"Good brother, if you know, just tell me, I promise not to tell others."

"How do you remember to ask him?"

I had already prepared an excuse: "I also heard from others, his background...... Well, it's a bit of a secret. You told me, so I don't know what taboos I will commit in the future. ”

Lizhu glanced back at her aunt's door and said, "Let's go sit over there." ”

It was still raining, and we went around to the small pavilion at the back of the house. The drizzle falling into the pool has a subtle, soothing brushing sound.

"I've only heard about it," he poured me a cup of tea, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Decades ago, the Min family had three brothers, all of whom were outstanding in character and calligraphy, and the best one was Min Guan's father, Taibai Jian Min Dao. He was the youngest of the three brothers, but at that time there were many legends, saying that the next head of the Min family must be him. ”

I'm not much interested in this: "What about Min Guan?" Who is his mother? ”

In fact, it is said that no one has ever seen Min Guan's mother. Then...... That person," Lizhu glanced at me, and knew who that person was.

I know he's talking about me.

"That person has become infamous, she and Min Dao knew each other in their early years, and they still have some friendships. Min Dao said that he went out to travel, and after a year, he came home with a baby, saying that he was born outside, and the child's mother was dead. The Min family is very strict, although they took the child in, they also punished Min Dao, and the child is Min Guan. ”

"What's the matter...... Involved with that person? ”

Li Zhu smiled bitterly: "There is no impermeable wall in the world." The Min family also checked it themselves, and others also talked about it. Some people said that they once saw Min Dao in a certain place that year, and they were with that person, and the shape was intimate......"

Phew, it's really chasing after the wind, just based on these, can you say that Min Guan is my son? This is also too far-fetched! People really spare no effort to spread speculation about this kind of baseless peach-colored news.

As soon as I put my heart down, Lizhu said: "Later, after two years, Min Dao was seriously injured, and when he left, he told his family that Min Guan's child was miserable, his mother had died, and he was going to go, and he could no longer take care of him......"

"So, Min Dao didn't say who Min Guan's mother was."

"If it weren't for that person, why would you have to hide it like this? Even if it is a dusty woman, she will not avoid it like this. ”

"But ......"

I thought about it and closed my mouth again, Lizhu definitely didn't say it all, after all, he is a young man and I am a girl, there are some private things, or things about the private affairs of men and women, he can't tell me.

"Okay, don't always remember these old things, the master has nothing to do with the Min family, and the affairs of the Min family have nothing to do with us."

I could only nod my head in agreement and reluctantly say goodbye and go back.

It was rainy, sunny and cloudy, and it was still raining lightly on the day my master and I went out, so we had to change to travel by car. The car is extremely wide, and it is more than enough to seat seven or eight people, but now there are only two of us, and the spare space is filled with luggage, books, food, and even a place to play chess. Shigong's chess skills are profound, I am just rough, he will not play a game like me, and there is probably no sense of accomplishment when he wins.

"You read a book."

He took out his own book and read it.

The curtains of the car were half lifted, and I took a soft pillow to lean on, and read a book by the light that came in through the window. The car went fast and steadily. If you don't go out and look, you will never think that the seat of the car is empty.

That's right, there were only me and my grandfather in the car, and there was no driver.

Shi Gong performed a spell, and people walking on the road couldn't see the car at all.

In the past few years, I have been out with my master several times, and I have long been used to passing the time in the car. After reading a few pages of the book, if you have an understanding, you will cover the book, close your eyes, and recite what you have just read in your heart.

When I opened my eyes again after a while, my master was sitting with his eyes crossed.

When he closed his eyes, he looked a little immature. Like a scholar with a beautiful culture, it seems that a gust of wind can blow it down.

The wind was getting tighter and tighter, and the rain was pouring in through the window. I leaned over and stretched out my arm to close the curtain, but the car turned at this time, and I was busy supporting the wall of the car, so that the whole person did not fall down and press on Shigong.

He slowly opened his eyes: "What are you doing?" ”

"The rain is in."

He looked at me and raised his hand to close the curtain and fasten it.

I sat back.

As soon as the curtain was closed, the car seemed much darker, and I could clearly hear the sound of two people breathing. Is it the fragrance of tea? Still is...... The smell of spring rain outside?

Shi Gong said: "This trip through Jindu, you have to stay a few more days." ”

I wondered, "Why?" ”

Jindu is just a place to pass through when going west, even if it is the old capital of the former dynasty, it is enough to play for three or five days. Didn't you say that you would go out of the customs to the Western Regions this time?

"Someone is in Jindu and has set up a ring, you can take a look."

"The ring? What ring? ”

My curiosity was piqued, but he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

I can't pounce on him by the collar and force him to say it, can I?

People who speak only half of the way are the most hateful.

What's going on in the ring? I've never heard of it. Who posed it? Why pendulum? What kind of ring is it? What is the saying after winning or losing?

As soon as Shigong's mouth was closed, he couldn't pry it open with a vice.

I muttered to myself for a long time, and in the evening we found a small inn to stay. The bedding in the inn was damp and dirty, but luckily we brought our own bedding with us. I made the bed for my master, who had already washed his feet and sat with his shoes on and read a book, looking very relaxed. I seized the opportunity to ask, "Master, what is going on with that ring you said during the day?" ”

Shigong looked up at me: "You will know when the time comes." ”

"Tell me first, don't I have a good preparation, so that I don't have to be busy."

He thought for a moment and closed the book in his hand: "It's the people of the Shanyang faction who set up the ring, take out twelve crystal beads, and the one who wins until the end can take the crystal beads." ”

"What is a crystal bead?"

"It's the magic weapon of the Illusory Array, and it's very precious."

I nodded: "Why are they putting this ring?" Is it for fame or for profit? ”

Shigong gently spit out three words: "For killing." ”

I was stunned: "What? ”

"This is not the first time that the ring has been set, there have been several times before, and those who want to end the game must first sign a life and death certificate, stating that everything is voluntary, if someone gives their lives in the competition, they will bear their own blessings and misfortunes, and they have nothing to do with others."

I widened my eyes: "So there are still people to die?" ”

There was a hint of sarcasm on Shigong's face: "People who cultivate to be advanced naturally don't pay attention to their tricks, and those who cultivate to be mediocre and know that there is no hope will not wade into this troubled water, but there are some people who think they are extraordinary, but they have low eyes, and they always think that Lao Tzu is invincible in the world - as the old saying goes, those who boast of being good at shooting will die of arrows." It's always this type of people who die the fastest and the most. ”

I stuttered a little: "So you mean let me go, fight?" ”

Shigong said coldly: "If you want to find death, of course I won't stop you." ”

"Don't, Master, don't be angry, I'm just saying it casually. This is the first time I've heard of anything like this...... If they do this, will no one take care of it? ”

"Those who wish to take the bait, they have bad intentions, but if there is no greed in their hearts, they will not jump into the pit they dug."

That's just as well. Man dies for money, and birds die for food. If people don't love money, if birds don't eat greedily, of course their little lives will not be in vain.

"Then you want me to take a good look at how others shoot and how to fight, and increase my knowledge, right?"

This time, Shigong finally didn't greet me with mean words and cold eyes, it seems that he guessed correctly.

"Master, why is the illusion still divided into the Shanyang faction and the Shanyin faction? Aren't we all on the same path? ”

Shi Gong tapped his finger on the book: "Where there are people, there are disputes, and the Shanyang faction is good at formations, and rarely fights alone." The San'in faction is better at being strange and exquisite. Since words are not speculative, as time goes by, they will naturally go their own way. Wu Zhen is the top person in the Shanyang faction, doesn't she also have correspondence with you? You didn't ask her? ”

"She rarely talks about these things."

And Wu Zhen hasn't written from me for more than a year, I'm a little suspenseful, I don't know what happened to her.

"Master, you said that Wu Zhen will go to the ring in Jindu this time?"

"Although she and those people belong to the same faction, they are not all the way, so they shouldn't go."

I was a little disappointed.

"You go to sleep, you have to go tomorrow."

I answered, still a little reluctant, trying to get something out of him.

Shigong gave me a cold look, and I hurriedly retreated and returned to my own room before I breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really strange that my master never beats me, at most he reprimands, but when I face him, I feel powerless to resist, and his glance can make me throw off my armor and run away.

Those eyes, dark eyes, reflected in my pupils......

I slept so groggily that I always seemed to have a pair of eyes staring at me in my dreams, which made me restless. I woke up listless in the morning, and I was tired.

When we arrived at Leijiazhuang, the rain finally stopped, and the weather was warm. Lei Fang rushed out of the gate like a little tiger, cheered, and lifted me up as soon as he held me—

I was not angry or laughing, and slapped her arm: "Hey, let me down!" ”

The Lei family's family heirloom swordsmanship is very domineering, Lei Fang still looks so-so now, but people can't be good-looking, she is infinitely powerful as soon as she makes a move, which is really unbearable.

"I miss you." Lei Fang put me down on the ground with a smile and saluted to his master: "Senior Ji, my grandfather has been talking about you for a few days, but I'm afraid you won't come." However, he is not in the village at this time, and he will not be able to return until the evening. ”
