Volume 1 Broken Bamboo Chapter 53 The East and the South have their own stories

In fact, from the moment Zhang Muliu encircled Zhu Keyong with a thunder cage, Bai Qilin went to the worship hall. The Nine Yuan Dao people will naturally come as soon as possible, and the people are not objects, and then they are cultivators, there must be a hot place on the body, right? But when he saw that the white deer that was no longer only the size of a puppy was stopped in front of the worship hall, the Nine Yuan Dao people couldn't get out.

The rest of the Taoists were even more helpless, and they didn't know what means this white deer used, even the Taoists in the distracted realm wanted to leave the worship hall, they would be like ghosts hitting the wall, obviously walking out in one step, and only when their heels hit the ground did they find that they were back in place.

Therefore, even if someone wants to ventilate and report the news, it is difficult to take half a step forward.

The Nine Yuan Daoist is the pinnacle of the Dao, if he no longer condenses the rest of the true meaning, and only condenses the true intention of the Dao Gate into the Dao rules, then what he is short of is the time that is far from the realm of refining the void.

But the world is so big, no one has ever dared to say that they have a high realm, so they must win a low realm.

What's more, the white deer's aura is very strange, and under the true intention of the Daomen, he is not afraid at all, and even the Nine Yuan Dao people can't see what its true body is.

The white unicorn and Jiuyuan have never started fighting, they are just staring at each other with big eyes.

In fact, this white unicorn is not much better tempered than Liqiushui, and when she confronted her in the sky above Nading Mountain, she was actually very anxious, and slandered over and over again, "This big offering is too timid, right, and you won't make a move if you are bullied at the door?"

Helplessly, if you can't take the lead by yourself, won't that become a provocation? If you don't take care of it, you won't be happy.

At this point, Bai Qilin and Zhang Muliu are still quite similar, and they need a reason for everything.

It wasn't until Zhang Muliu shouted to Bai Qilin, and the latter let go of the prohibition that shrouded the place, that the Nine Yuan Dao escaped and came here.

Although he couldn't go past the broken temple before, the white unicorn was also very intimate, and with a wave of his hand, a light curtain hovered above the heads of the Taoists. In addition to Zhang Muliu and Zhu Keyong's heartfelt voices, the others listened to and saw it really.

The Nine Yuan Dao man had never furrowed his brows from beginning to end.

So when he rescued Zhu Keyong, he just sighed, but he couldn't talk about how much he complained about Zhang Muliu.

Mr. Chen is right, why not save the prince?

The old man with a crutch in his hand and snow-white hair is Liu Zhiyun and Zhu Kewu's mentor, Chen Ji.

This old man ran around before he was forty years old, just to ask for an official position, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him in the government and the opposition. After the age of forty, he was replaced by the king of a country who personally begged him to be an official, but Chen Ji somehow did not want to enter the court as an official.

It is still the third year that the current Emperor Yu sat on the dragon chair, and found Chen Ji who was playing in the mountains and rivers, and I don't know what the two sides talked about. After that, there was an extra grass house on the edge of the imperial city, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, this old gentleman would sit in the grass house and teach for two hours every day, regardless of whether there were students listening, only turning books to teach, and the thunder could not move.

The old gentleman looked like an ordinary old man, but since he walked to the side of the ruined temple, the place has become quiet.

Zhu Kewu had already walked and stood quietly behind Chen Ji, Zhang Muliu also fell into shape, looked at Li Yan who was ashamed in the temple, shook his head and smiled. On the contrary, it was the shopkeeper Luo, Zhang Muliu always felt that he was not an ordinary person, but he couldn't see anything wrong. When Bai Qilin returned, Zhang Muliu asked her if she could see anything unusual about the shopkeeper, but Bai Qilin looked at it carefully for a long time, and only gave a normal person's answer.

Who will be the one who will isolate the place where the fight is just going on? If you have this means, you must at least start in the right way.

After listening to the white-haired old man's words, the Jiuyuan Daoist smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Chen really protects his shortcomings, that kid is clumsy, but he is too ruthless. ”

From the very beginning, Zhang Muliu calculated it. People like Zhu Keyong will always be accommodating, and they are very talented, so the Jiuyuan Dao people naturally attach great importance to them.

What if he realized it later, and this was always what he thought he had always done?

Those who have no conscience will doubt others, but whoever has that lost conscience in their chest will only doubt themselves.

And once you don't even believe in yourself, it's a game you must lose.

The last straw that overwhelmed Zhu Keyong was a quarter of an hour given by Zhang Muliu.

And the later Zhu Kewu died for his brother, which was the real finishing touch.

Just imagine, a younger brother who grew up with his own cynicism and never gave a good face blocked a killing move for himself and died for himself. Will Zhu Keyong feel more guilty?

But anyone who has a little conscience will feel guilty.

When you are rich, you often don't have a good face for someone who is not as good as you, but when you are down, that person sacrifices his life to save himself. If this is the case, everyone will feel guilty.

Later, when Zhu Keyong fought with Zhang Muliu with Fang Tian's halberd, he was actually bent on death, and he had no shame to live in the world.

Zhang Muliu said with a smile: "I didn't think about saving him, I just wanted to make him uncomfortable, if the seniors of Jiuyuan had to thank him, the juniors would naturally not shirk." ”

Chen Ji glanced over and said lightly: "Who taught it?" ”

Dressed in black, he couldn't stop smiling, and then waved at Chen Ji, and then said slowly: "The younger generation is not a Confucian monk, let alone a scholar. Moreover, the gentleman who taught me will not be worse than Mr. Chen. ”

The white-haired old man smiled slightly, turned his head and said to the Nine Yuan Daoist, "In terms of age, you are much older than me. Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's actions today are right or wrong?"

Jiuyuan Daoist smiled bitterly, originally just let Zhu Keyong come to test it, but who knew that this kid was fighting but had murderous intentions.

"If you don't read much, you can't tell whether it's right or wrong. Mr. Chen is a pedantic man, why don't you answer for us?"

Zhang Muliu smiled and retreated to the ruined temple in the distance, sat on the sparse threshold and began to drink.

Some play, as soon as these two people come up, they will have a mouthful of each other, if they don't quit, will it be difficult to wait to be drowned by the two of them?

Take pity on the third prince, it is estimated that he will be reduced to a platform for the two to fight.

Zhu Kewu looked at Zhang Muliu as if asking for help, and saw that Zhang Muliu didn't care, so he could only say: "Mr. Zhang, you're a little unkind, aren't you?"

Zhang Muliu took a sip of wine and replied, "This has nothing to do with me! A husband of yours and a master of your brother have nothing to do with me. ”

After that, he didn't pay attention to that side anymore, and let a Confucian scholar and a Taoist person talk to each other over there.

The young man in black just sat on the threshold and drank, in fact, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Yan's mind of changing around.

On the road of life, isn't the perspective of treating the world just to see the mountains as mountains, and then learn to think deeply, and finally return to the appearance of seeing mountains as mountains?

Believe it or not is secondary, the most important thing is that Li Yan never felt that if he wanted to learn from Zhang Muliu, he had to stand on Zhang Muliu's side regardless of right and wrong.

This is actually very good, and it is not based on proximity to judge right and wrong. Zhang Muliu wanted to know, if Yue Hui did something wrong one day, how would Li Yan deal with himself? If Li Yan at that time was the same as Li Yan's choice today, Zhang Muliu would be very disappointed.

On the other hand, Liu Gong's kid has been brainless from beginning to end, and he is very different from Li Yan. This young man who had already gone to the temple to barbecue with Li Yan at this moment, it is estimated that even he himself could not figure out his temper.

How many people in the world can understand their temper?

Since Liu Gong entered the temple and broke the temple, Li Yan has been guarding against Liu Gong like a thief. Liu Gong is older, and he has been crawling in Zhidong City since he was a child, so he naturally knows the mind of that swarthy young man.

So he deliberately roasted a piece of meat, divided it into two, handed half to Yue Hui, and said with a smile: "Sister Yue, if you want to talk about swordsmanship, I may not be good, but when it comes to barbecue, if I think I am the second in the world, at least three or four people agree." ”

The girl Yue Hui was amused by this guy's words, and Li Yan pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile.

It is estimated that Li Yan has scolded Liu Gong in his heart at this time, but he is embarrassed to say a sentence held in his throat.

The girl's thoughts and feelings are very delicate, Yue Hui naturally knows that her brother Li Yan is extremely delicious at the moment, but she also wants to tease this stuffy brother.

Zhang Muliu, who was at the door, had been paying attention to the middle-aged man surnamed Luo. I always feel that something is wrong with this guy, but I can't tell where it is.

Zhang Muliu was also listening distractedly to the words and heartfelt voices on the other side of the fire. The words in the hearts of the three of them also made him smile bitterly Especially Liu Gong's kid, who is bad.

"You kid get over here, what kind of mess are you making? Do you believe that if Li Yan is successful in cultivation, the first person to fight will be you?" Zhang Muliu reluctantly transmitted.

Liu Gong sneered, threw the wooden box behind Fang Cai in front of him, ran to the door, held the long wooden box with both hands, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life! ”

Zhang Muliu smiled brightly and said to Liu Gong: "Are you really not afraid that I will twist off your dog's head?"

The young man sat on the ground with a bitter face, touched his neck, and asked weakly, "Can you slow down first?"

Zhang Muliu, who was dressed in black, resisted the urge to slap this guy into Yudu City, smiled evilly, took the wooden box and slowly opened it, and a long sword with the same style as Zhang Muliu's wooden sword lay quietly in the box. The root of the sword body is engraved with two ancient characters - bamboo foot.

When the sword box was opened, there was no majestic momentum, but the Nine Yuan Dao people and Chen Ji, who were sneering at each other over there, looked at this side in unison.

Zhang Muliu didn't pay attention to the two, but smiled at Liu Gong and said, "Have you ever thought about running away with this sword?"

Liu Gong smiled, scratched his head and said, "I think I've thought about it, I'll tell you the truth, I've even thought carefully about where to run." But I don't know why, I didn't run in the end. ”

Jiuyuan Daoren and Chen Ji had already come, and Zhang Muliu asked Liu Gong to continue to carry the wooden box on his back, while he drank wine by himself, ignoring the two.

Chen Ji leaned on crutches and asked, "Why does this sword contain a bit of Confucianism, and it has something to do with the gentleman who taught you?"

The Nine Yuan Daoist frowned and said, "It turns out that you are really the sword cultivator surnamed Zhang who was treated as a guest by the Back Mountain?"

Zhu Kewu didn't follow at all at this time, he looked at Zhang Muliu from a distance, a little gloating.

It's just that the young man in black didn't answer the two, but said with a smile: "The two of them are walking in front together, and Zhang takes it for granted that the two seniors are right." The Jiuyuan seniors helped gather Lu Hu's soul, so I won't worry about you, but this is the second time, and it's only three. Since the old gentleman is highly educated, the kid has the courage to ask. ”

The Nine Yuan Daoist squinted and smiled, "Isn't it possible that you have to kill your soul before you give up?"

Chen Ji said with a smile: "Please speak." ”

Zhang Muliu shook his head and didn't want to ask. Turning to look at the Nine Yuan Daoist, he also squinted his eyes, and met the eyes of this peak cultivator of the Convergence Dao.

I saw a middle-aged man in a robe and said with a smile: "I didn't think too much about it, why did I guess it's me?"

The young man in black just said lightly: "Is that you?"

The two laughed at the same time, and the Nine Yuan Dao people disappeared in a flash, and together with the crown prince Zhu Keyong, they were already nowhere to be found.

The white unicorn flashed over, and the voice asked: "I can't catch up, this person has no fighting skills, and his escape skills are first-class." Zhu Kewu was thrown into the imperial city, and I ignored it. ”

Zhang Muliu smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the shopkeeper Luo of the bun shop, and the latter smiled.

Chen Ji suddenly burst out laughing, turned his head and said to Zhu Kewu:

"See, learn a little. ”

Zhu Kewu was confused.

At dusk in Jisha Town, the gold and silver treasures demolished from the old house are nowhere to be found. Li Wucai and Yu not only have never seen each other, but Bai Qilin has never seen it, before the pair of fat and thin servants beheaded the county order surnamed Hu, those treasures had disappeared.

The picture of the person who grabbed the treasure was naturally not the gold and silver treasure, but the gourd that fell into Zhang Muliu's hands.

There is no follow-up to the affairs of Cao County, and the most important thing is where the money went.

Zhang Muliu arrived in Yudu for a month, and he also inquired about a lot of things on those small hills along the way. Among them, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yu Guo is a martial artist, and he can be a top-notch young monk who is famous in half a continent at a young age.

The most important thing is that some people say that the Nine Yuan Daoist of the Worship Hall is a pure fire of the Five Thunder Righteous Method, and if he can condense the true meaning of the thunder attribute of his own Dao Gate into substance, he can enter the refining void in one step.

That gourd is definitely inextricably linked to the earliest thunder god between heaven and earth, and Lei Ze was the first place where the ancient god lived.

Therefore, when the thunder law cage was detained with a big edict, Zhang Muliu suspected the Jiuyuan Daoist. But when Zhu Keyong was in trouble, this guy rushed here without thinking about it. This move made Zhang Muliu a little suspicious, did he guess wrong?

It wasn't until Zhang Muliu opened the sword box that the ordinary-looking bamboo foot was seen by Jiuyuan Zhenren that he really showed his fox tail.

With the white unicorn here, it's easy to know who's thinking what's going on in their hearts.

Chen Ji is amazed, and Jiuyuan is greedy.

At this moment, the old gentleman with white hair slowly spoke: "Monks are also cultivated by people, who doesn't have a little compassion?"

Zhang Muliu smiled and nodded, no matter how greedy this nine-yuan real person was, just because he was still thinking about his apprentice when he ran away, it was worth sparing his life the next time he met.

The black-clothed young man suddenly looked at Chen Ji and said with a smile, "When Mr. Chen received Liu Zhiyun's letter asking for help, he was suspicious of Jiuyuan's senior, right?"

The old gentleman replied, "Are you still willing to call him a senior?"

Zhang Muliu said with a smile: "Why not? The matter of Cao County has finally come to an end now, and most of them are to blame, and the predecessors of Jiuyuan are just seeking treasure, and they have not been killed." ”

After a pause, Zhang Muliu continued: "It's just that the behavior is not very authentic, I won't stay here for a long time, just ask him to do his big offering when the time comes." There is only one sentence that bothers Mr. Chen and Jiuyuan seniors to bring. ”

Chen Ji kept smiling, only to hear the black-clothed young man say: "It's naturally right to ask for a chance, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves." But it's better to do the same every time as this time, and just use some stratagem. ”

The white unicorn suddenly transmitted, "Then what is he running?"

Zhang Muliu just smiled slightly.

Why do you run? Naturally, the heart is weak. After arriving at the noodle boiling pool, it depends on how this Jiuyuan Daoist chooses.

Chu Xiaodan finally said, this way to the noodle pond must be troublesome, if there is no white unicorn here, will this great worshipper still talk as well as now?

......

A red dress landed from the original Luoyue ferry, which is now the southernmost part of the country of Annan. Holding ten lang water, holding a little girl in a green skirt in her arms, she cut all the way from the beach to Baiyue. From the beginning to the end, not a single high-level monk came out to stop him, so he didn't kill anyone from Qiushui. It's just that the Annan Imperial Palace and some lifeblood official roads that have just been built are miserable.

The Annan Imperial Palace was slashed twice by the woman in red, and it was almost ruined. The palace has been transformed into an underground palace, but anyone who is a little big will not be able to enter the palace again. It's like Zhang Zao, and it may be okay to be a cat.

The last sword from Qiushui slashed at the bay at an angle to Danzhou, and forcibly cut out a huge canyon hundreds of miles wide and hundreds of miles long for her, and the cold snap continued every day. If the people of Annam want to invade Baiyue again, there are only two ways to go.

Either go to the northwest, cross the vast snow-capped mountains, and come in from Shu. Either that or cross the sea to go to the country of Vietnam.

Zhang was frightened early, what the little girl thought in her heart was that she couldn't mess with anyone in the future, what if she was frozen into an iceman?

After that, all the way to the sword, in an instant, he arrived at the Baiyue Alliance. Li Qiushui hugged Zhang and walked slowly to a house early, and there was a large group of people standing at the door of the house, and at the front was an old man with gray hair.

The two looked at each other from a distance, but they didn't seem to have anything to say.

After being speechless for a long time, Liqiushui put down the little girl in his arms, rubbed her little head, pointed to the old man and said softly:

"Not called grandpa yet?"

Zhang Zao's eyes flickered a few times, and he ran towards the white-haired old man slowly, and when he got closer, he suddenly stopped his figure, put his hands behind his back, and said crisply: "Are you my grandfather?"

The old man was a little puzzled at first, but after hearing the little girl's grandfather, he unconsciously smiled all over his face.

He bent down and picked up Zhang Zaozao, pointed at Li Qiushui and laughed: "Yes, if she is your mother, then I will be your grandfather." ”

A young woman in the back looked at Li Qiushui with a bitter face, and said with some grievances: "Why do you have a child?

He rolled his eyes from Qiushui, and then whispered to the white-haired old man:

"Ah, Dad. ”

The old man teased the little girl and said with a smile:

"Here we are. Can...... The children are so old, why didn't they bring them back before?"

The young woman asked the old man what he wanted to ask the most: "Who is the child's father, and why didn't he come with him?"

Zhang Zao was a little afraid of the young woman before, looked at his mother, buried his head in the old man's arms, and said weakly: "My father has something important to do, he promised me that he would come to pick me up before the New Year, and he would take me and my mother to his hometown when the time comes." ”

The old man rubbed the little girl's head and asked towards Liqiushui:

"How's the people?"

The woman in red smiled brightly and said loudly:

"Daddy, don't worry, the person is very good. ”

That night, Li Qiushui walked in front of him dressed in red, followed by an old man with gray hair.

Leaving Qiushui to walk to a grave bag, he grabbed a handful of soil on the ground and gently patted it on the grave bag, and said with a smile: "Mother, Qiushui is back." And your granddaughter!"

Saying that, she called Zhang over early, and the little girl was very sensible, knelt down and knocked her head three times.

This scene made the father and daughter laugh a little far away.

I saw the little girl with her hands behind her back, bent down slightly, and said in an extremely low voice: "Grandma, my mother said that I can't see you, but you can see me." So you have to take a good look at me, just because you saw my grandmother early. ”

......

One day at the end of June, the lakeside house in Hongdu City became lively. The eldest lady of the Hu family finally appeared and pulled Hu Sasa to come here. So this small house, there are several big and small girls.

Hu Xiaoxiao, who married Dan after breaking the Dan, the ghost girl who has built the peak of the foundation, and He Qingying, who has been learning swords, but has not practiced qi, naturally also changed Mo Miaomiao who skipped class one day.

After Hu Xiaoxiao broke the pill, not only did he not cause any damage to the foundation of the Great Dao, but he had some unexpected opportunities.

Hu sprinkled is the yin physique, practicing the water method is twice the result with half the effort, it has only been half a year, and she has reached the peak of foundation building.

He Qingying, who originally lived in this house, was more eccentric, practicing swords every day, but she never drew qi into her body. Even so, Hu Xiaoxiao also felt that if he pressed the realm to build a foundation against him, it would be difficult to say whether he would win or lose.

The most difficult thing is Mo Miaomiao, who often walks around the lake alone.

I have to read and read every day, and I still read when my head is big. Mo Miaomiao often took the beautiful puppy with horns, sat by the lake with her chin in her hands, and said to herself bitterly:

"Brother, why haven't you come back? I really don't like to read, I write down all the books one at a time, and I feel so annoyed when I turn them over again!"

Hu Xiaoxiao helped He Zitang work in the kitchen, and the remaining four little girls gathered in front of the stone table and whispered.

"Xiaoxiao, there are many things we can't do, at best, we can only say one word and do our best, don't embarrass ourselves too much. He Zitang rubbed his face and said to Hu Xiaoxiao.

This beautiful girl, who is most sought after by the talented people here, replied with a smile: "Aunt He, don't worry, Brother Zhang has reasoned with me." ”

He Zitang suddenly walked out of the kitchen, looked up to the southwest, and said with a smile: "Yo! There are so many guests today." ”

A long blue line started from Baiyue and was stopped by a Taoist when it reached the border of Liang State. And when the protector He Zhenren saw that it was the woman in red, he turned his head and ran away.

The heart said that I knew that the woman who demolished Annan was her, and I wouldn't come if I was killed!

So under the countless pairs of eyes in the south of this Shengshen Continent, a beautiful female sword immortal Yujian went to Hongdu, and finally landed in a small lakeside mansion.

Since leaving Qiushui and entering the house, no matter how high the realm of the peeping person is, he will not be able to see the inside of the house.

Naturally, some of the iron-headed monks did not believe in evil and came closer to see. Then a woman in black whispered, "I'll count to three, and if I dare to look here, I'll go and bathe in the sea." ”

As a result, after a "one", a monk who was asking for trouble would be slapped in the face and taken to the south sea.

I want to cover my face and stand up to this mother-in-law, how can I live?

So she could only use a killer move, put down Zhang in her arms early, pointed at He Zitang and said:

"Early, this is your grandmother, amazing, right?"

Zhang Zaozao said that grandma and mother-in-law are too similar.

This place is a woman's house, and it becomes audible after a word from Qiushui.

He Zitang walked over and picked up Zhang Zaozao, put his forehead against the little girl's forehead, rubbed it twice, and said:

"Scream again. ”

Zhang called grandma a few times early in the morning, which made He Zitang very happy.

The woman in black, who looked very young but had already become a grandmother, pointed to a girl in the yard who was bigger than a mouth, and said with a smile: "It's all your aunt." ”

Hu Xiaoxiao stood at the door of the kitchen, smiling very happily. In terms of the happiest, of course, the two "aunts" are Mo Miaomiao and He Qingying.

And Hu Sasa, who was still wearing a pink dress, muttered with a bitter face:

"Now if I want him to be my brother-in-law, there is really no hope. ”

Hu Sasa walked over and teased Zhang Zaozao, and sighed:

"How long has it been? The children are so old? You grew up early when you saw the wind, right?"

Zhang hadn't remembered the names of so many aunts earlier, and when she saw Hu Sa asking her, the youngest girl here scratched her head and said with a smile: "I don't know either! ”

Liqiushui and He Zitang have black faces, how can this guy teach children like this?

......

The small city hundreds of miles southeast of Luoyang City is still bustling, and Han Cheng has been practicing swords for a year.

Mr. Zhang taught three tricks to practice swordsmanship, which is not a sword move at all, and Han Cheng can only do what he says. In addition to helping in the pawnshop every day, it is to hold a sword, block a sword, and make a sword.

After practicing for more than half a year, the little guy wanted to give up. Thinking of the picture of the white-clothed imperial sword going away, the little boy was a little aggrieved.

Han Cheng once complained to Bai Xi one night: "Shopkeeper Bai, did you say that Mr. Zhang never thought that I could not become a great sword immortal, so he lost three tricks to comfort me?"

The pawnshop keeper, who was really a white-headed magpie, smiled and said, "Do you remember what you promised him?"

The slightly taller little boy scratched his head and sneered: "I mean that the next time we meet, I will definitely become his apprentice, but I don't know if I'm too stupid or what, after practicing the sword for so long, I still haven't grown a little." ”

Bai Xi shook his head and said, "Xiao Han Cheng'er, we have to have a little confidence in ourselves, you know?"

Han Cheng nodded, stood up and shouted loudly:

"My name is Han Cheng, and I will become a Great Sword Immortal!"
