Coincidentally, just after scolding Yu Hengsi at noon, in the afternoon, Yu Hengsi's people suddenly appeared at the door of Cheng's mansion.

Visit.

Although they are guests, and the words are respectful and elegant, everyone has an arrogant look on their faces that you owe me money...... With that polite look, it's like a mask that can't be taken off after staying for a long time.

The black-clothed mechanics didn't stay long in the 'study' full of fitness tools, and they quickly said goodbye and left with gloomy expressions.

Words don't seem to be speculative.

"Are you pulling people to exercise again?"

Li Bai asked.

"Heh, if they have the slightest idea of exercising, will they grow into that boring look." Cheng Yanjin picked up the teacup angrily, took a sip, and chewed the tea leaves: "It's a waste of my pot of good tea." ”

Li Bai shook his head and sighed.

Unexpectedly, Yu Hengsi, who was invincible in Chang'an City, was now deflated in Chengfu.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Haha, guess."

Cheng Yanjin smiled mysteriously, tossed the tea bowl in his hand, and looked proud, but he didn't say anything.

And on the table, in the brocade box that Yu Hengsi's mechanics forgot to take away, a fist-sized glass bead reflected the sunlight in the courtyard, shining.

"I'm still going to say something that matters." Li Bai said: "Are they bribing you?" ”

"Hey, my Master Cheng is famous for his clean sleeves, don't talk nonsense......"

Cheng Yanjin glanced at the things on the table and shook his head in disgust: "This thing is not so much a treasure as a trouble." ”

"What is this?"

"Organ nucleus."

Cheng Yanjin snorted.

It's impossible, I've seen the nucleus, how can it be so big......

Before the words were spoken, Li Bai reacted...... The only Xun Qing nucleus I have ever seen is probably really the cheapest one in the entire Chang'an.

But it's different from the one Li Bai has seen.

Do you always feel that the colors are much darker?

"Don't look at it, it's fake."

Cheng Yanjin shook his head: "Recently, a large number of forged organ cores have been established, and the anxious Yu Hengsi jumped to his feet, and now he remembered to burn incense and worship the Buddha everywhere to find someone to help." When you offended people in the past, why didn't you want to do things and leave a line? Hmph, even if I agree, I'm afraid other people won't be able to do it there...... If you want me to see, this time there is a chance that Yu Hengsi will be hung up, and it will be used as a negative teaching material during the court meeting. ”

Li Bai didn't care about the flies hidden behind them, he picked up the forged organ core and carefully distinguished it.

suddenly remembered the "baby" Xun Qing had in hand.

The one he touched from the kidnapper's arms at the scene of the Xiche kidnapping case was much smaller than this one, but it was still a rare organ ......

Is there any connection between these two things?

However, Cheng Yanjin doesn't know much. In order not to let Xun Qing get involved in new troubles, Li Bai didn't say much, but just prepared a letter, planning to ask Li Xiang to help him bring it back when he came at night.

It's just that in the evening of the same day, Li Xiang didn't come.

Wait until the three hundred drums of dusk are finished.

The teenager didn't show up.

A dark cloud gradually appeared in Li Bai's heart.

Earlier, in the early afternoon, smoke rose from the broken shops amid the sound of cries. The thugs violently lit the flames and burned everything in the shop.

"See? This is the end of illegal construction! ”

The man in a new cyan dress turned his head proudly and spat at the boss who was crying on the ground: "It's all you guys who have ruined the city's appearance for one or two money, and Chang'an City has become so congested - you dare to cry, it's you shameless old things who beat you!" ”

With that, he rushed up and kicked it.

The man with a blue nose and swollen face on the ground hugged his wife and asked angrily: "Wang Anliu! Everyone is a remnant, when you were about to starve to death, my family gave you a bite to eat! Don't you have a conscience! ”

"Conscience? You old thing deserve to tell me about your conscience? ”

Wang Anliu's face became more and more ugly, and he rushed up with his accomplices to punch and kick the shopkeeper, lifted the cauldron that was originally used to cook Hu spicy soup, smashed it on the ground, and smashed it directly into pieces!

Until an angry roar rang out from outside the alley.

"Stop!"

Xun Qing hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, pushed away the crowd of onlookers, and saw Wang Anliu's triumphant appearance, and the mess all over the ground, and suddenly his face became iron-blue.

"You did it?"

"This is called cleaning the city of Chang'an."

Wang Anliu and the accomplices behind him laughed, laughed, and waved their hands coldly: "Get away, dog, for the sake of past friendships, I won't trouble you." ”

"Wang Anliu, I know that after you joined the Tsing Yi Club, your waist was stiff, and you relied on stepping on the heads of your old relatives and friends to make a fortune, and you were very majestic."

He squeezed out a hoarse voice from between his teeth: "If Dao Xuangong wakes up in a few days and knows that you are doing this, do you think your good brothers can protect you?" ”

At the mention of Dao Xuangong, Wang Anliu suddenly changed color, subconsciously took a step back, and then rose red, rolled up his sleeves angrily, directly pulled out the iron rod in the hands of his companion and walked up, shouting angrily:

"Move out an old thing to scare me? Dog, do you believe it or not, I'll send you to accompany him now? ”

"Okay, come!"

Xun Qing's face twitched, but he didn't show the pus-filled appearance he expected to run away with his head in his hands, he actually stood still and didn't move, but took out an iron card from his sleeve and put it in front of him: "Do you know what this is?" Organiser certificate - so many people are watching here today, I don't fight back, you dare to move me, go to Yu Hengsi's prison tonight to lay on the floor! ”

He roared angrily: "Do you really think that Chang'an has no royal law!" ”

When the cowardly dog who was looked down upon in the past became angry, Wang Anliu instinctively wanted to let him know the price of coming out, but when Xun Qing suddenly took out the certificate of the organ master from his sleeve, Wang Anliu reacted...... Now Xun Qing has been admitted to the organ division, and he is no longer the dog who is bullied by everyone.

But seeing the defeated dog in the past so rampant, he was so angry that his eyes were red, the iron rod in his hand had just been raised, and several companions behind him glanced at each other, and hurriedly pounced.

"Big brother, forget it......"

"And let him run rampant for a while."

"How to call someone, turn around and let him know the consequences of offending the green shirt!"

After hurriedly throwing down a few cruel words, he dragged Wang Anliu away.

In the mess, Xun Qing stood in place and gasped violently, his hands trembling.

I don't know if I'm angry or scared.

When he finally calmed down, he looked back at the old couple on the ground, and their stalls that had already been unrecognizable, and his lips spurted, not knowing what to say.

Instead, the boss who comforted his wife slowly got up and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Ah ...... Qing, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have been beaten to death today. ”

"It's good if my uncle calls me a dog, those dogs are relying on Dao Xuangong to be injured, and they have no time to pay attention to them, so they will come out to be clowns."

Xun Qing comforted: "Sooner or later, there will be a reckoning." ”

"I hope so." The boss shook his head and sighed, already heartbroken.

Xun Qing suggested: "If you don't dislike it, before you clean it up here, let's stay at my house for the next two days." ”

"Clean up, you can still live in people, where can I trouble you." The boss snorted for a long time and shook his head: "Forget it." ”

He knew that Xun Qing was very busy these days, where could he trouble him again.

"My family can't do it, Dao Xuangong's workshop is always fine, right?"

Xun Qing took a step forward and grabbed their hands: "Even if Dao Xuangong knows, he will definitely agree with me." Besides, so many people in the workshop have been eating and drinking recently, and they always have to have someone to help them, right? Uncles and aunts, please don't refuse. ”

The old couple looked at each other, pondered for a moment, and finally agreed.

Xun Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and took the other remnants to help them pack up their things, send them to the organ carriage, and was about to grab the things to visit Mrs. Zhu again, but heard the organ carriage in the distance galloping again.

It is a delivery truck for the workshop.

Almost hit the wall.

In the car, Mide jumped down with a panicked expression: "Brother Dog, it's not good!" ”

"What's going on?" Xun Qing's heart tightened: "Are the dogs in Qingshanlang making trouble again?" ”

"No, no, no...... Not them! ”

Mite's dry swallowing foam, wheezing violently: "It's a workshop...... Dao Xuan Gong ...... The doctor said that Dao Xuangong's injuries had worsened, and he was already in a high fever! ”

Dead.

Xun Qing looked at his face blankly.

Staggered back a step.

Holding on to the wall, he was almost unsteady.

A heart, after all, sinks to the bottom.

In the distance, there was a loud roar of the Fang City.

A violent tremor came.

It was as if the earth shook the sky.

waited until midnight, and Li Xiang did not come.

The uneasiness in Li Bai's heart became stronger and stronger.

Can't wait.

"Nope."

He jumped up and walked to the gate: "I need to go back immediately!" ”

"It's all curfew, are you out of the workshop to send performance to the patrolling Jin Wuwei?"

Cheng Yanjin, who was nibbling on chicken legs and drinking wine in the yard, raised his head: "Your friend is fine, don't worry, I can promise you ......"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not in the habit of putting my friend's safety in the hands of others!"

"Then it seems that there is no other way."

Cheng Biting Jin shook his head, chewed the chicken leg bone in his hand, and slowly got up: "Do you remember what you promised me, Li Bai, if you don't win against me, you don't want to go anywhere." ”

"Come on!"

Li Bai said coldly: "Who is afraid! ”

This time, not giving this guy a chance to blow up again, he stepped forward and punched!

Assault the Iron Wall!

A quarter of an hour later, Li Bai staggered back, sat down on the steps weakly, sweating like pulp, and under the effect of the 'Thousand Days of Drunkenness', he no longer had the strength to stand firm.

And Cheng Biting Jin just had a swollen piece of his face that didn't hurt or itch.

"If your skills are not as good as others, you must obediently abide by the agreement and go back to rest."

Cheng Yanjin pulled a rag over and wiped the sweat on his face, "Don't think about running away at night, I have eyes on the back of my head, if you dare to run, I will never return the sword to you." ”

He turned and walked away humming a song.

Brisk steps.

But Li Bai lay on the steps tiredly, and no longer had the strength to move. Just silently looking at the black sky, the night sky behind the neon stars.

Long.

After a fight with Cheng Yanjin, he finally calmed down a little.

Then, he felt a hot towel drop on his face.

Cheng Yanjin's big head poked out of the oblique time, and he was still holding the clip in his hand, and smiled at him proudly: "I guess you don't have the strength to take a bath tonight, so you can wipe your face by yourself." ”

Li Bai stretched out his hand, pressed the hot towel, and covered his face.

Take a deep breath, for a long time.

Silent sighs.

And Cheng Biting Jin, sitting on the steps next to him, nibbled on the apple.

"Actually, the nickname 'Heavenly Man' suits you very well." He said suddenly.

"Huh?" Li Bai was puzzled.

"You see, it's the one who soars in the sky, who goes wherever he wants, unrestrained, light-hearted—like an immortal, far from the dust."

Cheng Yanjin said: "Also stay away from things on the ground." ”

"......" Li Bai frowned: "It doesn't feel like a good word." ”

"No, it's a pity."

Cheng Yanjin said: "A person like you with talent and talent, a person with strength beyond the reach of ordinary people, is destined to make great achievements."

You shouldn't get too involved in things that have nothing to do with you, falling into the world will only make you lost in this world. Because things on earth are too complicated and troublesome, everyone thinks differently, and when everyone comes together, it will only become a huge whirlpool.

How many geniuses may be able to make achievements in isolation, but with confidence and curiosity, they crashed headlong into the whirlpool...... Then, unconsciously, he drifted away from the direction he had started. After reacting, everything is too late to regret, old age and weakness, even if there is a heroic wish, there is nothing to do.

There are many more people who, having spent their entire lives, have not been able to find the answer. ”

“……”

Li Bai was silent for a moment, took off the towel on his face, raised his eyes and looked at the man beside him: "I don't like what you said, and I don't think flying in the sky is something to be proud of."

I'm going to do something just because I want to do it, I hope you don't get me wrong. ”

"Ha, I know, genius pride."

Cheng Yanjin shook his head and smiled: "If you want me to say, you don't need to be in a hurry at all...... Because, even if you are in a hurry, it is useless. ”

"The matter of Anle Fang is not something that can be solved by a sword, Li Bai."

The rough man turned his head and looked at him, he had already seen through the complicated and chaotic situation: "You can't replace Lu Daoxuan, and you can't save them."

People must learn to save themselves, Li Bai, this is not something that your sword can solve - if the remnants of Anle Fang are still scattered and unsuccessful, then no matter how much you pay for them, there will be no result.

The only one who can get them up from the abyss is themselves.

If you can manage it for a day, can you manage it for a lifetime...... Or do you have the same determination as your Great Elder? ”

Cheng Yanjin sighed lightly: "He devoted his life to dedicating all his efforts to that city, without asking for anything in return, just to make those who are lonely and helpless live better."

He knows the bitterness and pain, so he doesn't want you to repeat the mistakes of the past - you are still too young, Li Bai, this is not your duty, you do not belong to Anlefang, and you do not owe them anything.

It would be a shame if your life was wasted here because of this. ”

"I didn't think of anything so great!" Li Bai raised his head and replied seriously: "I just want to protect my friend!" ”

"Ha, if the group of people in Anle Fang are still unlucky like this, who will find a way to target your friends?

You're the one who brings them trouble, right? ”

Li Bai was stunned.

"What? Didn't you notice? You yourself are the one who really ignites the murderous intent of the villains, Li Bai! ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled, as if mocking: "Answer me, Li Bai, when you challenge Wu Yougong, is it because of your own anger, or for the cry of others?" ”

"I ......"

Li Bai wanted to answer, but his words stopped for a moment.

Because, even he himself is difficult to distinguish...... When he challenged Wu Yougong to draw his sword, it was because of those painful cries, and how much was because of the anger of the moment.

"Look."

Cheng bit his hands and grinned: "Even you haven't thought it through yourself." ”

After a short silence, Li Bai asked, "What if I say it's for them?" ”

"What does that have to do with me." Cheng Yanjin shook his head indifferently: "How do you like it?" ”

Li Bai was annoyed, raised his voice and asked, "Is it wrong to be angry because of your own momentary indignation?" Is there a problem if you want to draw your sword when you see the road unevenly! ”

"Of course there is."

Cheng Yanjin turned around and asked calmly: "Because you hesitated, didn't you?" Just as I was asking you, you hesitated. ”

Li Bai was silent.

Speechless.

"Don't be ashamed, Li Bai, this is not something to be ashamed of."

Cheng Yanjin said: "Because you haven't made up your mind yet, you have encountered something that the sword can't solve, and you are very confused, so you need to think." ”

"Thinking about what?"

"How do I know?" Cheng Yanjin shook his head in disgust: "All in all, just think about it until you won't hesitate anymore." ”

Li Bai frowned: "Even if you don't hesitate, what?" ”

"That way, no matter what happens, you won't regret it."

Cheng Yanjin smiled, like a Buddha holding a flower, his eyes were full of calm and wisdom: "Whether it is for yourself, or for others, for money, for art, for beauty, or for any other purpose."

Carefully pondering one's own decisions, using one's own strength carefully, and in the end, coming to a conclusion that it must be done. The only thing left is the determination to carry out this part with perseverance.

When the time comes, you'll never back down again.

If it is me who stands in front of you, you will defeat me, and if it is the whole world that stands in front of you, then you will overthrow the world as well.

You're too young until then......"

In the long silence, Li Bai looked at him in amazement.

It's like in the midst of countless complex myths and troubles, a straight path has suddenly been found. It's hard to imagine that one day I will be drunk by this muscular guy.

Completely, speechless.

And Cheng Biting Jin, his eyebrows fluttered, and he smiled proudly: "How is it?" This is the line I found after a night of scripting, amazing! ”

“……”

In an instant, all the gratitude in Li Bai's heart completely dissipated.

Sure enough, I believe that this guy definitely has something wrong with his own brain. But what is unbelievable is that a trace of realization faintly rose in his heart.

It's as if I've finally grasped something from a state of confusion.

It's not the momentary anger or the impulse to get up to the head, but what really matters and what people really care about.

But when he really thought about it, this realization quickly disappeared without a trace.

By the time he came to his senses again, it was already early in the morning of the next day.

Dew slid down his face.

It's dawn.

"Determination...... Is it? ”

He murmured softly, and in front of his lap, a crisp chirp faintly spread.

A blade of nothingness chirped.
