In the flower garden, a golden chrysanthemum poked out of the flowers slightly, and the branches already revealed a hint of coldness.

A chrysanthemum, independent flowers.

Zhang Jian raised his eyes, and put his hands on his chest, facing the four figures in the sky, to be precise, the first two, a fat old man, an old man, a slight courtesy.

Qin Xian asked Liang Lusheng, "Who are they?" ”

Liang Lusheng said with a solemn expression: "That fat old man is the emperor of Da Yan, Jiang Chan!" One of the five people at the top of the martial arts peak; That old Taoist priest should be too Xiao Xuandao! One of the three towns of Da Yan. After a pause, he sighed: "You seem to be in trouble this time!" ”

Liang Lusheng didn't deliberately lower his voice, congratulations naturally heard it, although he tried his best to show a look of indifference, but his eyebrows still couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he said with a pout: "Give him back, it's okay, I don't know it's a Daomen......

"Confucian Zhang Jian, I have seen Jiang senior, Xiao Zhenren." Zhang Jiandao.

Xiao Xuandao was silent, his ears and nose were watching.

Jiang Chan smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, you are a Confucian gentleman in the world, but you are higher than the two of us in terms of seniority, you can't help it, you can't help it." ”

Old man Ge put the watering kettle on the stone table, and the bottom of the pot lightly touched the stone table, making a trace of "ooh" sound, although it was not big, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Everyone glanced at it.

Old man Ge took care of himself and went to the paper, with a posture that the things in the field had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Jian smiled helplessly and muttered: "The seniors are still so stupid! ”

Immediately, he remembered Xiao Xuandao's words, and asked Xiao Xuandao, "I don't know what Xiao Zhenren said just now?" ”

"That's what you heard!"

Without waiting for Zhang Jian to answer, congratulations replied: "I took it on a whim, I didn't intend to take it, Mr. Four and I met for the first time today, you don't want to spew blood, you just return the things, what else?" ”

Jiang Chan smiled and lowered his voice, "I didn't mean to take it, is it so coincidental?" ”

"Or else?" Congratulations provocatively.

"Old ancestor, Xiao Zhenren and Tang Gu just arrived in Zuzhou, they were targeted and robbed, and they couldn't be on the table to steal the door, and they weren't so bold, according to the lower officials, there must be others involved in this, and they wanted to take Tang Gu so that when the cave was opened, they would take the lead." Hong Feiluan first saluted Jiang Chan and Xiao Xuandao, and then inadvertently glanced at Gong Xi and Zhang Jian.

"You fart! I didn't know Mr. Four at all before, I just heard his name, how can I collude! Gong Xi was furious, pointing at Hong Feiluan and scolding.

Hong Feiluan's eyes immediately turned cold, "Boy, are you looking for death?" ”

Congratulations smiled, although he lacked confidence, he was sure that Mr. Four would not stand idly by, so he scolded and scolded.

His eyes were like a cunning fox, dripping and turning, and then he spat out a fragrant fragrance and greeted Hong Feiluan's ancestor all over again.

Hong Feiluan's face was pale, and he pinched his sword finger, and wanted to kill this son, but Jiang Chan raised his hand to stop him.

Xiao Xuandao said at the right time: "Why are the four gentlemen here?" ”

Qin Xian couldn't get used to the empty mouth and white teeth of these people, stealing the hand stove was a temporary idea between him and his senior brother, and now it actually involved Mr., although Mr. tried his best to prevent him from practicing, but he never complained about Mr., because Mr. that day's words were indeed for his own good in his opinion, but he didn't want to.

was about to explain aloud, but was preempted by Liang Lusheng. "Sir is looking for me! It has nothing to do with this thief who steals the door! ”

"Oh? Who are you? Why is Mr. Four looking for you? Xiao Xuandao asked.

"I am a disciple of Mr. Fourth in Beixue, this time I came to visit Mr., I met a friend a few days ago, so I stayed here for a few days, which made Mr. worried, so I came to find me, and it has nothing to do with your bullshit soup valley!"

His own heavenly magic weapon was said to be bullshit, Xiao Xuandao was not annoyed, and still asked expressionlessly, "I don't know which friend?" ”

"It's me!" Although Qin Xian was surprised that Liang Lusheng called herself a friend, she taught herself the Sword Sutra, and there was a friendship, and he who never lied, and he also agreed to it for the first time.

"I don't know if you're it?"

"Which one are you? Check the accounts? But I'm not afraid to tell you, this is my little junior brother, a new disciple who has been recruited by the thief. Congratulations said impatiently.

The water in the old man's watering pot gradually turned into ice, and suddenly the ice slowly melted and became water again.

"You are a big man, your friend is a thief, he stole Tang Gu, Mr. Four came to look for you, I think the matter is already very clear, ancestor." Hong Feiluan said to Jiang Chan in a deep voice.

"Sir is here to look for me, because I ......," Qin Xian said.

Zhang Jian suddenly interrupted him and looked at Jiang Chan: "Senior, what do you mean by this?" ”

Qin Xian was stunned, not knowing why Mr. didn't let her finish.

When the gentleman interrupted him, he glanced at himself, and he found that his gaze was a little complicated, with joy, emotion, and a sadness that was colder than the wind and shallower than the snow, but real.

Facing Zhang Jian's questioning, Jiang Chan smiled: "Mr. Four, I'm old, I only dare to believe what I see." ”

"That'...... What do seniors want? ”

"Now that the two dynasties are truce, harmonious coexistence, naturally I won't take Mr. how, but although the hand stove has not been lost, but this matter has been spread, my Da Yan and Dao Men are very unsightly, after all, it is a heavenly magic weapon, and it will not be a joke in the future if it is taken away by a kid." Jiang Chan said slowly.

"It's okay for seniors to say it directly!" Zhang Jiandao.

"In this case, you give me the two boys who stole the things, and bring them back to Da Yan to punish according to the law, as for Mr., whether he is involved in it or not, I will pretend not to know."

When Zhang Jian heard this, he already knew in his heart that this was coming for himself.

Zhang Jian shook his head and said: "Senior, this heavenly magic weapon is in the hands of Xiao Zhenren, even if it is me, I can't snatch it, let alone have you by the side, why is it so difficult for the two juniors." ”

Jiang Chan smiled and said nothing.

Hong Feiluan suddenly thought of it, so he pointed at Qin Xian and said, "This kid, killing one of my Da Yan's guards, plus stealing Tang Gu, shouldn't be dealt with by Da Yan." ”

"That's for self-preservation." Zhang Jian still shook his head warmly.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

Zhang Jian turned around, and saw a person hurriedly walking towards this side of the deep forest in the distance.

Snow-white round-necked robes, jet-black hair, and scholars who came, like the wind.

Gong Xi and Qin Xian's face suddenly showed panic.

Xu Lai quickly stepped forward and saluted deeply to Zhang Jian, "Mr. Four! Then he said, "An old couple came to the school, saying that they were looking for you. ”

Fang Cai was far away and didn't notice it, but when he got closer, Zhang Jian saw that Xu Lai's whole face was full of panic, he had never seen this kind of him!

In Zhang Jian's impression, this junior has always been very calm, and his eyes are always bright and clear, showing his teacher's wisdom, composure and self-confidence beyond ordinary people.

Xu Lai seemed to have just noticed the half-empty valley at this moment, and he panicked and said in surprise: "This is?" ”

Zhang Jian didn't answer, but asked strangely, "What couple?" What do you want me to do? ”

"Say yes...... I said I was looking for your life! ”

Qin Xian had only seen the expression on her husband's face once, and that was when he said that he was going to kill the monkey demon.

Zhang Jian was stunned, his expression was complicated, but he suddenly smiled, but any fool could see how bitter he laughed.

The two words "repaying life" involved one of his hearts, and the past was like that, floating and down, slowly pulling out.

……

That winter, he was twenty-eight.

At that time, it was already October Mengdong, the atmosphere of the cave state was warm, the flowers were in full bloom, as if there was the wind of early spring, and the climate of this autumn and rejuvenation was called "small spring".

At this time, it is rumored that there is a kind of elixir in the cave state, which grows in the glow of the sun, and will bloom once a year, the flowers are like an inverted sword, and the color is gray-green like bronze, but the most amazing thing is that the petals can be seen faintly textured, and the rumor seems to be that the master left a holy text, called "Xia Liquid Wen", which can make the stubborn stone enlightened, and the heart is clear, and then use it with appropriate Confucianism, you can live a hundred years without harm.

At that time, Zhang Jian traveled through Juguo Prefecture and wanted to find it on a whim.

After looking for several months without success, when I was about to leave, I passed by a village, and someone married a girl, and saw that he was a Confucian scholar, so he was graciously invited to the table.

But on such a good day, the bride did burst into tears, and she couldn't get on the sedan chair no matter how much she persuaded her.

Zhang Jian learned that the family has a son and a daughter, the son has repeatedly failed to enter the office, spent all the family's savings, and was finally accepted as a talent by the Juguo Zhou School Palace, the daughter has not deliberately studied, but she is full of economy, and her memory and cognition are beyond ordinary people, and the woman also wants to enter the office, and does not want to get married.

When Zhang Jian heard about it, he tried it, and sure enough, the woman was extremely smart and wanted to accept her as a doorman, but the woman readily agreed, so she helped the woman withdraw from her relatives and agreed to pick her up the next day to return to Beixue.

But! Jealousy, flesh and blood are especially ruthless to outsiders!

On the second day, Zhang Jian came to the door, and what he saw was not a woman, but his brother, saying that the woman repented yesterday and had married overnight, and gave him the place of this disciple.

Zhang Jian was so smart that he knew that her brother was the troublemaker of everything, so he didn't accept him for anything, and only asked where the woman was married.

Under Zhang Jian's questioning, her family said where to go out, and Zhang Jian took the woman out.

The woman knew that it would be difficult to come back this time, and wanted to go home to say goodbye to her parents, Zhang Jian agreed, but this time it was forever separated.

Her brother was so jealous that he killed him and buried him in the pigsty.

Zhang Jian learned that his anger was like the red sun in the sky, burning through the entire village, and he wanted to kill such a ruthless beast.

But it was blocked by the whole village, and the villagers pleaded for mercy, this villager, only this one son shows talent, if he is killed, the village and the family will be considered extinct.

Hundreds of villagers did not speak up for the woman!

Seeing that he still didn't give up, an old man raised "Hundred virtues and filial piety come first!" ”

Misinterpret its meaning: If it is killed, who serves his parents, the incense is broken, where can he do good, and Confucianism does not count what he says?

Zhang Jian was a little shocked, Confucianism taught all beings to be benevolent, but he didn't expect the word "filial piety" to be interpreted in this way!
