Qi Fengjia

Xu Changan practiced in the bamboo forest for a while, and silently put away his sword.

The meaning of the little master was already very clear, so he had to go back and sit down in advance to prepare.

As soon as he returned to the bamboo building, he saw several extremely delicate food boxes on the table, Xu Changan was stunned, the little master's face was pale, and he waved his hand at him and said: "I was about to call you, my master and I don't know much about advanced cooking skills, and it can be regarded as a great success if you usually boil some porridge that is not too mushy." ”

Xu Changan heard him say this, and he also understood that this was a send-off banquet.

"Troublesome little master......" Before he could say the word "son", he saw that the light in the little master's eyes gradually dimmed, and Xu Changan immediately changed his words: "Trouble senior brother." When the little master heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"These are all signature dishes that I ordered from the major restaurants in Chang'an. When it was done, I took it myself, and it was still hot!"

The little master rolled up his sleeves, like a loving mother when a wanderer was about to travel far away, and quickly brought out one plate after another of the delicious and fragrant delicacies from the food box.

Xu Changan was stunned in place, this was the first time he had experienced so much in a year and felt at home.

At the beginning, with Mo Qingshui, it was quiet and peaceful, and I felt the smell of fireworks, but now, although there are a few fewer fireworks, there is more warmth.

There were tears rolling in Xu Changan's eyes, and the little master kept taking out things from the food box, and chattering on the side, this scene was like those gongs that covered it>

He didn't hear what the little master said, and suddenly heard a cat call, and Xu Changan came back to his senses.

I saw that the master had already arrived at the door with Xiaobai in his arms.

The little master glanced at him and urged, "Why are you stunned? Hurry up and put away your sword, wash your hands and eat." ”

Xu Changan hurriedly put the sword back, went to wash his hands again, and when he came upstairs, the master and the little master were already seated, and even Xiaobai had a seat, which was next to the master.

A table full of dishes, just three people plus a cat.

"Eat without words, sleep without words" This is what they have always followed, three people and a cat eat without words, only the master will occasionally look at Xiaobai, if there is no food in front of Xiaobai, he will continue for Xiaobai.

In the end, Xiaobai shouted with satisfaction, and the dinner for the three of them was over.

The little master cleaned up the table and put the plate into the food box, Xiaobai looked at the master's thigh, and was about to jump up, the master's sleeve waved, Xiaobai couldn't go in another half an inch, and could only look at the master with tears in his eyes.

"You see I'm useless, you better go back to your master. ”

The master raised his teeth and said with a big grin.

Xiaobai screamed twice aggrievedly, but the master didn't pay attention, he looked at Xu Chang'an, and Xu Chang'an hurriedly lowered his head.

"Since you are my disciple, I naturally want to give you something. ”

Xu Changan was silent.

"You have enough exercises on your body, as for Haoran Righteousness, this thing is very easy for you to find, everyone in the world knows that you can refine Haoran Righteousness by cultivating your own Qi, but there are a few people who can do it. Haoran righteousness is a thing that depends on you. ”

As he spoke, the master took out a worn-out book from his bosom.

"I gave it to you, saying that it is precious or not, but if you really understand, it is extremely precious. ”

Xu Changan took the crumpled book and looked at it, only to see that there were four words on it: "Warning the World and Virtue".

Xu Changan looked at the master suspiciously, this book is indeed not precious, this is something that will be taught after learning from a private school, it is full of some big truths, and it is even more basic than the "Hundred Schools of Thought" and "Sage Jinglun" that Uncle Shi asked him to read.

Xu Changan's expression was slightly embarrassed.

"Look at it well, there are some truths, it's not easy to understand one in a lifetime and practice it, the monks of the Confucius Temple are not for the top prize, and they don't have to deal with the imperial examination, but what we need to deal with is our own life. ”

Xu Changan nodded lightly in agreement.

Xiaobai shouted twice in discord.

The master turned his head, his hand stretched out, and Xiaobai stretched out his head and rubbed the master's big big hand.

"You, remember, the power of the bloodline to resist the enemy is certainly powerful, but the power to hurt oneself should not be underestimated, and the set of methods here in me these days has also learned almost everything for you. In the future, if it's hard to control, remember the gadgets you stole from me. ”

Xiaobai screamed twice, as if to express his gratitude, look at Xu Changan, and then look at the master.

The master smiled heartily.

"I know what you mean, you can teach if you want, but there's no need for that, now that the Demon Sealing Sword Body is fully open, very few demon blood or evil qi can affect him. ”

Xiaobai, who originally looked at Xu Changan with some pride, was immediately deflated when he heard this.

The master smiled heartily, and then said to Xu Changan: "I want to warn you a few words." ”

"Master, please speak. ”

"The sword is worthy of people, and people are worthy of their hearts, so they can use their hearts to make swords. ”

Xu Changan looked at the master, the master seemed to have been worried about something, is there anything wrong with him? But for the master's words, he firmly remembered.

"The students got it. ”

Xu Changan replied without being salty or light, and bowed slightly.

The master looked at him deeply, and finally said nothing, waved his sleeves and walked out of the door.

At this time, the moonlight was in full bloom outside the door.

Xu Changan looked at the master's back, and when the back disappeared, Xiaobai jumped on his shoulder, and Xu Changan slapped Xiaobai's buttocks.

"How did you get heavier. As he spoke, he smiled bitterly, sighed, and went back to the house to pack his things.

......

After the little master sent the food box back to the restaurant, he did not come back in a hurry, but went directly to the west of the city.

What was once a slum is now a small square.

The arrival of the little master directly alarmed Fu Ziling, he saw the little master stunned slightly, and after saluting the little master, he asked, "I don't know what advice the little master came to do?"

The little master hurriedly returned a salute, Fu Ziling used to be the scholar of the ancestor of Shushan, although his cultivation is not as good as himself, according to the generation, he is also a generation, according to his age, he is much older than the little master, and hurriedly said: "Fu Lao, don't be polite, the student came today, and he has no intention of disturbing, just to find an old man." ”

Fu Ziling was stunned.

"The deceased?"

As far as he knew, there was no one in the west corner of the city except for himself and the old national teacher, and besides, the old national teacher had already traveled, so who else would this old man be?

The little master didn't play dumb riddles, and directly solved Fu Ziling's doubts.

"My senior brother back then gave himself a name, called Old Knife Handle. He traveled all over the world in the early years, and only returned to Chang'an in recent years, if yes, he should live in seclusion here. ”

Fu Ziling heard the words "old knife handle" and remembered that person.

It's no wonder that he can't find out, as long as that person wants to hide himself, he is afraid that the Holy Emperor may not be able to recognize him when he stands in front of him.

"It turns out that Mr. Qi is here, and the old decay is not well entertained. ”

The little master smiled and walked in one direction, Fu Ziling was stunned, gritted his teeth, and followed.

After all, it was a person who was the best in the sword path back then, and it was extremely difficult to meet him.

Fu Ziling followed the little master to a dilapidated blacksmith shop, and the little master stood at the door of the blacksmith shop and frowned.

There was no one inside, the fire seemed to have just been extinguished, and smoke was wafting out of the stove.

In the midst of doubt, an old man came over with his back bent and his clothes in tatters, pushing a car with a lot of waste wood and some things thrown away by others.

The "old man's" hair was long and dirty, covering his face, and his clothes had turned into strips of cloth, and there was a foul smell all over his body.

The "old man" glanced at the little master, his dark and shining eyes and the little master looked at each other, and then said lightly: "Wait a while." ”

With that, he pushed the car into his shop, then changed his clothes, pulled his hair back of his head, and walked out with his head held high.

It was a down-and-out old man who went in, but what came out was a sturdy man.

"Senior brother. When the little master saw the man, he exclaimed.

The man waved his hand, didn't pay attention to him, but bowed slightly to Fu Ziling and said, "I've been here for a long time, and I haven't said hello to Fu Lao, I'm really ashamed." ”

Fu Ziling hurriedly said: "Where, Mr. can come to this place, it is an honor for us. ”

"However, why does Mr. want to be ......" Fu Ziling then asked, the sturdy man smiled, sighed and said: "I'm also helpless, it's not easy to make a living, my blacksmith shop here has very little business, and I can only sell a few hoes occasionally, life is a problem, isn't it the Ministry of Industry repairing recently, there are a lot of scraps, I can still use them, if I go like this, I can't be caught by them?" Naturally, the waste will not be given to me, so I can only pretend to be a weak old man, so that those officials are happy, and they will give a few copper plates. ”

When the little master heard this, his heart was sour.

Fu Ziling was silent for a long time, and then said, "Or I'll let ......."

The man stretched out his hand and said, "Don't, I'm doing well now." Moreover, Fu Lao, you also know that I am just a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes now, and I can't stand the Lu of the court and the Confucius Temple. ”

When the little master heard this, he was a little embarrassed, so he glanced at Fu Ziling, and Fu Ziling left with interest.

"Senior brother. ”

"Don't, I can't stand this senior brother, I have already been expelled from the Confucius Temple. ”

"You still have a master in your heart, and a Confucius Temple, otherwise how could you ...... when the master left Chang'an?"

The middle-aged man turned around suddenly, stared at the little master and said, "When I go back to Chang'an, I don't want to take care of the Confucius Temple for that old thing, nor do I want to guard anything, I'm just tired!"

His voice grew louder and louder, as if to hide what he was really thinking.

"I'm tired!

The little master lowered his head and did not dare to say any more.

"Tell me, what are you doing here? That old thing wants to drive me away?"

The little master hurriedly shook his head.

"No, no, Master, the old man didn't say anything. ”

The middle-aged man's expression suddenly became a little gloomy.

"About me Qi Fengjia, is this old thing so disdainful?"

The little master didn't know what to say, so he could only keep his head down, and as before, he lowered his head when he made a mistake.

When he made a mistake and didn't dare to speak, there was always a senior brother who spoke for him, but now, he is standing in front of his senior brother as if he was standing in front of his master.

Qi Fengjia looked at the little master, and his voice softened.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"Master has taken in a new little junior brother, and that little junior brother is a little impulsive, and wants to ask the senior brother to protect Ichigo. ”

When Qi Fengjia heard this, he sneered: "I know, it's called Xu Chang'an, that son." What's the matter, does Master want to climb their high branches?"

The little master sighed and said, "Senior brother, don't provoke me, you know, even those few will not be too troublesome in front of the master." ”

Qi Fengjia lifted the boiling hot water from the small stove, ran a cup of tea for himself, sat on the stool, squinted his eyes and asked, "What does that stunned young man want to do?" ”

"I don't know if he'll go, but just in case, I'd better talk to my brother. ”

"He knows about the eldest prince, I guess with his temperament, he won't let Xuanyuan go so easily. ”

Qi Fengjia looked at him, baring his teeth and sneering.

"You want me to protect that kid Xuanyuan?"

The little master shook his head.

Qi Fengjia stood up, put the cup on the dirty table, and then said, "Your Confucius Temple finally has a backbone." ”

"Okay, the affairs of the people in the rivers and lakes are handled according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, and if you have a life, you will have a gold leaf, but you will not have a life of ten taels of silver. ”

The little master suddenly looked happy, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

"Let's go. ”

The little master turned around, he still couldn't rest assured about Xu Changan, and this time he came to find his senior brother Qi Fengjia to hide it from the master.

"By the way, I'm afraid that this little junior brother can't walk the rivers and lakes with his real name, the rivers and lakes are unpredictable, I'm afraid ......"

Qi Fengjia, who was in the dark, said lightly: "Get out! Lao Tzu is not a wet nurse, help you take care of the children." ”

The little master was a little unwilling, but in the face of this senior brother, he didn't dare to say much. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "He is friends with your apprentice of the eldest prince of the Northern Barbarian Shuohe Division......

There was silence in the room, and a glimmer of hope appeared on the little master's face.

"Get out!" finally came out of the room.

The little master didn't dare to stay, he was injured, and it was not easy for his senior brother to take care of Xu Chang'an in Chang'an.

After a long time, a voice came from the room.

Qi Fengjia muttered to himself: "Su Qing, this kid also wrote to me and told me that if you are on the way, it is not impossible to take care of one or two." ”

(This character was mentioned when Su Qing appeared in the second volume, does anyone remember, the outcast of Confucius Temple.) ）
