"Hahaha...... Say, say it quickly! Except for Zhao Wuxian, everyone else was very excited.

"One day, a ranger with a disheveled face and a beard met a young girl in Qindu, and he dismounted and said that he would buy this girl for twenty coins. Unexpectedly, the girl was unwilling. So, he tried to carry her on the horse, but ...... "I paused deliberately, and the man's face instantly collapsed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his expression was extremely embarrassed.

"What happened?" The crowd asked.

As a result, the eight-foot-tall ranger was hit on the head by a stick from an angry girl! He ran after the girl for several streets in a fit of rage, and was finally beaten by a chivalrous man who saw the unevenness of the road, and ran away in disgrace. ”

Everyone laughed after hearing this, only Zhu Zhen stood up with a calm face, and threw several teenagers out with a push, "Enough listened, enough drunk, get out!" ”

"You really hit him?" Zhao Wuxian leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"I was bleeding from the fight." I laughed.

"Hahaha...... Zhao Wuxian clapped his hands and laughed, got up and shouted at the candle standing at the door: "Ah Box, come on, come on, sit down!" ”

Candle Chu knelt in front of me with a look of indignation: "When I first started talking about Qin Nu, why didn't you speak?" Wait until I'm done to taunt me! ”

"Your attire is different from that day, and your beard is trimmed, and I can not recognize it. Besides, I didn't expect you to say something like a happy relationship, laughing and chasing. I covered my mouth and laughed.

"You're still old acquaintances, let's have another drink!" Zhao Wuxian smiled and filled the ear cup for the candle.

"I'm losing my face, don't drink it, don't drink it!" Candle Chu pushed away the wine glass in annoyance, "As long as you meet this child, you will lose the dead." ”

I took Zhao Wuxian's cup and said to Candle Chun: "This cup is regarded as a little sister's apology to Brother Candle for her rude behavior back then." After speaking, he drank it all, and then poured another glass, "This cup is to thank Brother Candle for his praise to the little sister." After the two glasses were drunk, I poured a glass of wine and brought it to the candle with both hands, "If Brother Candle is willing to forgive the little sister, how about drinking this cup?" ”

Candle Chu glanced at me and smiled helplessly: "How can you not drink it?" I've been scratched by you girl for so many years. He took the wine and drank it down, leaned over and whispered, "Haven't you tied your hair and hair yet?" What was your age when I met you? ”

"Twelve." I laughed.

"Ahh ”

"He is the grandson of the pedestrian candle, famous, the word treasure box, excellent martial arts, righteous and cloudy, not a bad person, but a little prodigal in women."

"I know, when I saw him wielding a sword, I knew that he wasn't a bad person."

"Were you really only twelve? Not fifteen or fourteen? Candle Chu didn't give up, and leaned on the desk and asked again.

I laughed and shook my head, followed by another thump on his chest.

In the end, Zhao Wuxian paid for the wine and pulled the frustrated candlestick out of the tavern.

"I promise I won't let people know about this, so don't worry!"

Seeing that I was still eating and laughing on the side, Candle Chu snorted coldly with his nose and provoked: "Wuxian, don't look at this girl who looks weak and polite now, she can climb a tree faster than a monkey!" ”

When I heard what he said, I choked with laughter. This guy is really ......

"You beat people with sticks and climb trees?" Zhao Wuxian smiled even more happily, "Hey, today is really enjoyable, I haven't been so happy for a long time!" ”

After encountering candlesticks on the street, we wandered around the West Market in a group of three. I bought a few feet of white silk and various kinds of needles and threads with the money I had paid for it, and I was forced to promise to embroider a belt to make amends to him.

"No shirt, that's not Yin Gao of Taishi Mansion! How did he come out today! ”

I looked in the direction of the candlestick's finger, and saw a small boy with a bent waist and five or six heavy planks on his back staggering towards us.

"It's really him, let's go help him!"

Zhao Wuxian had just taken a step forward when the young man happened to step on a pebble, leaned over, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Gao, how are you?" By the time we pulled people out of the planks, the boy was already bleeding from his nose on the ground.

"He fainted." I patted the boy on the face and lifted his eyelids to take a look.

"This man hasn't been out for half a year, so why didn't he even bring a servant when he came out." Candle Chu sighed and picked up the young man, "Let's send him back, so that Taishi can't find him in a hurry." ”

"Good!" Zhao Wuxian held the wooden board in one hand and Yin Gao who was lying on the back of the candle with the other.

When we arrived at the Taishi Mansion, as soon as the steward of the mansion saw the injured Yin Gao, he hurriedly welcomed us in. Shirtless and Candlestick helped carry people and things to the backyard, while I waited alone in the garden in the front yard.

This is a small courtyard on the right side of the Ming Hall. The owner took a glimpse of the spring from outside the courtyard wall, and the flowing water overflowed the colorful pebbles and flowed into a pond water, the strange rocks on the edge of the pool, the flowers and trees, and even the white sand spread on the ground made people feel pleasing to the eye.

"Who's here?" An old voice suddenly came from behind me.

I hurriedly turned around, picked the bamboo hat and saluted.

Standing in front of me was an old man with pale and ancient appearance. He looked at me, and I stared at him. In the middle of the night, tears rolled out of my eyes.

"Master's ......"

My Master is dead, and he died in the winter when I was twelve years old, in front of me. It was the remains I collected for him, and the tomb plaque I wrote for him, but who was the person in front of him? With the same white hair, the same eyebrows and eyes, I couldn't suppress the emotions surging in my heart, and stood in place and cried bitterly.

"I've seen Taishi without a shirt!"

"Candle Chu has seen Taishi!"

"Child, what's wrong with you? This is Taishi, don't lose your honor! Seeing that I was crying, Zhao Wuxian hurriedly walked to my side.

"No, bring her to my house. Go back, all of you! Shi Mo looked at me with a frown, turned and left.

"What's going on? Do you know Tai Shimo? Candle asked me. I wiped away my tears and said to Wuxian, "I'll tell you about this later, you guys go back first!" After speaking, he hurriedly followed the housekeeper of Taishi Mansion all the way into the backyard.

"Have you seen me?" Shi Mo sat behind the desk with a majestic expression.

"No, I didn't." I shook my head.

"Then you've seen my brother Cai Shu. He is now ...... Luckily? ”

"It's been more than two years since the Master passed away." I looked up at the old man in front of me, his face was fatter than his master's, his forehead was less wrinkled, his eyes were sharp, deep, and cold, and his whole person exuded a suffocating sense of oppression. He is a god-like figure in the Jin Kingdom, he is so high, even if he has this face, he is by no means my humble, kind, and poor master.

"Where is he buried? What are the words left? Shi Mo spoke in a cold tone, as if it was a person who had nothing to do with him who died.

"The master is buried in the southern suburbs of Qin Yongcheng, and there is a word left for his younger brother Cai Mo before leaving."

"What did he say?"

"He said there was one thing in his life that was better than you."

"What's that?"

"Disciple." I looked up into Smoke's eyes.

"He took in a lot of disciples in the Qin State?"

"No, it's just the little girl." The man in front of me is the one who has caused the master to be displaced all his life, and although I have asked for him now, I can't like him anyway.

Shi Mo stood up and walked slowly in front of me with a sneer: "You hate me? ”

"Yes."

"Do you think you can outperform all my disciples?"

"Nope."

"Would you like to give it a try for your master?"

"I can't ask for it. If the little girl wins, please ask Taishi to take me as an apprentice, and then send someone to Qin to collect the remains of the master and bury them in the bamboo forest by the muddy water. The master said that there was the most vivid memory of his youth. ”

Shi Mo was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "What about his descendants?" What about wives? ”

A few years after the master left the Jin Kingdom, his wife and children both fell ill and died. The Master burned them to ashes and carried them with him for more than 30 years, hoping that one day if he died, the family would still be buried in one place. When Taishi sent people to move the bones, don't forget to move the two black clay pots together. I stood up, held back tears, and finished my words word by word.

"The child is dead, she is also dead, all dead......" Shi Mo staggered a step, his face instantly aged a lot, "You go back!" I will send for their bones to be removed. ”

"Please show me the question of the competition!"

"I won't accept female disciples, you can go back!" He waved at me, got up and left.

"Tai Shi is not afraid of losing? In my opinion, the master has won more than the Taishi in his life. ”

Shi Mo turned around slowly, there was a mist of water vapor in his eyes, his left hand hanging down at his side trembled slightly, I looked at him, he also looked at me, and he spoke after a while: "Many years ago, someone also told me that he Cai Shu is better than me Cai Mo...... Okay, I'll give you a chance! With the theme of the Huangchi Alliance, seven days later, he compared astrology and hexagram interpretation with Yin Gao, and compared calculus and soul dementoring with Luan Tao. If you win, I will take you as an apprentice, and if you lose, I will not leave you the position of witch who promised Zhao Bolu. ”

"Xie Taishi!" I bowed deeply.
