Li Chen has always felt that this world is full of malice, a world of great contention, and human life is like a dog.

Suddenly, there was a person who generously donated to him, and even did not hesitate to spend Zhenyuan to help him sort out the meridian dantian and get out of the predicament.

Yuan Zheng thought for a while and said: "I just met, I traveled the rivers and lakes, and I may do a lot of good things, and I may do a lot of bad things." ”

"It just so happens that I am doing a good thing with you. ”

"You do have some noble popularity, and your future should be good, and if you gain power in the future, don't forget me. ”

Li Chen was slightly stunned, gaining momentum was too far for the two of them.

If you want to get ahead, you have to kill people and set fires, serve your family and country, or start from scratch, all of which are powerful, but these things are too hard to think about, Li Chen has never thought about the future, he just wants not to be looked down upon at the moment, and he can stand up and be a man.

If you say it, some people will listen, some people will ask, and no one will ridicule and despise it.

Li Chen asked again: "Where do you come from, this kindness will be rewarded in the future, and I hope that the senior brother will tell me clearly." ”

Yuan Zheng shook his head and said: "I can't say it for the time being, it's not good for you, if I set up my own door in the future, I still need your supporters, and then I will talk about it." ”

Li Chen didn't understand for a while, so he could only reply: "If there is a need for our two brothers in the future, just say hello, and thank you for your kindness." ”

In fact, even Yuan Zheng himself doesn't know if what he did today has a very strong reward, or maybe the two brothers will be ungrateful in the future, and at the moment, it is just a casual move.

When he left the Wuwang Mansion, the military advisor Chen Yu said that there were only two ways out for him.

The first is to wait for death by eating as usual, and perhaps one day die under the assassination of blood relatives.

The second is to rise up in the opposition, stand on your own, and participate in the world of great contention.

Yuan Zheng didn't give Chen Yu a clear answer, but what Chen Yu said, Yuan Zheng knew very well what it meant, and he was also thinking about these things.

It is too difficult to get up, it seems that in the world of great contention, everyone has a chance to become a dragon and a phoenix, but the great mountains and rivers and the top resources are finally in the hands of a few people.

For the time being, Yuan Zheng will not think about these things that are too far away, he has not yet passed the age of the crown, and it is not a good thing to think too much.

Said to Li Chen: "No one in the Wuliang Mountain Range knows whether there is a Beast King guarding it, and at the moment, it is a plate of scattered sand, maybe a few of us, the impact on the Wuliang Mountain Range will not cause the appearance of a real giant." ”

"Don't go to the Infinite Mountains in the future. ”

"As for the Sword Forge Pavilion, do you need me to settle the matter of leaving for you?"

Even if you don't have to go back to the Sword Pavilion, one thing has to have a beginning and an end, a beginning and an end.

Li Chen said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, it seems that we have a few taels of silver every month in the Sword Casting Pavilion, when we distribute it, we will deduct some here, some there, and there will be very few in our hands, maybe it will not be enough to go to the inn to eat a meal of wine and meat." ”

"If we leave, the Sword Casting Pavilion won't care, for the outer disciples, there is not much difference between leaving and not leaving. ”

Yuan Zheng knows it in his heart, and in terms of human sophistication, Yuan Zheng is ashamed of himself.

After a while, the old man came in and beckoned Yuan Zheng and Li Chen to go out for dinner.

In the hall, a pot of coarse tea, open the inferior teacup and see, it is full of stars, that is, a layer of tea residue floating on it, as for the tea fragrance, with a bit of deep bitterness.

The steamed buns are hot, and a bowl of pickles is eaten by three people, some of which are not enough.

Yuan Zheng had never eaten such inferior rations, and some of them were difficult to swallow.

Li Chen didn't mind, gobbling up a few steamed buns, and the old man couldn't close his mouth with a smile on the side.

The old man said: "My three sons are the same as you when they eat, and they don't eat. ”

Yuan Zheng asked curiously, "What about your three sons, why haven't you seen them?"

Old Boyun replied lightly: "They are all dead, I heard that they died in South Vietnam and were ambushed by the enemy." ”

Yuan Zheng and Li Chen's hearts sank, and they were a little uncomfortable.

At present, there is no war for the time being, but in previous years, there was constant friction between Great Wei and Great Qin, and there were also South Vietnamese rebels inside, and wars were frequent, and I don't know how many young and strong men died on the battlefield in the country.

I heard the old man say that after the three sons died on the battlefield, the wife couldn't stand the blow, and it didn't take long for her to die of depression.

As for the pension after death, the government is also wrong here, not right there, the pension has never reached the hands of the elderly, if nothing else, it is consumed on the official's wine table, and it is also possible that the concubine of a certain official's new salary is used to enter the pension of the soldiers who died in the war.

Even how his son died, the corpse was not seen, the old man's heart was very uncomfortable, and he got used to it after a long time, but it was a pity that the wife who should not have died early, if he was still alive, the couple could also watch the sunset together, and taste coarse tea and light rice.

Yuan Zheng finally ate a steamed bun and three pickles.

There is no delicacies from the mountains and seas, only human touches.

Yuan Zhengdao: "We will not live here in vain, I will cover the daily expenses in the future, and I will also pay a sum of money to build a magnificent house for the old man to spend his old age in peace." ”

The old man shook his head and said: "Where do you need to spend so much, although I don't eat and live here very well, but I don't need silver, it's good if you can give me a companion, just look at the help point of the geographical crops." ”

For an old man who is alone, the grand house, the tall horse, and the silver no longer seem to be so attractive.

Yuan Zheng was a little ashamed of himself.

After dinner, Yuan Zheng was ready to return to the Sword Casting Pavilion.

Before leaving, Yuan Zheng explained to Li Chen: "Temporarily settle here, live for a year and a half, your younger brother is estimated to wake up in half a month, when the time comes, you must remember to practice martial arts diligently, I have opened up the meridians up and down your body." ”

"I remember that I left you a sum of silver, if it is convenient, I will go to the nearby market to buy you a sword or two that you can see, the purple gold peng bird itself has innate sword qi, what is the blue-winged ape bear, I don't know for the time being. ”

"Your brother may not be suitable for practicing kendo, and even you are not suitable, and changing to another path is also a way out. ”

Li Chen said: "I will pay attention to this, when will you leave the Sword Casting Pavilion?"

Although he hadn't heard Yuan Zheng say it himself, Li Chen also knew that a person like Yuan Zheng would not stay in a ghost place like Sword Casting Pavilion for too long.

"In a year's time. Yuan Zheng responded.

"By the way, help this old man a little more, if you have extra money, you can also buy some clothes for the old man, and remember to replace them with new ones if you can't use any things at home. ”

Yuan Zheng left, and Li Chen watched this noble man riding thousands of miles of smoke and clouds drift away in the night.

looked at his hands, felt the vigorous blood in his body, and muttered, "I think, probably can't practice swords." ”

When I had to return to the Sword Casting Pavilion under the Ming Sword Peak, it was already the middle of the night.

Yuan Zheng is in the same room with the handle, Yuan Zheng is sleeping on the bed, carrying the handle and lying under the bed, the master and servant are affectionate.

At this time, there is no sleepiness, and the bright moon outside is in the sky, which is eye-catching.

Yuan Zheng sat cross-legged, as always, and the wooden sword blossomed and resonated, "Green Mountains and Green Water Sword Record" in Yuan Zheng's comprehension ability, it can also be regarded as a pranayama internal exercise, perfect to soft, without any edge.

If you feel it carefully, you will also have a sense of alternative breadth and profundity.

As Yuan Zheng's understanding of kendo deepened, he gradually discovered the wonder of "Green Mountains and Green Water Sword Records".

If it were the rest of the kendo methods, perhaps the resonance with the wooden sword would not be so gentle.

On the hilt of the flowering scabbard, colorful flowers and vines bloom, forming a vision, faintly, there are hundreds of rivers and mountains.

He really wanted to pull it out and see how sharp the blade inside was, but he couldn't pull it out, and he resisted this impulse.

I don't know when or what month and year I will see my mentor next time.

I don't know how to spend the next days of traveling.

Li Chen and Li Ding wandered in the years of rivers and lakes.

Isn't Yuan Zheng floating in the world of great controversy......
