In the year 341 of the Han calendar, on October 29, an inconspicuous tombstone was erected in the western suburbs of Lingyuan County!

On the tombstone, the eight big characters of 'Zhang Wen, the world's first assassin', are very eye-catching.

......

Drifting around, sword mountains and sword rain, the master died in the end, Shichen still did not transcend the fate of life and death in the rivers and lakes, and finally disappeared into the dust and smoke like a meteor.

There are heroic and righteous people in ancient times, and it is difficult to live forever when they go to righteousness generously!

The master died without a wife and no children for half of his life, and I was his apprentice for a year, so I naturally wanted to send him to the end and say goodbye well.

I chose the tomb site in the most inconspicuous place in the western suburbs of Lingyuan City, master, you have been running around the rivers and lakes for most of your life, and you have been busy for half your life, after you leave, don't be disturbed by others anymore.

The eldest Xia in the family, who is known as 'always rich', is very stingy on weekdays, but this time he dug a hole in the door and found me thirty-five taels of gold, although these money can't afford to buy a good golden silk nan wooden coffin, it is more than enough to buy a good coffin of medium material.

On the day I bought the tombstone and coffin, I sat at the door of the coffin shop, thinking about it, and finally, on the tombstone, the life deeds and personality of the master, I didn't let the craftsman chisel it. Only let Zhang Jiang in the north of the city chisel on the eight characters of "Zhang Wen, the first assassin in the world".

Hey! Master, you can have such an understanding apprentice as me, you are below, just steal the fun!

In fact, the master's people have long been buried, but it should be known that the master is grateful for the master's contribution to the eradication of the Liu family, and insists on letting this Lingyuan hero go in a beautiful manner after dealing with the important business, so it is not until today that a monument was erected and a grand funeral was held.

The tombstones and cemeteries are simple and unpretentious, but they are crowded with people.

Today is a very timely day, with fine snow falling and mist like smoke. It should be known that the lord deliberately sent someone to pinch an auspicious time, saying that it was a funeral at this time, the deceased, as soon as the time came, he immediately led the Huaxing hundred officials to take the lead in the memorial, and the Lingyuan villagers who heard the news were like a long river, and there were not a few disciples who came to quietly mourn the tiger.

After Lord Ying finished reading the sacrificial text, the people began to worship on their own, and for a while, the yellow paper was all over the sky, white silk was everywhere, and they wept bitterly, and the scene was very great.

Looking at the people with all kinds of voices, I smiled, I didn't cry, the tears that should have been shed have been shed for more than 20 days. Besides, there is nothing to cry about today, my father said: Grandpa Dongfang and the master both died for righteousness.

They died a well-deserved death, a heroic death, and should be rejoiced and celebrated.

Dressed in sackcloth mourning clothes, I knelt beside the monument and returned the salute, when I accidentally glanced at the lonely grave of my cool grandfather and uncle in the distance, and then thought of a sincere and faithful, loyal and righteous assassin, although he did not conform to the Assassin's creed, but he was worthy of the word chivalrous. Although the master's funeral did not conform to the traditional funeral customs, the grand scene barely matched the four-character true meaning of "the first in the world". Throughout the ages, the death of an assassin could be seen off by the people of a county, and it was not considered a trip to the earthly world.

Master, you haven't waited in vain for the next month!

When the western suburbs are quiet again, I am ready to pack up with Wang Sanbao, Huangfulu, and Ying Cheng, and want to return to the city at the end of the unitary time.

As the mass grave in the western suburbs became darker and darker, the hearts of the four of us became tighter and tighter, and it was really creepy to stay in this vicious and dark place at night, and we began to be cautious, for fear that if one of the graves accidentally moved, a lonely ghost would emerge and hook the lives of the four of us.

Suddenly, Wang Sanbao came with a sharp exclamation, stomping on the ground, the three of us hurriedly stepped forward to check, it turned out to be a wild hare hidden in the white silk, when Wang Sanbao cleaned up the white silk, the wild hare moved, frightened Wang Sanbao shouted in horror, almost scared out of the pee.

Ying Cheng was bolder, and when he saw that it was a wild mountain hare, he couldn't help laughing, ran over in three steps and two steps, stretched out his hand, hugged the rabbit's ears, picked up the rabbit, and said to it viciously, "You guy, so bold, dare to bully my brother." Tonight, I'm going to drink with you and my brothers! ”

The four of us breathed a sigh of relief, and then, with a raised eyebrow, I immediately said, "Brothers, the city gate is about to be closed, don't clean it up again!" Grab what you can and talk about it! If you can't take it, you can get it again tomorrow during the day, and in this wilderness, how can anyone come to make this little ill-gotten gain? Let's go! ”

When I said the second half of the sentence, I felt a little weak.

For those of us who grew up in ordinary people's parents, some white silk and dark tools rented from the underworld shop are really expensive, but then again, how can this little thing be worth a life, isn't it?

The four of us teenagers did not hesitate much, and immediately withdrew, and when we approached the official road, the cedar forest on the other side of the road began to rustle, and two figures were suddenly coming, and the four of us were all stunned.

Is it haunted?

The wind was loud, and for a while, the wind was loud, and the figures were flowing, which was eerie.

The four of us, all soldiers, stayed where we were, not knowing what to do.

Last year, it was in this cedar forest that I accidentally rescued Dongfang Grandpa and Yumei who were tyrannized by Liu Bu.

At my beckoning, the four of us formed a circle, ready to brake quietly.

The figure of the person opposite is vague, and it can be vaguely seen that one person is slightly tall, one person is hunchbacked, one person is wrapped in a robe, and one person is on crutches, and it can be judged that the person on the opposite side is a middle-aged man and an old man.

Wang Sanbao's legs trembled uncontrollably, and he said tremblingly, "Big, big brother...... Mo..., isn't it the ghost of the predecessor of the dead Shichen and the grandfather of the East who has found us? Think our brother is not taking good care of us and wants to take us away? ”

Ying Cheng snorted coldly, leaned forward and was about to draw his sword, he said coldly, "Shut up, Sanbao, how can there be so many ghosts and gods, master, I want to see who dares to pretend to be a ghost here." It just so happens that the master's sword will kill the demon tonight! ”

I have never studied the affairs of ghosts and gods, and I have always been respectful of ghosts and gods, but when I saw Ying Cheng draw his sword and get up, I hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and shouted, "Ying Cheng, don't act rashly, the person who came did not show his misdeeds, and with our little bit of urine, it can't be on people, quickly put away your sword, let's strike later." ”

"Poof, hahaha, what a sentence 'can't be on people', vivid, really vivid! Hahaha! ”

In the blink of an eye, the two oncoming people had already walked through the official road and stood six feet away from me. The tall and thin man was wearing a cloak and couldn't see his face clearly, and he was holding a handful of 'flowering' frozen sand fruits in his hand, eating them with relish.

Next to me, an old man with long eyebrows and a peach cane in his hand was looking at me with a smile, and the words just now came from the old man's mouth.

Huang Gan and Hei Huangfu Lu was very vigilant, he saw the two of them approaching step by step, and immediately stood in front of me, but I pulled back, I stood in front of the three people, stared directly at the two people in front of me, without saying a word, the scene was suddenly a little delicate.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man on the other side laughed, threw me a frozen sand fruit, tilted his head and said to the old man beside him, "Teacher, look, look." The spirit of this young man in the countryside can be crossed, how good! It's so much better than those of us who are alive and well, ahem, people, the more you live, the more you live. Living until now, I don't even have the courage to act bravely! Ha ha. ”

When the cane man heard this, he smiled and said nothing, and the middle-aged man stopped talking, spit out the sand kernel at random, raised his head at me, and looked at me with some amusement.

I gritted my teeth, swallowed all the sand fruits in my hand, took a step forward and said, "Thank you seniors for the fruit, it's getting late, my family remembers, if there is nothing else, I'll leave!" ”

After speaking, I turned around and made a look, and the three brothers behind me understood, and walked along the official road with me, trembling, and quickly walked towards Ling Yuan City.

Not a few steps, the middle-aged man shouted out of thin air, 'Slow', the four of us at the same time chrysanthemum tightened, standing in place, the middle-aged man laughed, and then said, "Xiaoyou, don't be afraid, I have some intersection with the teacher with a chivalrous man named Death Shichen, I heard that the deceased is at today's funeral, and I came here to mourn, and there was a delay on the road, so that the twilight arrived." Little friend, do you know where the grave of the dead man is? My teacher and I also had a good chat about how much we missed our old friends. ”

As soon as these words fell, I was reassured, judging from what they had just done, the two of them had no malice, nor did they lie, I tidied up my clothes, looked back at the middle-aged man, and said carefully, "Senior, I was rude, please forgive me." The younger generation is the disciple of the master who died and is willing to lead the way for the two seniors. ”

"Oops, the days are getting less and less mixed, this moment, Zhang Wen, a hairy boy, has sprouts!" The old man with a cane finally opened his mouth, and when he saw his immortal eyebrows swaying back and forth with his words, he said to me with a smile, "Little friend, please lead the way!" ”

I instructed Ying Cheng and the three of them to wait for me on the official road, and then led the way in front, and just entered the cemetery, Ying Cheng and the three of them strode after me, and my heart warmed: There can be so many good brothers, and it is not in vain for so many years.

When I came to the master's tomb, Ying Cheng and Wang Sanbao found some fine broken wood, lit a fire around with a fire sickle and flint, and Huangfulu found cotton and cloth strips to wrap around the relatively thick dead branches and make torches for the return journey.

The middle-aged man was not polite, nodded to me, took the yellow paper with his hand, squatted in front of the copper basin, burning little by little, the pungent smell of the burning yellow paper gradually spread all around, the middle-aged man was choked and coughed a few times, and then smiled helplessly, sighing slightly, "Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen, when you were young, you listened to one good play after another on the beam of my house, and today, you have also become a person in the play." Hey, it's a pity that everything in the world is so hard! ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but lift my spirits.

The master served in Changshui Wei when he was young, and he did the work of guarding high-ranking officials and loyal ministers in the shadows.

I deduced: The person in front of me must be a big man from the capital.
