Chapter 20: The Little Master's Truth
The little master's truth
The old man was wearing a cyan robe, with a high crown, and the white hair on his temples was obviously carefully combed and looked meticulous. A red tide appeared on the old man's face, and he looked at Tang Zhengtang with anger in his eyes.
"Vulgar!"
He led the way to the door, and the gate had already been kicked by Tang Zhengtang, and at this time, a few people were a little curious and wanted to probe to see, but they saw a person lying on the ground, and they immediately dispersed.
After the old man came in, Tang Zhengtang frowned, looked at the old man, and also looked at the more than a dozen young people in Confucian robes who poured in from outside the door.
They ran to the old man's side, and immediately made a move, and shouted in unison, "Sir." ”
The old man waved his hand, then slightly stirred the skirt of the robe and walked in front of Tang Zhengtang. Although Tang Zhengtang didn't like it in his heart, he didn't say much, after all, he felt that the person in front of him was stronger than him.
The old man sniffed vigorously, and then said, "It's so murderous." ”
Tang Zhengtang's eyes narrowed.
He generally squints in two ways, the first is when he is extremely comfortable, when he is warm and cold, lying on the haystack, squinting in the sun, and the second is when he is killing.
"The qualifications for cultivation are good, and the book pavilion used to guard the academy is the best. ”
The old man didn't care about Tang Zhengtang, but continued: "In such an important place as the Library, if you don't get a fierce person to go, you really can't suppress it. ”
Tang Zhengtang couldn't hold back any longer.
This reminded him of a dog that was sold on the street, and the passers-by pointed at the dog, talked about its appearance, talked about its character, and finally flicked his sleeve and found a few pennies to pick a dog from the cage and take it home.
When he was a child, he used to envy those cage dogs.
Because as long as someone sees him, he can follow him home, eat delicious food, and have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Tang Zhengtang is a stray child with no friends, and his only friend is a skinny stray dog.
There used to be a lot of dog dealers who tried to catch the dog, but it ran away. At that time, Tang Zhengtang didn't understand why the old dog was reluctant to be taken home, preferring to pick up food in the garbage heap by himself, preferring to be crowded under the eaves with him on a rainy day, and why he was unwilling to accept a better life.
Until one day, the old dog was so hungry that he went to the garbage heap to find food. In the end, he dragged a corpse in front of Tang Zhengtang.
This is the old dog's friend, in fact, it is not a friend, and when he is locked in the cage, he and the old dog bark at each other. Although Tang Zhengtang couldn't understand what the old dog was barking at that time, looking at its posture, it was definitely not a good thing.
Looking at this corpse, the old dog whimpered twice, and rubbed it towards Tang Zhengtang, who was still weak at the time, Tang Zhengtang understood what it meant, and when he was still young, he dug a pit and buried the old dog's dog friend.
That day, Tang Zhengtang suddenly understood why the old dog would rather pick up garbage outside and sleep in the open than go to someone's house.
Freedom and dignity are above all else.
That is, from that day on, Tang Zhengtang began to strengthen his body constantly, and he didn't think about being adopted anymore.
Including now.
Although the Criminal Department also arrested him, the Criminal Department respects the bad handsome very much and will not interfere in the bad handsome's affairs, but when the criminal department has something, the bad handsome must do it.
Even this time, Xue Zhengwu heard that his assistant was out of Chang'an, so he hurriedly went to find the bad handsome in person.
Originally, he didn't come on this trip, but he thought that he had fought side by side with this little marquis outside Chang'an City, so he took the initiative to invite Ying and came to this Anhai City.
Since beating the old dog and leaving, Tang Zhengtang has understood that he needs dignity and freedom. And both of these require strength and ferocity to obtain.
Therefore, he has achieved the name of "gluttony", killing people without blinking, eating people without spitting out bones.
But he never thought that today, he would see the kind of gaze he hated the most in this Anhai City.
It's exactly the same as the way dog dealers look at the dogs in their cages.
He drew his sword sharply,
The sword aura burst out instantly, the old man tapped his toes, jumped lightly, and the skirt of the robe was rolled up by the wind, with the old face and white hair, with a trace of fairy energy.
The courtyard wall of the Mei family collapsed suddenly, but fortunately, the people were startled open before, and there were no idlers outside the wall at this time.
"Domineering!
With a smile on his face, the old man stroked his long, well-groomed beard.
Tang Zhengtang has already tried it out after a simple knife, and this old man's strength is far above himself.
He is already an Upper Realm Grandmaster, and he will soon be able to break through to the peak Grandmaster, if he is stronger than himself, wouldn't he be a Great Grandmaster?
He didn't go to the knife again because it wasn't necessary.
"Keep saying that it's a academy, old thing, which academy are you. ”
The old man was not annoyed, he bowed his head slightly, squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, and said with a complacent look: "There are five famous academies in the world, and the old man is a gentleman in Tianlu Academy, surnamed Shi, and the word is sincere." ”
Tang Zhengtang looked at Shi Rencheng and said slowly: "Since you are from the academy, why do you want to come here to get involved in the affairs here, I heard that the people of the academy study and cultivate the righteousness of the world, and the temples and rivers and lakes have nothing to do with it, why did they come out today?"
Shi Rencheng nodded.
"It seems that you still have some understanding of the academy, so when you go to the academy to keep the book pavilion in the future, it will be easier. He didn't answer the question, Tang Zhengtang seemed to have become a dog tied to the gate of Tianlu Academy.
"Entrusted by the deceased, please invite the little marquis of Xu Changan to go to the academy to have a look. ”
This old man, needless to say, Tang Zhengtang knows who it is.
Except for the people who have the power to invite the academy, the rest of the people, even the Holy Emperor has no way to take the academy.
Tang Zhengtang looked at the old man and pulled out the knife again.
"Isn't there room for negotiation?"
"Nope. ”
Tang Zhengtang ran towards the old man violently, but before he could reach him, Shi Rencheng waved his sleeves, and Tang Zhengtang rolled out backwards and fell into the dust.
Cheng Baiyi also covered his mouth and stood up at this time, and his voice changed slightly, like the sound of being locked in a big urn, thinking that he had just been slapped by Tang Zhengtang and fanned a few teeth.
"Look at you're still proud!"
After pointing to Tang Zhengtang in the dust and saying a word, he saluted respectfully to the Shi Ren.
"Master, how can there be an apprentice like you!" he glanced at Cheng Baiyi, and then said, Cheng Baiyi hurriedly lowered his head and didn't say much.
"Okay, entrusted by others, if you can't resist it, follow me to the academy!"
As he spoke, he turned around.
The dust slowly fell, and Tang Zhengtang's figure was revealed, he was half-kneeling on the ground, and blood was spilling from the corners of his mouth.
"Unless I die!"
As he spoke, he lifted his knife again, and slashed at it with a huge sword.
Shi Rencheng turned around, stretched out two fingers, and caught the knife.
The knife was like porcelain, and it cracked with the force of Shi Rencheng's two fingers, and Tang Zhengtang spurted out a mouthful of blood again, and the blood fell on his red clothes, which looked even more vivid.
"Why bother?"
Tang Zhengtang didn't reply, and he didn't even have the strength to reply at this time.
He could feel that the other party was definitely above the Great Grandmaster of the Middle Realm!
However, even if he is a great master of the Middle Realm, he Tang Zhengtang still wants to bring Xu Changan back to Chang'an and drink his Tang someone's happy wine!
Tang Zhengtang squinted his eyes, unable to speak, and a smirk appeared on his bloodstained face.
Shi Rencheng shook his head, and at this time, Xu Changan happened to help Xiaoyuan and walked out.
Xiao Yuan has woken up, but his body is still a little weak. Xu Changan glanced at Aunt Long, this woman's eyes dodged, lowered her head, and immediately took two steps back.
Xu Changan didn't have time to worry about her, he looked at Tang Zhengtang, and then glanced at the old man.
He naturally heard what he said just now.
"Let him go, I'll accompany him
Otherwise, I will make a big fuss in the academy, and I am afraid that the academy will be broken down by some uncle or uncle. ”
Shi Rencheng wanted to disdain, but when he thought of Feng Wushan's situation, he took a deep look at Xu Changan.
If the mysterious person who fought against his master in Fengwu Mountain appeared, it would be difficult to say, this academy would really be destroyed.
He thought about it, and finally glanced at Tang Zhengtang and nodded heavily.
"Xu Changan!" Tang Zhengtang finally gritted his teeth and shouted these three words.
Xu Changan hugged Tang Zhengtang and smiled, with a little guilt and sadness on his face.
"You, don't be friends with me in the future. I've met twice, and both times I almost killed you. By the way, you must be festive when you get married, go to Huanxi Building, you go directly to Chen Tianhua or Xue Pan, and they will be Zhang Luo. If you don't dislike it, I'll call you an old brother. On my brother's wedding day, I will definitely go to Chang'an to have a party!"
Xu Changan reluctantly squeezed out a smile towards Tang Zhengtang.
He also knew in his heart that going to the academy was actually no different from falling into the hands of his master. Moreover, as long as it is not life-threatening, Uncle Jian Jiu probably won't make a move. I don't know how to get out.
"Go back, tell the master, Xu Chang'an, I will take it back to the academy!" Although Shi Rencheng didn't like Cheng Baiyi, since he had promised someone else's things, he had to do it, and let Cheng Baiyi bring a word.
And that group of bad people, looked at Cheng Baiyi, and then looked at Tang Zhengtang, with confusion in their eyes.
"What are you looking at? Put away Lord Zhao's body and report back to Chang'an!"
Tang Zhengtang gritted his teeth and said, and everyone picked up Zhao Fa's body and left.
Shi Rencheng glanced at him, and everyone surrounded Xu Changan and Xiaoyuan and walked out of the door.
......
It was dusk, and the wind was blowing the willow branches.
A group of people walked in front, and one person followed behind.
Shi Ren Cheng couldn't help it, turned around and said, "What are you doing here, go back and heal!"
In fact, he also took a fancy to Tang Zhengtang's strength, but Xu Changan's warning was still in his ears, and he also knew some of Xu Changan's background, so he was a little helpless.
The sound of the jade flute sounded, and there was one more person in front of them.
The little master in the green shirt, with a warm smile on his face, stood in the evening breeze.
"Little Master!"
The little master smiled indifferently and nodded towards Xu Changan, and then said to Shi Rencheng: "Since this is the case, then I will also go to the academy to take a look." ”
Shi Rencheng's face became bitter, although the little master did not enter the Open Heaven Realm, it was not far behind, not to mention that there was a senior brother who did not follow the etiquette law and suddenly became a mess.
"Aren't you welcome?"
Where did Shi Rencheng dare to say a "no", and immediately kept nodding.
After taking two steps, the little master suddenly stopped, pointed to Tang Zhengtang, who was far behind, and asked, "Did you hit it?"
Shi Rencheng nodded.
"Let's go to the academy to heal together, either you carry him on your back, or you are the same as him. ”
Shi Rencheng was still thinking about what this sentence meant, and after a little hesitation, the voice of the little master came to his ears.
"Then I'll choose for you. As he spoke, he took out the ring ruler from his cuffs and hit Shi Rencheng's face at once, Shi Rencheng flew out, and his carefully cared hair and beard were scattered.
......
About a quarter of an hour later.
The little master dusted off his body and put away the ring ruler.
Shi Rencheng on the ground was covered with blood, which was not much better than Tang Zhengtang.
The disciples who followed this Shi Ren Cheng looked at each other, and the little master rolled up his sleeves and spoke lightly.
"Make two stretchers and go back to Tianlu Academy together!"
