Under an ancient locust tree not far away, an old man of the same generation as the white-haired old man of the Bai family sat on a chair and watched this scene from afar.

"What a scene of ink blooming red lotus. ”

The old man's name is Zhu Chijing, and he is a member of the Zhu family.

The cross eight ditches on the Mo River belong to their family.

More than 20 years ago, Zhu Chijing also tied a strip of red cloth for the dragon-slaying sword like a white-haired old man, but he was only over eighty years old at that time, and his body was healthy, and he presided over the sword hanging ceremony. If it weren't for the fact that the ceremony didn't allow it, Zhu Chijing still wanted to take over the work of holding the sword and hanging the sword at that time. With his physical condition at the time, holding a sword was nothing at all.

The scene when Wu Ling reads "Hanging Sword Order" is indeed refreshing, and it has the style of an immortal.

But Zhu Chijing's heart was full of worries.

Because the Bai clan violated the ancestral teachings left by the ancestors.

Zhu Chijing struggled to get up from the chair with crutches, he planned to talk to Bai Baoxiang, otherwise something could really happen.

Wu Ling closed the red paper scroll, walked off the bridge and handed it back to the Bai family patriarch, and said, "Patriarch Bai, if you are busy, I will come back to ask about the dragon slaying sword later!"

"Thank you little brother for your understanding!"

The head of the Bai family arched his hand, and then signaled, and asked someone to take a bag of silver to Wu Ling, "Little brother, this is thirty taels, you take it first." As for the matter of the dragon sword......"

Before the patriarch of the Bai family could finish speaking, the white-haired Bai Baoxiang had already walked over and said, "Bai Xiao, in order, you can explain to this little brother first! After all, the little brother has helped our Bai family so much." ”

Seeing Bai Baoxiang say this, Bai Xiao, the head of the Bai family, had no choice but to nod and say, "What Uncle Baoxiang said is true!"

Bai Xiao replied, and then said to Wuling: "I don't know which dragon slaying sword the little brother wants to start with." ”

Wu Ling faced the newly hung dragon slashing sword across the nine ditches and said, "Let's start with this one under the bridge now!"

As for the silver given by the Bai family, Wu Ling was not polite and accepted it with peace of mind.

It is only natural to work and get money.

Wu Ling is not one of those pedantic old masters, he always feels that it is a shame for a scholar to make money by selling calligraphy and paintings, which is insulting to Sven.

Bai Xiao smiled and said: "This sword doesn't have much of a story, but it has existed for a long time, about eighty or ninety years. In the early years, I saw that the other ditches on the dragon ditch were replaced with dragon swords, in order to prevent accidents, so the ancestors of our Bai clan went to the Longquan Sword Shrine to find someone to cast one. It's just that the last dragon sword has been safe and undamaged, so it has been stored to this day. As for the last dragon slaying sword......"

Bai Xiao's narration attracted many people to stop and listen.

Especially the children who love to join in the fun, squeezing around, for fear of listening to a word.

Bai Xiao didn't intend to whet people's appetites, and continued: "I have been hanging for at least three or four hundred years in across Jiugou, because it is too long ago, and the origin can no longer be verified. Compared with this dragon slashing sword weighing eighty-one pounds, the upper one is much shabby, only two fingers wide, and the whole body has rusted, and it is often jokingly called the old sword. ”

"It's not like that, the sword isn't rusty, it's the same color. ”

A child squeezed into his little head from the crowd and refuted Bai Xiao's words.

The child is the child who just exchanged his seat with Wuling for a rock sugar gourd. Probably ate it too fast, and the child's mouth still had the juice of the sugar gourd.

He is Bai Xiao's youngest grandson.

Bai Xiao usually favors her little grandson in every way, but there are so many people at the moment, in order not to let people say that she has no way to educate, she said with a straight face: "Yushu must not be rude, go home quickly if you have nothing to do, don't make trouble here." ”

"Where am I being rude?"

Bai Yushu pouted, unconvinced, and said, "Obviously you didn't say it right! I'll just help you correct it!"

Bai Xiao raised his hand, made a gesture to beat someone, and said, "If you make trouble here again, grandpa is going to beat someone!"

"Patriarch Bai, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, it doesn't have to be like this. ”

Wu Ling stopped him, and at the same time came to Bai Yushu's side, squatted down to help the child wipe the sugar juice from his mouth, and said with a smile: "Since you think they are wrong, then you and your brother tell me what that sword really looks like." ”

Bai Yushu made a grimace at Bai Xiao, and then said to Wu Ling with a serious expression: "The color of that sword is the black appearance, not rusty. Their adults, usually walking, are in a hurry to see what the dragon slaying sword is like. Even if they had time, they wouldn't look at it. What they know is what they hear from others. ”

Bai Yushu said the back, with a lot of resentment in his tone.

His parents are businessmen, and they are basically outside all year round, and they rarely have the opportunity to go home, so he has been living with Bai Xiao. And Bai Xiao is the patriarch of the Bai family, and he is busy on weekdays, and he rarely has time to play with Bai Yushu.

Wu Ling rubbed Bai Yushu's head and said in a child's tone, "So, you are still very familiar with the Dragon Slaying Sword?"

"That's nature!"

Bai Yushu looked proud.

When he is usually fine, he likes to shoot a slingshot at the dragon sword. After some hard work, he shot ten times, and nine times he was able to hit the old sword.

After watching too much, I am naturally very familiar with the old sword strip.

Bai Yushu said proudly: "Not only do I know that the color of the old sword strip is black, but I also know that the old sword strip's body is full of pits, and there are marks of hammer beating everywhere. Moreover, the old sword strip is not a sword, the tip of its sword is straight, and the other is curved. It's like a knife with a straight knife and a scimitar-bladed knife together!"

Bai Baoxiang's face turned angry and shouted loudly, "Shut up!"

Bai Xiao reacted after realizing it, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Bai Yushu out of the crowd, and scolded: "Hurry up and apologize to your uncle." ”

Today is the day of hanging the dragon sword, and you can't say a knife, let alone say that the dragon sword is a knife.

This is a big taboo.

Bai Yushu tilted his head and said unconvinced: "What kind of apology, I didn't say anything wrong!"

Bai Baoxiang pointed at Bai Xiao and scolded: "I told you to educate this kid more often, you don't believe it, but now you see it, right? ”

Bai Xiao nodded again and again, "Yes! Uncle, you are right! I will educate him well in the future." ”

Anger surged into his heart, and then thinking of Bai Yushu's stubborn behavior in the past, Bai Xiao suddenly lost his mind, and he didn't care about talking to Wu Ling about the dragon sword, so he pulled Bai Yushu to find a stick that could beat people, and beat Bai Yushu first.

Bai Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "I told you, don't talk nonsense today, you just don't listen, see if I don't break your legs today!"

"Bai family master, no!"

Wu Ling chased after him and wanted to stop Bai Xiao.

Wu Ling never thought that Bai Yushu's few words would cause Bai Xiao and the others to be so angry.

Not only did Bai Yushu not understand, but Wu Ling also didn't understand what he said wrong.

Moreover, Wu Ling disagreed with Bai Xiao's education method very much.

Not to mention whether Bai Yushu is right or wrong, if he is really wrong, at least he must tell him where he is wrong first. What is the point of directly reprimanding without saying a word, or even preparing to whip him? After the beating, the child does not know what is wrong and how to change it?

Bai Xiao had already lost her mind, so she still listened to people's persuasion, and said directly: "Little brother, this is my family matter, please leave it alone!"

Wu Ling was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Chijing, who rushed over.

Zhu Chijing said: "Little brother, let me come!"

Wu Ling turned around and looked, and when he saw Zhu Chijing's skin and pale and sparse hair, he almost thought it was Bai Baoxiang. He subconsciously glanced at Bai Baoxiang and found that the temperament of the two was really similar, and the crutches in their hands were exactly the same.

It seems that after people get old to a certain extent, there is not much difference in their appearance.

Wu Ling nodded, and at the same time made way for the old man.

Zhu Chijing shouted loudly: "Bai Xiao, do you believe it or not, if you do it again, I will crush your head with a cane?"

After a reprimand, Zhu Chijing gasped.

This kind of fierce scolding is already a burden for him in his more than 100 years.

Worldly seniority, in a family, and even in the surrounding area, is the best symbol of status. Zhu Chijing's words really made Bai Xiao stop. After seeing Zhu Chijing, Bai Xiao was angry, and Bai Xiao still lowered his head and shouted uncle.

"Come to Tai Bogong, whoever moves you today, Tai Bo Gong will knock him to death with a cane. ！”

Zhu Chijing pulled the white jade book that gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

Seeing someone protecting him, he felt deeply aggrieved and hugged Zhu Chijing in the stubborn Bai Yushu, and tears flowed out at once.

Zhu Chijing pointed at Bai Xiao and scolded: "You kid, as the patriarch of a family, why don't you have any opinions at all?

Bai Xiao said: "Uncle, this guy just talked about the knife, and you also know that when you hang the dragon sword, it is taboo to say that things related to the knife are taboo. ”

"Fart!"

Zhu Chijing shouted, "What dog day said that when you hang the dragon sword, you can't say anything related to the knife? There is a sword in the world that can kill the dragon, but there is no knife that can kill the dragon?"

Zhu Chijing turned around with difficulty, and pointed at Bai Baoxiang with a cane, "Bai Baoxiang, did you say that?"

Bai Bao said solemnly: "Hanging the dragon sword can't say something related to the knife, this is the ancestral training left by the old ancestor, if you Zhu Chijing have any doubts, go to the old ancestor to go!"

Zhu Chijing said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, which old ancestor left this ancestral teaching, you should tell me! All day long, old ancestor, old ancestor, old ancestor is not wrong? I think you Bai Baoxiang is the person who disobeys the old ancestor and ancestor the most!"

Bai Bao seemed to have stepped on his tail, and said angrily: "Zhu Chijing, you slander me so much, believe it or not, I am fighting with you?"

Zhu Chijing laughed and said, "What, when it comes to your pain points?"

Bai Baoxiang walked a few steps and said, "Zhu Chijing, don't think that just because you are a few years older than me, you think that I can't beat you all the time!"

Zhu Chijing poured the crutches on his body, lifted his sleeves, and said without the slightest intention of being humble, "You Bai Baoxiang will come if you want to be pressed by me for the rest of your life!"

When the people around saw this posture, no one dared to step forward to persuade them.

There is no way, the two of them are the biggest generation around, and even in the entire Fufeng Town. The Mohe River is a family, and the words of the two of them are in the surrounding area, and there is no difference between them and the words of the temple emperor.

Wu Ling didn't think about it so much, and hurriedly walked between the two, stopped and said: "Two old-timers, make money in harmony, please calm your anger!"

Speaking of which, it has something to do with him to some extent.

If he hadn't asked Bai Yushu, this wouldn't have happened.

Zhu Chijing said: "Little brother, you get out of the way, if you don't beat this guy once, he won't know how thick the sky is." ”

Bai Baoxiang was also unconvinced, "Come on, whoever is afraid of whom!"

Wu Ling raised his voice and said: "The two seniors are both at this age, isn't there one of the juniors who is sensible?"

As soon as Wu Ling's words came out, there was silence around.

It was the first time that everyone had seen someone scolding Bai Baoxiang.

They wouldn't dare.

Zhu Chijing was stunned, and then laughed, "Little brother taught me a lesson." I didn't expect that half of my Zhu Chijing had stepped into the loess, and no teenager could see it clearly. ”

Zhu Chijing bowed his hand and saluted Wuling.

Wu Ling hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, "Seniors can't be like this. ”

Seeing that the other party had no intention of making a move, Bai Baoxiang snorted coldly and shook his sleeves to stop.

Zhu Chijing said to Bai Baoxiang: "Bai Baoxiang, since the little brothers have said so, I will no longer be ashamed to have a senseless dispute with you." Since you said that Xiao Yushu said that the sword was a big taboo, then let me ask you, what did you commit by asking boys and girls to wear black and white clothes to recite the sword hanging order, as the ancestor said?"

Bai Baoxiang said calmly: "When did the ancestor say this?"

Zhu Chijing was so angry that he almost didn't lift his sleeves again, "You unfilial son who has forgotten your ancestors, aren't you afraid that you will see your ancestors after you die and be chased and cut by your ancestors with knives?"

Bai Baoxiang's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!"

"Even the old ancestor is compared to a ghost!"

Zhu Chijing raised his hand, regardless of the shaking of his body, pointed at Bai Baoxiang and said: "Don't forget, the crossing of the nine ditch was given to the Bai clan by the Zhu family! You Bai Baoxiang are so obsessed again, be careful that I take back the crossing of the nine ditch and make you a historical sinner of the Bai clan!"

Bai Baoxiang's face couldn't help but change, "You dare!"

"What, angry?"

Zhu Chijing was not angry, but said with a smile: "I naturally don't dare! I'm afraid that for you to be a rat, I will destroy the harmony of the Mohe families, and I will have no face to see my ancestors after death." ”

"Too lazy to argue with you!"

Probably thinking that there was nothing in his hand to balance Zhu Chijing, Bai Baoxiang dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

Zhu Chijing reminded: "Don't think that I don't know about your dealings with the Zhao family! I tell you, don't do anything sorry for the Mohe family, otherwise you'd better pray to die slower than me, otherwise even if you Bai Baoxiang dies, I will dig out the bones, and then tie them to the pillar at the entrance of the Tianxing Tower, bask for thousands of years, and let the sages and heroes see your stench." ”

After Bai Baoxiang left, Zhu Chijing's body softened and fell to the side.

Wu Ling's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward to support him, "Senior, are you okay?"

After breathing for a while, Zhu Chijing eased up.

He shook his hand and said with a smile: "It looks really old, I have to take it!"

Wu Ling smiled: "The momentum of the predecessor just now is not like that of the old!"

Zhu Chijing laughed a few times, "You junior, interesting, energetic, young people should be like this!"

Zhu Chijing patted Bai Yushu and said, "Xiao Yushu, when you grow up in the future, you will be like this!

Bai Yushu nodded, and then glanced at Bai Xiao secretly, but he didn't dare to respond.

Zhu Chijing said: "Xiao Yushu, you should go home with your grandfather first! I have something to say to this big brother!"

Although Bai Yushu was a little reluctant, he still obediently walked towards Bai Xiao.

Wu Ling opened his mouth, wanting to say something to Bai Xiao. Zhu Chijing saw his thoughts and said, "Don't worry, Bai Xiao is still good to Xiaoyushu." The reason why Xiao Yushu is strong is more because his parents are away all the year round and lack companionship. ”

Wu Ling nodded and said, "Senior, it's hot at noon, I'll help you find a shady place, and then let's talk!"

Zhu Chijing pointed to the old locust tree not far away, "Let's go over there!"

An old man and a young man walked with great dedication.

The young are full of vigor, like the rising sun.

The old man is getting weaker and gray-haired, but he has never lost his smile along the way. Facing the light, the morning sun and the setting sun, are all light.
