Chapter 65: The Human Heart (Seeking Acceptance)

In the Sword Villa.

The old man recounted the past on the high platform, and everyone present could feel the remembrance of the past from his calm tone.

The story told by the old man was very plain, and after accepting the apprentice, Xu Jun's life was not as magnificent as before, but more like an ordinary person.

The old man talked mostly about trivial things, such as Zheng Yangjian being lazy and being punished and confined, and Xu Jun couldn't bear to be punished after being punished, so he asked Wang Rong to send something to Zheng Yangjian.

The Jianghu people present were also quite happy to listen, but they were also curious about the three disciples in the old man's mouth, according to the old man, the third disciple Shen Xiu was amazingly talented, and he was not much more reckless than Zheng Yangjian.

But they are very sure that there is no such person as Shen Xiu in the rivers and lakes today, so the question is, what is the reason why a person whose talent and qualifications are not weaker than Zheng Yangjian makes him not famous in the rivers and lakes?

There must be a secret in this, and some of the old people in the courtyard have vaguely remembered the events of thirty years ago.

"However, the world is unpredictable, and no one could have imagined that in just one night, everything would change!"

The old man on the high platform was silent for a while before continuing to speak.

"On the night of the accident, I was sent to the capital by my master, what happened, I don't know until now, I only know that my master is dead, and my home is gone. ”

Speaking of this, the old man's tone was very sad and lonely, and Zheng Yangjian hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort him.

"Fifth uncle, Master has been immortal for so many years, please mourn, presumably Master and his old man have a spirit in the sky and don't want to see Fifth Uncle you live in sadness, home is not gone, home has always been there, my sister and I have always treated you as a relative. ”

Zheng Yangjian's move once again won a lot of applause, and many people also spoke out to comfort the old man.

"That is, old-timers, with a younger generation like Zheng Daxia who is competitive and filial, you should live happily. ”

"Old-timers, the deceased is gone, cherish the present!"

The old man didn't care, there was always only one most important person in his life, and there was also only one family member he identified with.

Or that because of the long time together, he also had other people who agreed, but after the events of that night, he didn't know if the rest of the people were worthy of his recognition.

The old man continued to speak: "As for what happened that night, it was widely rumored in the rivers and lakes at that time that it was the third disciple Shen Xiu's wolf ambition to covet the master's martial arts secrets, secretly poisoned the master's soup, and committed the act of killing the master. ”

The old man calmly glanced at Zheng Yangjian and Wang Rong, and the two of them had a sad look on their faces, and they couldn't see other emotions.

"But there are also sporadic rumors that this incident was committed by two disciples, and the third disciple Shen Xiu is just a scapegoat!"

"Who is real and who is fake, the old man does not know!"

As soon as these words came out, the courtyard was suddenly quiet, and everyone moved their eyes to Zheng Yangjian and Wang Rong.

But then they remembered the reputation of the two of them over the years, as well as the actions they had just made, and they shook their heads firmly.

The people in the rivers and lakes pay the most attention to respecting teachers, and they are the demon gates known for their ferocious and ruthless methods, and there are few people who are mad and do the act of killing teachers.

Everyone in the courtyard was angry and scolded one after another.

"It's shameless, dare not do it, commit such acts, not only do not repent, but also blame others!"

"That's right, who is the old master of Zheng Village? Famous all over the world, who doesn't know that the old owner Zheng is the most respectful teacher, how can he do such a thing?"

"Where is the thief now?"

......

And at this time, outside the Sword Villa!

The banquet had already begun, but Zhao Banxian was a little absent-minded, he was gnawing on a piece of chicken wings in his hand, and looked up at the direction of the official road from time to time.

Suddenly, he found something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and after seeing everything clearly, he was even more happy, and hurriedly threw down the chicken wings and stood up.

The second stunned man asked, "Uncle Zhao, where are you going?"

Zhao Banxian pointed to the official road, and Zhengse replied: "It seems that someone over there is doing a funeral, and he is coming here, today is the birthday banquet of the old owner, I went over to persuade them, I can't let them stir up the situation!"

When the people at the table heard this, they saw that as Zhao Banxian said, someone was coming on the official road, and two coffins were being pulled on the carriage behind them.

The second stunned man said honestly: "Uncle Zhao, I'll go with you, if there is something, there is also a foil." ”

Zhao Banxian's heart was overjoyed, and the words of the second stunned man were just like his arms, and he nodded without changing his face.

Many people at the same table also stood up, "Zhao Banxian has done this really authentically, I'll go with you." ”

Zhao Banxian nodded, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of mockery, and led a few people to the official road.

Walking on the official road are naturally Shen Ming and others, as for the two coffins, they are the congratulatory gifts he prepared.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Banxian arrived in front of Shen Ming, he arched his hand, and was about to speak.

"This Taoist ......"

Shen Ming had already spoken: "I remember you!"

Zhao Banxian chuckled in his heart, but then shook his head secretly, and replied: "I've never seen the Dao Chief, the Dao Leader shouldn't be the wrong person......, right?"

Shen Ming spoke again and said lightly: "I originally thought that you just didn't have brains back then, and you would believe whatever others said, but now it seems that I was wrong, you not only have brains, but also have a lot of courage!"

Zhao Banxian's face changed suddenly, he looked back at the Chuanjian Villa behind him, and quietly stretched out his hand to send a code, which stabilized his mood a little.

"I don't understand what the Taoist is talking about. ”

Shen Ming looked at the long shed in the distance, only to see a group of people coming out of the long shed, slowly surrounding this side, and at a cursory glance, there were hundreds of thousands of people.

Shen Ming sneered and said: "It's really a familiar method, I haven't seen it for thirty years, and I haven't sent a congratulatory gift as a junior brother, but I didn't expect my senior brother to prepare one early!"

Shen Ming glanced at Zhao Banxian and said, "How much money did he give you back then, and how much did he give today?"

Several people around Zhao Banxian looked at the two who were talking with some confusion when they heard this, and they didn't quite understand what they were talking about.

Zhao Banxian glanced at the people who were gradually surrounded, and he had confidence in his heart, he smiled coldly, and said righteously.

"Money? What kind of money? Old Farmer Zheng still uses money for us? Today's events are all voluntary, can you ask the villagers present, that one has not received the favor of Old Farmer Zheng on weekdays?

The crowd nodded yes, as Zhao Banxian said, Zheng Yangjian has been generous in the city over the years, and everyone present has been more or less favored.

And some people with ulterior motives who were mixed in the crowd glanced at each other and took this opportunity to start stirring up.

"Folks, don't talk nonsense with this stinky Taoist, I think he was invited by the enemy of the old Zheng Zhuang owner, and I know that today is the old Zheng Zhuang owner's birthday, so I specially brought the coffin to sweep the old owner's happiness!"

"That's right, folks, we have received so many favors from the old owner on weekdays, and there is no way to repay it, today this stinky Taoist priest came just in time, we tied him up and sent him in to the old owner Zheng!"

"Folks, rush, there are only a few of them, there are so many of us, one person can drown him with a mouthful of spit!"

Someone threw a stone out of the crowd, shouting and rushing, but his steps were quietly moving backwards.
