Xia Xiaogui was about to leave the execution ground with Xu Xiaoduo, but was pressed on the shoulder from behind by a big hand.

"Don't talk, come with me."

It was a man who spoke, and there was majesty in his voice.

Xiao Gui was startled, and was about to draw the sword in his sleeve, but the hand suddenly pressed her hand.

"It's me."

When Xiaogui turned his head to look, it was none other than Xu Yongzhi's master, Zhang Huan of Longhu Mountain.

There are all kinds of teachers in the world, some are gentle, some are majestic, some are good at teaching, some are good at research, and some are very affordable, that is, they are very rich and willing to spend money on their students.

But let's tell the truth, if you want to be popular as a teacher, the most important thing is a word.

Handsome.

If you have gray hair and are beautiful, and the students will come to you when they see it, and if you are unkempt every day, struggling to enter the classroom, and talking like a mosquito, then no matter how good you read, it will be difficult to become popular by teaching.

The same is true for the monk Lao Dao, take a closer look at those popular monks, you will find that the monks with good looks can be better supported, if you look strange, then you have to do more work in the temple, and live honestly by the unit.

looks like a bodhisattva, a lifetime of chic; looks like an Arhat and has worked hard all his life; looks like King Kong, a lifetime of vicissitudes.

Zhang Huandao is a different kind of appearance, he is born with the face of a comedian, a big face, not tall, and not big eyes, and when the monster fox fairy sees him, he can't help but want to pat him on the shoulder.

"Old Zhangtouer, what are you doing?"

As soon as other Daoye entered the mountain, they did not bring into Laojun Mountain, the poisonous insects and beasts all escaped, Zhang Daoye was armed into the mountain with a full body of talismans, rabbits or rabbits, turtles or turtles, everyone should eat and eat, drink water and drink water, all as if this old way did not exist.

"No aura" is everyone's first impression of him, this person has no murderous spirit at all, and there is no murderous intent, what you feel when you see this person is that he is like a wife who is peaceful and lives for a lifetime.

In terms of appearance, Zhang Daoye can be said to be quite prominent.

The second son of the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain, Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi, is the ancestor of his family.

The Taoist priest of the Heavenly Master Dao can get married and have children, and his family's magic and martial arts are also passed down from father to son, and apprentices with foreign surnames can learn martial arts, but they can't learn the Five Thunder Method.

Zhang Daoye is good at swordsmanship, speaking of swordsmanship, it is the real first in Longhu Mountain, better than his father Zhang Qianren and eldest brother Zhang Bei.

A junior brother once asked: "Second senior brother, why are you so good at swordsmanship?" Is it talent? ”

But when Zhang Daoye heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad:

"Brother, if you have such a handsome big brother, you will also let go of your illusions and bury yourself in sword practice."

Zhang Bei looks really good, when he was young, he was like Erlang Xiansheng, and he grew a beard like the Jade Emperor, and when he gets old in a few years, he will be like Taishang Laojun nine times out of ten.

Zhang Bei grew a fairy beard at the age of eighteen, went out to hunt demons, and when others saw Zhang Bei's face, they fell to the ground and bowed their heads, asking the gods to save people, but let Zhang Huan walk in front, and others looked indifferent:

"Dao Chief, my family's meal has just been finished, you can ask in front of you."

Daddy Zhang Qianren actually hurts both sons, but every time Zhang Bei goes out, he succeeds immediately; When Zhang Huan went out, he made a bunch of jokes, and after a long time, his father took his eldest brother out to meet the dignitaries of the imperial court.

Zhang Huan traveled the world every day, went to the mountains to kill a tiger and a fierce Jiao, dug two bat caves, and rescued a few pangolins to be released.

The eldest is the political leader, and the second is the backbone of the war, which is said to be a very suitable match.

But soon there will be a conflict between the eldest apprentice and the second apprentice - your master's martial arts are low, and you are not successful, why do you show off your martial arts in front of us? finally quarreled and quarreled, and one day he made a move, and the second apprentice beat the eldest apprentice to the point of losing his armor.

This conflict alarmed the Heavenly Master, so Zhang Qianren found Zhang Huan and chatted with him, Ah Huan, your brother is my chosen heir, you are his arms and siblings, and your apprentice should be fingers and toes, is there a reason why fingers and toes do not obey siblings?

Although Zhang Huanren is not handsome, he is very smart, and he immediately understood what his father meant, and immediately sent his four apprentices down the mountain and cut off contact.

After that, he never accepted apprentices from the family, and only accepted lay disciples from then on, and most of them chose those noble sons with good family backgrounds.

First, these children basically have a family business that can be inherited, and they will never hold back to go to Longhu Mountain to be an old man, and go to grab the position of their nephew in the future; Second, the parents of these children have a dedication to the New Year's holidays, Zhang Huan drinks and eats meat, and receives the New Year's goods every year happily and feasts.

He was especially cautious about accepting apprentices, and knew that he was going to play a big game.

For example, Xu Yongzhi will send him bacon from Tanzhou during the New Year, and his next apprentice will be collected in Xingqing Mansion, so that he can eat Tan sheep, and another will be collected in Luoyang, and he will always send him iron stick yams, and another will be collected in Quanzhou, and the seafood will come from there, and he is recently preparing to accept an apprentice from Dali, because I heard that the mushrooms, fried insects and cakes and tea there are very good.

Zhang Huan and Xu Zhixun made friends with two teenagers, at that time, the relationship between the mountain ghost wizard and Longhu Mountain was good, and everyone often sent young children out together to go to Daze to subdue demons and hunt monsters, Zhang Huan and Xu Zhixun were both children who had no hope of inheriting the family, and they were the main force of monster hunting.

Later, Tian Xiaoqian was forcibly married by the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Xu Zhixun was imprisoned by Li Lianqiao, and it was Zhang Huan who secretly rescued him and was able to get out, and the two of them have been brothers since then, and then went to the Southern Tang Dynasty Deep Palace together to save Tian Xiaoqian, Zhang Huan knows the affairs of the Xu family very well.

Xu Zhixun is also good to Zhang Huan, Zhang Huan's Five Thunder Laws are incomplete, because his father Zhang Qianren didn't understand this set of spells at all, Zhang Qianren, the specialty of the Heavenly Master, is the relationship between the amount of alcohol and the court, so there are many places where the spell is reversed and wrong.

In the end, the Zhang family has reached the point where they can't hold the fox, and when they go to the customer's house to recite a mantra, there is a three-tenths probability that the house will be burned with thunder, and several times the fox took pity on Zhang Tianshi and took the initiative to move away from the customer's house. After a few times, the Heavenly Master's face was greatly damaged.

After Xu Zhixun settled in Lin Quan, he studied this set of spells with Zhang Huan, corrected and revised the mistakes, and only then did the probability of burning the customer's house change from 3 out of 10 to 2 in 1,000, but Zhang Tianshi's five thunder correct method has had a little bit of the evil spirit of the mountain ghost Niangniang since then, and later this set of spells also caused a lot of trouble for the Zhang family.

In general, Zhang Huan helped Xu Zhixun more.

Zhang Huan doesn't know why, Xu Zhixun is a hot-blooded and middle-class second, Zhang Huan is obviously a very passive and nosy person, but once Xu Zhixun talks to him about sentient beings, righteousness, life and order, Zhang Huan can't help but go out with him to cause trouble.

The two of them have been friends from their teens to their forties, and they are still in contact, Zhang Huan is Xu Yongzhi's master, everyone says that Young Master Xu is blessed, but Zhang Huan will quickly shake his head when he hears this: "No, no, no, it's the old way, I'm blessed!" ”

Among the disciples of Zhang Huan's lay family, although Xu Yongzhi is young, he is the earliest to get started, so he is a senior brother, and he is higher than the four who are in the top ranking.

This child belongs to the kind of exemplary "other people's children".

Polite, talented and high, never pestering people, you teach once, he takes the sword to practice, you go out to play for a month, come back to teach the next move, he has been able to practice the teacher's eighty percent of the fire in the previous move, such an apprentice, who doesn't love it?

What's more, this young man is decent, Zhang Daoye has suffered enough of not being handsome, what he has been thinking about is that when the disciples of Longhu Mountain have a ten-year competition, Xu Yongzhi's appearance and martial arts both beat all the brothers and sisters, and then the host introduced:

"This player was selected by Master Zhang Huan just now."

More prestige, more enjoyment.

Zhang Huan listened to his apprentice in many things, Xu Yongzhi came back from Mogao Grottoes to save Xiaogui, hoping that the Taoist master would accept Xiaogui as an apprentice, and the senior brother Xu Yongzhi would teach him the swordsmanship.

Zhang Huan's attitude at that time was: "It's good for you to accept apprentices yourself, and I will allow you to accept apprentices." ”

Allowing teenage disciples to accept apprentices is equivalent to issuing exemptions to disciples, and allowing disciples to open mountains and set up cabinets to be masters, but Xiaogui is not happy.

"I hope Xu Yongzhi will be my senior brother."

Zhang Huan still felt at the time: "This kid still wants to grow up, what do you care about this?" ”

Later, when I looked at Xiao Gui's eyes at Xu Yongzhi, I understood that Xiao Gui clearly likes Xu Yongzhi, and senior brothers or sisters can like each other, if it is a master and apprentice, then there is a layer of taboos, and the relationship may be very embarrassing.

Zhang Huan almost never taught Xiaogui any swordsmanship, her swordsmanship was passed down by Xu Yongzhi from generation to generation, but every year Zhang Huan came over to explain the seven-day swordsmanship to Xu Yongzhi, and that time was a great opportunity for Xiaogui to listen to the secret method and grow his skills. After a few teachings, Zhang Huan discovered a truth, Xiaogui's talent may be even higher than Xu Yongzhi.

Xu Yongzhi is quite attentive to Xiaogui's swordsmanship, and he has also consulted his master. Zhang Huan's lady is Tang Daochang, the host of Longhu Mountain, and this master uses a two-handed short sword, and Xiaogui's size will be more suitable with a two-handed short sword.

So Xia Xiaogui rescued Xu Xiaoduo and immediately went to find Master Zhang.

Master Zhang is not a person that Xiaogui feels close to, but a person she respects and trusts, if there is one person in the world who has the ability to protect Xiao Duo, it is Master Zhang.

Seeing that the master was coming, Xiaogui's nerves, which had been tense for four days, suddenly relaxed.

"Lead the horse, Xiao Duo and I are waiting for you here." Zhang Huan said.

"Uncle Zhang, my parents are gone, and they ...... It's brave. Xiao Duo whispered.

"I know, I saw your dad in prison last night." Zhang Huan said.

"Can't you get him out?" Xiao Duo asked.

"It's a pity I arrived too late, and he can't move anymore." Zhang Huan sighed.

Zhang Huan remembered the scene when he saw Xu Zhixun last night.

At the second watch, Zhang Huan entered Tanzhou City, but the prison wall could not stop him, so he went directly into the cell.

"Brother, I'm here." As soon as Zhang Huan saw Xu Zhixun, tears fell.

"Brother, you're here."

"I ...... It's late. ”

"It was so sudden, after so many years, I slacked off, slacked off."

"Don't say that, I'll shackle you and put it in the flail, let's go. When we go to Longhu Mountain, no one can embarrass us. ”

"Look at me like this."

Zhang Huan looked closely, only to see that Xu Zhixun's pipa bones were wearing finger-thick chains, these people did not treat him as a normal prisoner at all, but as a monster locked here, wizards and Taoist priests only use such heavy torture tools for vampire bats, white-haired demons and other evil beasts.

"So vicious!"

Looking at his knees again, although Xiaogui had already wrapped him, he could see that his legs were no longer able to move.

"My heart hurts!" Zhang Huan sat down dejectedly.

"We are responsible people, we are good people, and good people can't imagine the viciousness of bad people." Xu Zhixun comforted him and said.

"Hey......"

"Yes, good man, always trying to settle down. As soon as this thought came out, we lost. In the past 20 years in Linquan, it has been too long, and after a long time, I feel that it is a promising dream to be old in Linquan. ”

"Linquan Town should be, and should only be, a military camp, from where we will arm ourselves, fight with them, and overthrow them."

"But I can't help it, looking at those prosperous markets, the smiling faces of the old people and children, I was thinking, I shouldn't be involved in the war for my own affairs, and I have nothing to do with them, if they don't come to provoke me, maybe the matter will just pass."

"I know, I know." Zhang Huan hugged his head.

"I have always believed in one thing, that is, to be a man and leave a line, and to see each other in the future. Ah Qian actually persuaded me, saying that revenge should be thorough, and cutting grass should be eradicated. I really have illusions that led to today's failure. ”

"If you had announced Yongzhi earlier...... Zhang Huan said.

"No, no." Xu Zhixun interrupted Zhang Huan.

"Xu Yongzhi is my Xu Zhixun's son, he has no other identity, no other story. I want him to spend this life as the son of a merchant, and at most the son of a wizard. Xu Zhixun said.

"I have a trump card in my hand to play, but because I have compassion for all living beings and I don't want to mess with the world and I can't help it, it's too difficult for my generation to do things." Zhang Huan said.

"But I have such a good home and such a good pair of children." Xu Zhixun said with relief.

"Do you have any other wishes?"

"Xiaogui and Xiaoduo came to see me, and someone protected them. Tomorrow, if they are not near the court, you can go to the bad handsome Fei Yanggu to inquire about the news, and please help me take care of the two of them. ”

"Of course, I'll also save Yongzhi."

"I didn't say anything, they wanted the secret method of resurrection, so they could only keep it. I think this kid can find a way to escape on his own. ”

"Okay."

Xu Yongzhi looked at Zhang Huan.

"It's getting daylight, brother, let's go. In this life, I didn't live in vain, I have earned it for nothing for more than 20 years, and I owe it to you. ”

"Brother Zhixun, what are you talking about, I also know you, and I understand how much beauty there is in the world, how much is worth paying and working on."

"Although you really want to get away with it yourself, I still have to say: I entrust this incident to you."

"Numb, don't say such things that make people cry. I'm not you, I don't want to care about the world's affairs, sooner or later, I should hand over this important task to Xu Yongzhi. ”

"Anyway, please."

The two men saluted each other and shed tears.

Being a husband and wife in the next life is the most unrealistic promise.

But to be a brother in the next life, hard work can definitely be done.

Zhang Huan put down the thoughts in his head, and saw that the sun above his head was big, and just half an hour ago, his best brother died, and he remembered the sentence "I handed over the world to you", and couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

At this time, Xiaogui took Xia Xiaohei and came with luggage. Zhang Huan let the two get on the horse, led the horse and went straight to the West Gate.

"Let's go to Xinzhou, Hongzhou, and go to Longhu Mountain." Zhang Huan said to Xiaogui.

Outside the West Gate, the sergeants of the Southern Tang Dynasty were searching passers-by.

"Stop," a senior sergeant drank Zhang Huan, "Old Dao, where are you going?" What do these two do? ”

This is the evil result of a mediocre appearance, if Zhang Bei walked here, the two sergeants would not say that they knelt down, at least they had to politely say "old fairy", "immortal chief" or "Taoist chief", but Zhang Huan had never had this kind of treatment.

"Go back to Sanqing Mountain, these are my two daughters."

A short sergeant came over and looked at Xiaogui unscrupulously, "Your daughter? It's pretty and doesn't look like you. ”

As he spoke, his hand was about to stretch out to Xiaogui's face.

Xiao Gui secretly pinched the sword in his sleeve.

"Follow her mother," Zhang Huan said with a grin, "Lao Dao has a beautiful daughter-in-law." ”

He gently scraped off the hands of the dwarf sergeant with his whip, and took out a tael of silver from his pocket.

"The immunity charm just sold, the money here is really easy to earn, this means, the military master will take it to tea."

"It's easy to say, hey, your immunity charm, do you have any more, give two, there are two people in the camp next door to us who have tuberculosis and are scared."

"It's sold out, but if you have yellow paper, I can draw one for you."

Sergeant Gao hurried to find the paper.

Zhang Huan wrote a bunch of twists and turns on the paper.

"Okay, thank you."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Walking out of the city gate, Xiao Duo couldn't help asking, "Uncle Zhang, is it really the immunity charm you drawn?" ”

"Silly boy, there really is such a talisman, what is your father still doing with medicine?"

"And what are you writing about?"

"This is the words of classical Chinese, an ancient text: I will go and buy a few oranges, and you will be here, and you will have to walk around. You don't learn until you're thirteen years old. ”

Near a forest outside the city, Zhang Huan whistled, and a chestnut horse came, it turned out that he hid his mount here, Zhang Huan also got on the horse, and Xiaogui and Xiaoduo came to the road of Longhu Mountain.

Along the way, Zhang Huan secretly sighed: "The Southern Tang army is about to withdraw, they have harmed Xu Zhixun, it is really stupid, and now, the pneumonia epidemic will help the people of Linquan to avenge." ”
