make money; didn't have a coil in his hand, and he couldn't rush back to Yanjing City; In desperation, the class master had no choice but to bite the bullet and beg Yue Haishan.

Yue Haishan was not an indifferent person, coupled with the fact that he had done black business of killing people and overselling goods in his early years, the silver in his hand was really inexhaustible; But I don't know which shining point on Jiang Xiaolou's body this Black Moon Old Man fell in love with; How much money is missing, he asks the class master to take it as he pleases, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't pay it back; There is only one requirement, that is, he has to leave this six-year-old Jiang Xiaolou in order to serve his own diet and daily life!

In the wind and dust, there will be people of temperament; Don't look at these people, they are all some ninth-rate singers, but since Jiang Xiaolou has already kowtowed to his teacher, it is equivalent to someone in the pear orchard! Therefore, before leaving, the class master deliberately left an old man who was old and couldn't stand the fatigue of running around, and asked him to be responsible for teaching Jiang Xiaolou to sing and play; And this Liyuan old-timer has worked together with the martial arts master Yue Haishan since then, and the two spent ten years finally cultivating a top civil and martial arts student and young swordsman......

It is precisely for this reason that even though Jiang Xiaolou is a native of Bashu, as long as he has one mouth, he speaks very authentic Yanjing dialect......

In terms of age, Jiang Xiaolou, a martial artist who can sing, will be ranked third among the thirteen sons of Jianchi in the future, which is indeed a bit strange; However, when I think of the youngest Gu Ring, he is still ranked first among the thirteen sons! When you think about it this way, there's nothing you can't figure out.

Although they are apprentices of one master, the fate of the thirteen sons of Jianchi is also different: in addition to one of the ten disciples who died young, there are also three scum of Jianchi who just died in the hands of Zhu Yuntao; There are two candidates for power and profit, and they are all destined for the head; There is also a restaurant shopkeeper who simply defected and fled, and his wife and children were hot on the kang; There is a paralyzed man who lives in Furong City all the year round to recuperate, and there are two dragons who see the head and the tail and are unruly by nature!

Among these two people, there is a chivalrous man who ranks eleven. Since Yue Haishan's funeral arrangements were completed, his old man immediately evaporated from the world! Although I have occasionally heard of his deeds on the rivers and lakes, most of them are very unbelievable, and they have nothing to do with the rivers and lakes, chivalry, martial arts and the like; Even whether this person is dead or alive now, no one can say clearly.

And the other one is Jiang Xiaolou, the third senior brother who imitates his master Qianjiang and watches the tide, claiming to cultivate hard in the three thousand mountains of Bashu and never go out if he does not cultivate the heavenly spirit vein.

Today, Jiang Xiaolou, who had no news back to Jianchi for a long time, suddenly appeared outside the Haishan Palace, and the three soulless juniors in the hall were stunned at the same time!

To say that Lao Jiu Hongfeng was bold and thick-skinned, he hurriedly got up from the master's clay statue, stumbled in front of Jiang Xiaolou, trembling his lips for a long time, and then barely said half a sentence:

"Third brother? …… You...... You...... Did you practice? ”

Jiang Xiaolou smiled and reached out to tuck the white hair scattered between Hong Feng's forehead, and raised his red, swollen and purulent arm to take a look, then shook his head and said indifferently:

"Cheng ...... Didn't work out? The third brother doesn't know! ……”

Before Hong Feng could continue to reply, Zuo Qiuliang, who was originally kneeling on the futon and kowtowing to his master, now held Yue Haishan's Qingmang Sword in both hands and knelt in front of Jiang Xiaolou with a plop.

Since the second disciple and the fifth disciple both died in order to compete for the position of the head of the sect, the current head of the sword pool, Zuo Qiu Liang, the fourth disciple under Yue Haishan, has become the second generation disciple with the highest rank and the oldest qualifications in the sword pool. Therefore, no matter what twists and turns Jianchi has encountered, as the head of the house, he can only grit his teeth and bear it, not daring to show half of his weakness; It can be seen from his personality and temper that he is not a top piece of material at all! So although what he did was a bit stupid, it was actually far beyond the limit of his ability!

It's so hard for people to do things that they are not good at at all, or even go against their hearts!

As for whether the clay fetus statue can manifest itself, Zuo Qiuliang has reached this age, and it may not be clear in his heart? If it weren't for the complete collapse of his psychological defenses, how could he have such a negative attitude?

However, if the clay fetal statue is really invisible, then why was Jiang Xiaolou, who had been without a trace, able to rush back to the sect in such a timely manner at this moment of destroying the sect?

Suddenly saw Zuo Qiuliang, who was the backbone of the main heart, and didn't have time to wipe the tears off his face, he just stubbornly knelt in front of Jiang Xiaolou, holding the sword in both hands, and said to Jiang Xiaolou in a crying voice:

"Disciple Zuo Qiu Liang, return the token of the head ......"
