Seeing that Zhang Shaoyang's interest was not high, Yao Sanming smiled and said: "Some things are predestined, you can't force them, let's go, let's go to the Zhizhou Mansion." ”

Zhang Shaoyang didn't have much hope, but after a short period of loss, he regrouped his mood, shook the Honghu Sword and said: "Master is right, besides, I have already obtained the Honghu Sword, and I can be much more powerful than ordinary people by relying on it to feed back, people, you still can't be too greedy." ”

Yao Sanming couldn't help but look sideways and said with a smile: "You kid, you are very open-minded. ”

"Hehe, let's go, Master, let's go to the Zhizhou Mansion, because I picked up this life because of the Soul Bead, and I haven't thanked Liu Gongzi yet. ”

"Yes!"

The three of them got out of the inn and went straight to the Zhizhou Mansion, the Zhizhou Mansion is still handling the funeral, according to the custom, the old people who have passed away normally need to set up a mourning hall at home, and they can only be buried after the first seven days, but if they die unjustly, they only need to be parked at home for three days to be buried, counting the days, today should be the time for burial.

When I arrived at the Zhizhou Mansion, there were no longer heavy soldiers guarding the door as before, and now there was a bleak scene in front of the house, the door was closed, and there was no official guard at the door.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times, and it wasn't until a long time later that a middle-aged man opened the door and poked his head out to look at Zhang Shaoyang and the others.

The man was puzzled, these people in front of him were carrying luggage and baggage, they didn't look like locals, could it be that they were looking for Lord Zhizhou to do something?

Thinking of this, the man said a little impatiently: "What are you doing? There is no business in the house these days, so you should wait a few days and come back." ”

"Don't do business, we're here to find Liu Gongzi. Seeing that the man was about to close the door, Zhang Shaoyang hurriedly took the first step to block the door.

"Looking for Childe, Childe sent Lord Qincha out of the city, and he hasn't come back yet. ”

Zhang Shaoyang and the three of them looked at each other, didn't it mean that Lord Qincha went out of the city early in the morning, and now it's noon, is it possible for this Liu Gongzi to send people to Jiangnan?

Just when he was so puzzled, there was a sound of kicking and trampling horses' hooves behind him, and when he looked at the sound, he saw Liu Lang returning in a carriage.

"Childe is back. The middle-aged servant hurriedly greeted him, and when Liu Lang's carriage stopped, he helped Liu Lang down, pulled the reins, stabilized the horses, and didn't forget to point to the three people standing at the door, and said a word to Liu Lang.

"Childe, these guests said they were looking for you. ”

Liu Lang nodded at Zhang Shaoyang and the three of them, he swept over Yao Sanming and Xi Wan, and then his eyes stayed on Zhang Shaoyang, and he had roughly guessed the purpose of these three people in his heart, but what surprised him was that when Miss Xi Wan came to borrow the soul bead that day, she said that she would use the soul bead to save her life, and she heard that it meant to save the son in front of her, and now it seems that she has succeeded.

"Liu Gongzi, I came uninvited and bothered. Yao Sanming has a good impression of Liu Lang, just to save people's lives, he can give up the treasure of the family, which is not something that ordinary children can do, which is enough to prove that this Liu Gongzi has an excellent character.

Liu Lang bowed his hand and replied: "What did Mr. say, I noticed it when you entered the city with Lord Qincha that day, but there are a lot of trivial matters at home, and I am really powerless, so I neglected a few of them, sorry." ”

"Where the words. ”

Liu Lang didn't continue to be polite, but made a gesture of please: "A few people, please come in." ”

Followed Liu Lang into the front door, walked a few steps from the right side of the hall, and you could see the mourning hall in front of you, Liu Lang took the three of them straight to the mourning hall, and his own subordinates prepared agarwood and handed it to Zhang Shaoyang and Yao Sanming, as for Xi Wan, the woman was originally yin, and she clashes with this mourning hall, so she naturally can't get close to the coffin.

After the worship, Liu Lang took a few people around the mourning hall and went to the side hall.

Liu's Mansion is not big, and it is not even magnificent, but after all, it is an official family, and Liu Lang is a scholar, so the pattern of Liu's Mansion looks more elegant, every grass and every tree, and the pillars of the cloister are very particular.

After sitting in the side hall, Yao Sanming said: "The old man looked pale when he saw Liu Gongzi, it was because of Ling Zun's matter, this kind of thing is really a creation and a trick, and the son wants to mourn." ”

"Thank you, sir, the younger generation is fine, but my mother she... Ay... , as Mr. said, creation makes people also. ”

Liu Lang's face was calm as usual, and then he diverted the topic and said, "A few of you came today, it should be for the matter of fixing the soul bead." ”

"Exactly, thanks to Brother Liu's generosity, I can be regarded as picking up a life, and today I came to thank Brother Liu for his kindness. ”

"Hehe, there is no need to be like this, that bead was originally my father's collection, and now that my father has passed away, I don't care much about these things, and it can be used to save people's lives, which is also a merit. ”

Zhang Shaoyang's face was admired, when he saw Liu Lang for the first time, he still felt that this guy was not pleasing to the eye, but now it seems that it is really his own small belly chicken intestines, Zhang Shaoyang thought about it, he was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Anyway, Brother Liu has helped me a lot." ”

"I wonder where the Soul Bead is now?"

Zhang Shaoyang and Yao Sanming glanced at each other, somewhat embarrassed on their faces.

"Don't hide it from Brother Liu, that bead has turned into powder and entered my meridians. ”

Liu Lang was stunned for a moment, surprised in his heart, Liu Lang is no stranger to the meridians, Liu Zhi and his wife are both martial arts practitioners, and they will communicate with him on weekdays, but what surprised Liu Lang is that the soul bead does not know what material it is, even if it is beaten with a hammer, it can't be smashed open, how easy is it to turn into powder?

The Soul Bead has been treasured in the Liu family for decades, and he has seen it a few times, but it looks more transparent than other night pearls, and now listening to Zhang Shaoyang say this, it is obvious that this bead entered his meridians for nourishment, and only then did he save his life.

It seems that the soul bead is not only a miraculous effect of staying and nourishing the face!

Seeing Liu Lang's strange face, Zhang Shaoyang felt a little drumming in his heart, the soul bead was originally borrowed, and now it can't be used, no one will be happy.

So he hurriedly explained: "Brother Liu, I'm really sorry that the Soul Bead was destroyed, I didn't expect it to be like this, or you make a price, I will buy the Soul Bead, although I know that this can't make up for it, but it can reduce your loss." ”

Liu Lang smiled and quipped: "The Soul Bead is a priceless treasure, I guess you can't afford it." ”

Zhang Shaoyang's heart suddenly became nervous, whether he could afford to buy it or not, even if Liu Lang was willing to make a price, it must be a sky-high price, did he have so much silver at home?

Seeing Zhang Shaoyang's appearance, Liu Lang shook his head: "Since the beads have been destroyed, it's useless to talk about these things, if Brother Zhang doesn't want to go, he should owe me a favor, if I am in trouble in the future, you can help me, is this good?"

Zhang Shaoyang's eyes lit up: "It's easy to say, as long as Brother Liu has a place where I can be useful, I, Zhang Shaoyang, will definitely go all out." ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Solved this important matter, Zhang Shaoyang's depression was swept away, and he talked a few words, Liu Lang wanted to leave the three of them to eat at home, but the three of them were in a hurry, so they politely refused, Liu Lang sent the three out of the Zhizhou Mansion, and finally called a family member to send them all the way out of the city, which made Zhang Shaoyang a little ashamed of himself.

After sending the three of them away, the expression on Liu Lang's face returned to calm, he got up and returned to the room, deliberately changed into a pure white dress, took a white cloth belt from the table, and then tied it on his forehead, and then walked to the changing bronze mirror, carefully sorted out the clothes on his body and the filial piety belt on his head, the whole process was extremely fine.

After everything was taken care of, Liu Lang glanced at himself in the bronze mirror, his face was already good, coupled with his slender and well-proportioned figure, as well as the embellishment of this clothes, it showed that the jade tree was in the wind.

Today is the day of my father's burial.

Coincidentally, today is also the day of the burial of his father-killing enemy, and he was buried with his own hands, Liu Lang raised his hand, his hands seemed to be covered with earth-like sallow, he rubbed his hands vigorously, as if he wanted to rub off this layer of yellow, until the entire palm of the rubbed began to redden, Liu Lang smiled sadly, and then he put his hand behind his back and stopped looking at it.

"Dad, the holy decree should arrive in three or five days, no accident, the child should enter the Beijing Saint, do you want to say anything to the child?"

After this sentence, the room fell silent, Liu Lang seemed to be listening attentively, and after a long time, he showed a hearty smile, and then strode to the door, opened the door, paused slightly at the door, and said: "What Dad said, the child has written it down, but this Hongyuan is too big, and the child still needs to take precautions." ”

With that, he strode out of the room.

On the official road to the south of Chang'an, Zhang Shaoyang tied his sword with a strip of cloth, and then carried it diagonally behind his back.

He walked in the front, out of Chang'an, and went south through Xiangyang, so that he could return to Jiangling, somehow, after this experience, Zhang Shaoyang missed Jiangling a little at this time.

Especially Gao Jing... No, especially mom and dad and idiot, as well as Little Bucktooth and a few uncles.

Of course, there are those friends, who came out this time, came out with excitement and returned with a disappointment, and when they went back, they would inevitably be ridiculed by those guys, but Zhang Shaoyang was thick-skinned, so let's talk about it, and I can't drop two taels of meat after saying a few words.

Besides, those guys were imprisoned in Jiangling by their fathers and mothers, and they were estimated to envy him Zhang Shaoyang was envious to death, even if he was unforgiving, after teasing him, he didn't want to pester him to ask some strange things about the rivers and lakes.

Thinking of this, the distress of not being able to learn the sword disappeared in one go, but he was relieved, and he went back to be his father's heir with peace of mind.

Immediately, Zhang Shaoyang felt a little itchy in his heart, that Liu Gongzi is a real gentleman, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity and go back and pretend to be like this? Maybe Gao Jingshu will be impressed by herself, and when the time comes, she will change her mind and marry herself, then she will gain fame and fortune.

Damn, it's exciting to think about it~

"The surname is Zhang, where are you stealing fun? ”

"Suck ~~~"

Zhang Shaoyang hurriedly took a sip of saliva, coughed twice, and said with a little weakness: "You are wrong, how can there be." ”

"Obviously there is!" Xi Wan was unforgiving, thinking of Zhang Shaoyang's obscene appearance just now, she knew that this guy must be thinking about something that couldn't be put on the table.

"Ahem~~ Master, why don't you speak. Zhang Shaoyang hurriedly diverted the topic, so as not to be questioned by this girl.

"Hmm, the old man is thinking, then Liu Gongzi is really a strange person. ”

As soon as they heard Liu Gongzi's topic, Zhang Shaoyang and Xi Wan suddenly became interested, and asked in unison, "What strange person?"

"Liu Gongzi is obviously a virtuous person, which can't be pretended, but the strange thing is that his father has not been buried yet, but he behaves so calmly, which is unreasonable!"

The two were stunned: "It seems to be true." ”

Yao Sanming scratched his chest and reminded: "Your kid owes him a favor, you have to beware of this in the future, don't work for others at that time." ”

Zhang Shaoyang's expression was straight, he knew that when he returned to Jiangling, Yao Sanming and his master-apprentice relationship would probably be broken, which could be regarded as the last piece of advice.

"Thank you, Master. ”

Yao Sanming waved his hand and said no more.
