On this day, the main hall of the Nangong family set up an incense hall, the sandalwood is swirling, a solemn atmosphere, Nangong Wang led the children of the Nangong family to burn incense to worship the ancestors, change the name and surname on the iron plate outside the gate, and announced that Nangong Ling would replace Nangong Lei to walk the rivers and lakes, and he was listed as the "three sons of Nangong", making up for the number of three. Nangong Wang presided over the official gift of the Thunder Sword to Zhu Wenyu, and under such solemnity, Zhu Wenyu had already thrown the monkey skin out of the Nine Heavens, respectfully leaned over to take the Thunder Sword, and then solemnly kowtowed a few times in front of Nangong Lei Ling.

Early the next morning, Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling, one carrying the "Thunder Sword" and the other carrying the commonly used "Qiushui Sword", rode in pairs, went out to the west, and marched towards the Tangmen Gate in Sichuan.

The two rode side by side, and as soon as they left the gate of the Nangong family, Zhu Wenyu's mouth couldn't be blocked, and he called Nangong Ling: "I said wood, I heard that people say that you have to have a nickname when you walk the rivers and lakes, Brother Zhou's stinky old man called Huazi gave me one, what kind of bullshit is called the 'Demon King of the Mixed World', what is the name, I bah!" But although it doesn't sound very good, it's good to have one, and you have to have one of this rotten wood, do you have one? "The title of wood is Zhu Wenyu's name for Nangong Ling for more than a month, since he first saw him, he felt that this person really had too few words, like a dumb person all day long, which made him Zhu Wenyu really uncomfortable, and sometimes he had to laugh and amuse with the maids, but this Nangong Ling was less than ten words a day, he was really dumber than a dumb man, wood was still wood, so he simply gave him a nickname of wood. It doesn't matter if this Nangong Ling is called, he just listens to it, but the name Mu Tou really doesn't look like a nickname for a character in the rivers and lakes, so Zhu Wenyu specially asked him.

Nangong Ling didn't seem to know how to speak at all, just shook his head and smiled, but didn't speak.

"You kid jumped out of the word, isn't it uncomfortable to hold it like this all day?"

It took almost half a meal before Nangong Ling said the first sentence: "Brother Zhu will take it for me." ”

Zhu Wenyu simply had no way to take Nangong Ling. "No matter how much this guy asks, he just refuses to speak, as if he will lose a piece of meat when he says a word, it's really a rotten piece of wood." I had to think about it to myself: "Well, you look like you are cold and wooden all day long, as if someone else owes you hundreds of taels of gold, so you can simply call you 'cold-faced spirit officer', right?" What do you think? What about the nickname I came up with? Suitable, right? Satisfied? Take a thank you!"

"Okay, thank you." Nangong Ling really said very little.

"Alas, what a wooden bodhisattva. I don't know what your mouth can do other than eat? I didn't say a word for a long time, didn't I feel panicked? ”

Nangong Ling just glanced at Zhu Wenyu embarrassedly, smiled, and continued to ride forward, Zhu Wenyu hurriedly accelerated to keep up.

In fact, Nangong Ling is just by nature, not that he has any opinions on Zhu Wenyu, in fact, Zhu Wenyu is shrewd and jumpy, he is always cold on occasions with him, he speaks funny, Nangong Ling's impression of him is still good, but it is good, he is from everyone, his family education is very strict, he has not talked much since he was a child, and he cherishes words like gold, facing Zhu Wenyu's mouth that can make the living faint and the dead alive, he also has some appreciation and envy in his heart, but he can't say anything, he really doesn't know what to say, had to smile faintly, and Zhu Wenyu was so suffocated that he didn't say a word.

"The autumn breeze is cool and Xiao Xiaoyi, and the pulse is fragrant on a sunny day", the sky is already late autumn, and the refreshing weather makes the two of them quite interested, but Tangmen is far away in Shuzhong, thousands of miles away, and it is not possible to reach it from day to night. Nangong Wang has already said that traveling through the rivers and lakes and searching for clues are at the same time, so the two of them are not busy, but they rise at sunrise and go all the way west at sunset. This is the same as the previous Zhu Wenyu and the "Iron Beggar" Zhou Yuan went to the Nangong family together, but the old man named Huazi Zhou Yuan, who was full of greasy and full of firewood, followed Zhu Wenyu's horse and shook it step by step and shook without a bit of seriousness, at this time it has been replaced by a handsome and chic handsome and handsome "cold-faced spirit official" Nangong Ling, and Zhu Wenyu rode side by side, not to mention the two of them in brocade clothes, just that delicate bearing, can attract the attention of passers-by, but for Zhu Wenyu, It is really painful and uncomfortable to walk with Nangong Ling's cold wood, it is far less comfortable and pleasant than to keep chatting and laughing all the way with Zhou Lao, thinking back to that period of peers, although it is a hundred times more glamorous at this time, it is also a hundred times more depressed, which simply chokes Zhu Wenyu, a monkey. "This rotten wood, dead wood, stupid wood, is really a stuffy gourd, I don't believe it can't lead you to speak!"

Sure enough, after only a few days, Zhu Wenyu couldn't hold it back, and began to tease Nangong Ling to speak, trying his best to do so, but this Nangong Ling could indeed withstand the teasing, except for one or two sentences that had to be said, most of the time he just listened to Zhu Wenyu with a smile and some interesting anecdotes, allusions and rumors, most of them just nodded or shook their heads, and still had very few words, and Zhu Wenyu was so angry that he was helpless, he was really discouraged, he was too lazy to pay attention to Nangong Ling, and simply stopped talking. Slowed down his horse's pace, took out the self-painted folding fan, squinted his eyes and pretended to walk leisurely. Hearing that, Nangong Ling's horse also slowed down, opened his eyes slightly, and saw that Nangong Ling seemed to take a closer look at the folding fan in his hand, and it was also thanks to Zhu Wenyu's very smart mind, and he also felt that Nangong Ling seemed to have a strong interest in this painting Danqing, and opened his eyes again, and said with a smile: "By the way, cold-faced wood, you like Danqing, how about tasting this landscape painting of my brother?" "Hand over the folding fan.

Nangong Ling took the folding fan, watched it carefully, and said: "Brother Zhu's ink and blue painting is indeed good, it has the atmosphere of a pastoral fairy mountain, but the shade is uneven, and the layout is a little inappropriate. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it? ”

"In fact, this Danqing painting and architectural layout, and then Qimen Dunjia's array of learning, all have something in common, all pay attention to the unity of heaven and man, natural and natural, my uncle once said, the highest level of artificial carving is not artificially carved, as if natural."

Zhu Wenyu naturally knew that the uncle Nangong Ling said was the "jade-faced fairy" Nangong Mu, it seems that this Nangong Ling's family tradition also has the strange study of Qimen Dunjia, and this Nangong Ling has also gone through some research, and when he was interested, he deliberately said: "Ha, I can't imagine that you still understand Qimen Dunjia in this piece of stupid wood?" I don't know anything about it, dude wood, can you tell me about it? Let me see the insights, too? ”

Nangong Ling smiled slightly and said, "Actually, this Qimen Dunjia is not very profound, it is just out of the I Ching gossip that yin and yang complement each other, and it is used in the formation organs. ”

Where is Zhu Wenyu willing to let Nangong Ling go, with his three-inch incorruptible tongue and the scoundrel ability to entangle the dead, he finally made Nangong Ling raise his hand and surrender, and explained to Zhu Wenyu the subtleties and mysteries in this Qimen Dunjia and the study of the arrangement of the array, this time Zhu Wenyu finally had something to do, and his life was much better. It was also Zhu Wenyu's curiosity, and he didn't let go even when he stayed in the store at night, and he pestered Nangong Ling to continue to speak, fortunately, Nangong Ling's temperament was harmonious, and he was extremely patient in explaining, and he was not annoyed by Zhu Wenyu's questioning, but Zhu Wenyu learned a lot and gained a lot. As for Nangong Ling, it can be said that he has never said so many words at one time, but he has gradually adapted to it, and it is much easier to speak than before, which is also an unexpected gain for Zhu Wenyu.

This Nangong family is really worthy of the first great family in martial arts, full of talents, in addition to several sets of super swordsmanship and martial arts, even the Qimen Dunjia technique of this family is also deeply studied, no wonder can live in a corner of the martial arts for hundreds of years, and its reputation has always been standing, and even the Wudang faction can only be regarded as their descendants. It's just that he is committed to the ancestral training, except for the only time when he has authorized six people to go out at the same time, follow the hero Guo Jing to guard Xiangyang and resist Mongolia together, he has been abiding by the ancestral training for hundreds of years, only letting the "three sons of Nangong" walk in the rivers and lakes at the same time, and the rest of the people are deeply hidden in the door, and many masters have spent their lives in the village without being known by the martial arts, but secretly and silently supporting the strong strength of the Nangong family. However, such a restraint on the people of the door often makes the Nangong family rarely involved in the grievances of the martial arts, and can be transcendent in several rivers and lakes, without being greatly affected, and very few people in the martial arts dare to boldly come to Nangong to cause trouble, and the Nangong family can always maintain a subtle status as the nominal leader of the martial arts, which really doesn't know whether it is a curse or a blessing.

The two rode down and down, talking and laughing, and passers-by only said which hometown gentry was rich, and the young son of the family rode a horse and traveled in autumn. It's just that only these two scholar-like sons go out alone, and they don't go with some subordinates and servants, which makes others a little surprised, and it also attracts the bad hearts of some ruffians in the countryside, and they are moved to get some oil and water from these two "young sons who don't know whether to live or die, and have no power to tie the chicken". However, if they knew that these two handsome sons were two young martial arts talents and first-class masters, I am afraid that even if they were killed, they would not dare to move this kind of thought, but the powerless scholarly appearance of these two people deceived their eyes, and they would be fooled.

Sure enough, before we arrived in Qufu, Nangong Lingzheng was talking about the study of organs, and Zhu Wenyu interjected: "Hey, I said wood, do you feel that someone is following us?" "Since the last time I learned from Zhou Yuan on the way from the capital to the Shannangong family, Zhu Wenyu has already learned a little about this tracking technique, and it is naturally easy to find that someone is following.

"Yes, there are two groups of people, two of them, within a mile of us, one old and one young, grandparents and grandchildren, have been following for three days. There is also a set at the rear twenty zhang, four people, half a day. "Nangong Lingtou is not biased.

"Hah, that's good. That's not bad at all. Zhu Wenyu smiled and gave Nangong Ling a thumbs up.

"The four people in the rear don't have much martial arts when they listen to the footsteps." Nangong Ling said again.

"Hehe, sure enough, there is a set, stupid wood, brother, I like you more and more. Those people don't even know how to follow people, they must be local gangsters, trying to rob or something, and they can't get on the stage. But there are two old and young in front, the day before yesterday behind us, yesterday a meeting before and a meeting after, only one or two miles away, today is still waiting on the road we must pass, it must be a veteran, and there are martial arts, deliberately makeup as two ancestors and grandchildren, it is estimated that there is any origin, but be careful. Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.

"Something will happen today." Nangong Ling is still a sentence.

"Thanks to this Qufu sage court, there are also robbers in the folk customs." Zhu Wenyu shook his head.
