The night was as cool as water, and the moonlight was quietly sprinkled on all things that were quiet, and it was also sprinkled on Chu Zhongli's body.

Now it was originally a time for the nobles of the Chu State to feast together and share the heavenly and earthly treasures sent by Wudang Mountain. Chu Zhongli stayed outside alone, he thought of what happened today, and remembered his experience in the past eighteen years, his heart was really mixed, and he only sighed inadvertently. Finally, I thought of the words that Xuan Yin said to each other when she left, and a smile appeared on her face.

He broke a branch and wrote some words on the ground.

It's poetry.

He didn't lie to Xuanyin, although he couldn't do martial arts because of his talent, he trained many other abilities very well, including the ability to write. But in this world of great controversy where martial arts are respected, no one will pay attention to these. As a result, he seldom reveals himself to others, often writing himself on the sand and then erasing it with his feet.

Because he can't practice martial arts, he can only read books when others are practicing, and now his eyes are not very good, and after writing these words in the moonlight, he feels that his eyes are very sour, and he thinks about those words while rubbing his eyes. But I felt a tap on the shoulder, and when I turned my head, it was my sister's smiling face.

"Brother. Chu Qianqian smiled at him and said, "What are you doing here alone?"

"Didn't do anything. Chu Zhongli said.

"Are you writing poetry again? I'll take a look. Chu Qianqian stepped forward to look at the words he wrote on the ground, Chu Zhongli and his sister have always been very good, and they don't stop her. Chu Qianqian read while reading:

"Meet happiness, meet bitterness, meet Beiguo and Nanpu. A glimpse of each other drifts away, like a bright moon meeting flowing clouds, unable to communicate and running away......;

It's okay to see it, but when this one came out, Chu Zhongli was embarrassed, and before she finished reading, she wiped the poem with her foot, and said with a forced smile: "Scribble, scribble, there's nothing worth seeing." ”

"That's good......" Chu Qianqian muttered to herself. Then there was a long silence between the two of them, and an embarrassment spread from the siblings.

"Brother......

"Huh?"

"You...... Do you blame me?"

After Chu Zhongli heard this, he looked at his sister and said, "Blame you, why do you say that?"

Chu Qianqian bit her lip and said, "Originally...... The Wudang Sect is going to take you. As a result, I went, and you were laughed at by everyone, and I was happy for myself at the time, but then I thought about it, I really didn't care about your feelings, and you must have felt ......very uncomfortable in your heart."

Chu Zhongli was also greatly moved after hearing this, gently hugged his sister's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, my brother won't blame you." I can't practice martial arts, this is my life, how can I be angry with others. When you arrive in Wudang Mountain, your achievements will be higher in the future, and my brother should be happy for you. ”

Chu Qianqian smiled after hearing this, and said, "Well, I know that the third brother is the best!"

While the two were talking, they heard a spitting sound. As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was the pock-faced Zhaoqing again, he saw that Chu Zhongli was chatting so well with Xuanyin today, and he also wanted to go up and talk, but he was pushed away by Xuanyin, and he lost face, and he probably came to find fault. I only heard him say in a long obscene tone: "Yo, didn't you talk to Daoist Xuanyin so closely today? Why didn't you go at night when you were sharing the treasures of heaven and earth?

Chu Qianqian said angrily: "Are you happy to be beaten today?"

Zhaoqing said: "What can I do if I am beaten, that is, my master, I will be fine now." I said Chu Zhongli, tomorrow is the ceremony of the nobility's coming-of-age, our nobles of the same age of the Chu State, if you want to talk about your achievements over the years, you may also measure the progress of the exercises, you must go then, and let us be happy again. ”

Chu Qianqian was furious and was about to scold Zhaoqing, but Chu Zhongli stopped him and said, "This person is here to find fault, there is no need to ignore him, let's go." ”

Chu Qianqian nodded and said, "What my brother said is that our new shoes can't step on stinky." So Chu Zhongli pulled Chu Qianqian and walked in the opposite direction.

Chu Zhongli had just taken a few steps when he heard Zhaoqing pretend to be in a thin voice and say, "Oh, the son of the King of Chu is very talented, and you and I are not good enough, so we can't detect it." "It's obviously imitating what Xuanyin said when he took his pulse today.

I heard him say in a rough voice: "What a talent, our old man in Wudang Mountain who chops wood and burns fires has no talent so low!" After he finished learning, he was happy for a long time, and he was so happy that he leaned forward and back, and his numb face couldn't stop distorting.

Chu Zhongli's footsteps suddenly stopped, clenched his hands tightly, and said coldly: "Zhaoqing, you kid is really cheap." ”

Chu Qianqian also turned around suddenly, pointed at Zhaoqing and scolded: "I warn you, you'd better pay attention, even if my brother's talent is not high, he is also the son of the King of Chu." You dare to provoke him, don't punish your nine clans at that time, chop you up and feed you to the dogs?"

"The son of the King of Chu?" Zhaoqing grinned. "What's wrong with the son of the King of Chu? Which of the three major families of the Chu State, Zhao, Jing, and Qu, is weaker than your Chu royal family? It's just that the king is just letting you be the people of the Chu royal family, and our Zhao clan is the head of the three major families, if you really provoke us, who will punish whose nine clans is not certain!" He also said: "My father Ling Yin Zhaocheng is also a little lower than your father Chu Yuanjing's status, and when it comes to power, it is almost the same, it stands to reason that I and you Chu Zhongli should also be on the same level." Coupled with my ability, I will definitely be able to make a name for myself in the future, and you Chu Zhongli is just a rich man at most. When you see me in the future, you may have to shout 'Hello Qingye', hahahahaha. Later, because of the excitement, the spit kept bursting out of his mouth.

Chu Zhongli couldn't bear it anymore, and when he saw a stone on the ground next to him, he picked it up and threw it over. Zhaoqing is a cultivator, and when he saw this, he immediately summoned an air shield, and the stone bounced back on the qi shield, but instead smashed into Chu Zhongli's head, and red blood flowed down from the corner of his forehead.

"You dare to hurt my brother, I'll fight with you!" Chu Qianqian shouted and rushed towards Zhaoqing. Zhaoqing hurriedly ran away, and said as he ran: "Don't blame me, who let him hit me with a stone!" In fact, Zhaoqing was not afraid of the Chu royal family at all, and he only dared to limit his fault with Chu Zhongli to verbal, anyway, there was no evidence for this, so he said it. But if Chu Zhongli was really beaten to the point of bleeding, the nature was different, so in the face of Chu Qianqian who rushed over, he only ran away.

Chu Qianqian ran halfway, turned her head to look at her brother again, and saw Chu Zhongli covering his forehead, so he stopped chasing and ran to Chu Zhongli's approach. I saw blood flow out of Chu Zhongli's fingers, and flowed onto the strange stone on his cheek, on his neck, and on his necklace......

Chu Qianqian was distressed and hateful, and said, "Brother, I will go to my father, and I must seek justice for you!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to go, but was stopped by Chu Zhongli.

"Don't. Chu Zhongli gasped and said, "If this matter is too big, it won't end well." It may even lead to a conflict between the Chu royal family and the Zhao clan, and I can't let the country be in turmoil because of myself. In the future, I will find an opportunity, and I will take revenge myself. ”

Chu Qianqian nodded and said, "That's ...... Then I'll get you a doctor, you can't bleed like this. ”

Chu Zhongli said: "No need, now everyone is partying, if you go to the doctor, it will definitely alarm everyone, the result is still the same, I just think of a way to stop the bleeding." As he spoke, he took a few steps, squatted down, and grabbed a handful of soil on the ground where he had just written, and pressed his wound. After a while, most of the soil was removed, and although there was still blood on the head, the blood was gone. got up and said to Chu Qianqian with a smile: "Sister, look, isn't this good?"

Chu Qianqian looked at the scene where he squatted down and took soil to stop the bleeding from his wound, and couldn't help but feel that his nose was sour, and a few tears flowed down his face. stepped forward and hugged Chu Zhongli, crying and said: "Brother, you are always like this, focusing on the overall situation, and swallowing how many grievances you have suffered in your stomach." Why is it so unfair to such a good person? If you don't have any cultivation ability at all, you have to be so embarrassed in front of the people you like......

Chu Zhong's departing sister hugged herself and gently patted her back with her hand. Chu Qianqian cried even harder, Chu Zhongli also bit his lip, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.

After Chu Qianqian finished crying, Chu Zhongli said to Chu Qianqian: "It's okay, sister, I won't go to tomorrow's coming-of-age ceremony." ”

Chu Qianqian said: "It's okay not to go, although there will be a knighthood ceremony tomorrow, but your title and fief are absolutely indispensable, just don't be crowned at the meeting." ”

Chu Zhongli said: "Well, then I'll go to the Donghuang Taiyi Temple tomorrow to have a look." In the entire Chu country, there may be no one there. You should also pack up and get ready to go to Wudang Mountain. When the time comes, listen to the words of Xuanyin Daochang, but don't cry because you are homesick. ”

Chu Qianqian stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "I won't cry my nose because I'm homesick." But someone might cry because they think about my master's Xuanyin...... Hey, hey, hey......"

"You girl......"

The two made a mess, and the bright moon still lit up the entire sky, sprinkling the due light for the people on the ground.
