"I remember that year was also the Hundred Flowers Festival, although my mother was sick, she still insisted on taking me to see the lantern festival at night, and my brother was still swaddling that year, and he hid in his mother's arms and cried a lot. But I only felt that he was irritable, and that year, the three of us mother and daughter were ostracized in the Shangguan family. Although the lanterns are beautiful, I still think about how many white eyes and insults I will face when I return home.

At this time, the mother suddenly screamed, and she didn't know who was dipping the candy man behind her back. Taking advantage of the panic, a hand grabbed me and led me to the crowd. I was so scared that I cried out desperately, but I heard a man's laughter in my ears, "Boy, you have a good eye." "I looked up and saw a rickety young man facing me, his feet off the ground, flying backwards. I almost cried, but a hand covered my mouth. I turned my head and saw that it was a young man, handsome but with a cynical and evil face.

I bit his hand, and he grinned in pain, but he didn't let go. ”

When Dong Ping heard this, he smiled and said, "He said, he was bitten and it hurts." I'll take you to climb the light wheel. ”

The hundred-zhang high lantern wheel stood at the north gate of Yanlin City, slowly turning. I haven't been up since my father left. He really took me up to the lantern wheel, and on the lantern wheel, the young man said that he wanted to marry me. I knew he was joking, but I took it seriously. After that night, I heard that the boy had moved his family away from Yanlin. I thought he would come back, but I waited eleven years. But without him, I might have died in the power struggle of the family, just like my mother. I had the thought that I would live, and that the next time we would see him, I would take him to the lightwheel. ”

Dong Ping wanted to shake Guan Xi's hand, but she avoided it.

Dong Ping pretended to take it back inadvertently and said with a smile: "How did you recognize me." ”

"Your appearance will change, but the mole in the corner of your eye will not change. ”

Dong Ping touched the corners of his eyes, smiled self-deprecatingly, and muttered, "This mole is not my ......"

Shangguan Xi has regained the appearance of the arrogant, cold, and powerful young master of the Shangguan family. She stood up and said lightly, "But you are no longer him." ”

"yes, I'm not him. ”

"Will he ever come back?"

"Yes. ”

"When to ......"

"Waiting for the south is not the south, and waiting for the north is not the north. ”

Dong Ping wrapped his clothes, late at night, it was cold.

Although it no longer rained, and a light wheel was erected in the north of the city, Dong Ping knew that a violent storm was coming.

Tonight, Luyue Academy swept away the gloom and solemnity before, and everyone gathered together to welcome the distinguished guests.

Although Mo Canghai's cultivation can only be said to be general, his medical skills are superb, and he adheres to the will of his ancestors, has a benevolent heart, and practices medicine in the world. It can be said that 12 out of 10 people in the world have been blessed by it. Therefore, as soon as he entered Luyue Academy, he was treated as a guest. Even giants like Zhao Juejiang, who claim to be the old ancestors of the rivers and lakes, have to give Mo Canghai a third seat and then toast him with a glass of wine.

At the wine table, Mo Canghai is naturally the center of everyone. On either side of him were Zhao Juejiang and Abbot Hui Zheng. After that, there were Uncle Tai, Lord Youguan, Wu Yanwu, the two peak masters of Jiuyang Peak, and the pale-faced Jiang Palace Master and others.

Uncle Tai is tired of being the east, so he should raise his glass first. Uncle Tai tired of holding a cup and said with a smile: "Lord Mogu is really a rare guest, this year is the first time you have come to Yanlin to participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival, it is a happy event, this hospital respects Lord Mo Valley with a cup." ”

Mo Canghai stroked his long hair and said with a smile: "It's easy to say." ”

After that, the two clinked glasses and drank them all.

The abbot of Hui Zai continued: "The Lord of the Valley of Mo recently gave medicine to the victims of the Beimang disaster, which is a great merit. ”

Mo Canghai said with a smile: "In terms of merit, how can it be compared to Shaolin." I heard that in order to relieve the victims, the Shaolin Temple even gave up the food for the winter, and the monks in the temple also donated their monk robes and clothes. Even the clothes of the abbot of Hui Zheng have more than twenty patches. This cup should be honored by the abbot and Shaolin. ”

After the two of them finished drinking, Zhao Juejiang said with a smile: "Lord Mogu is quiet by nature, I don't know how I remembered that I wanted to come to Yanlin this year to join in the fun." ”

Mo Canghai hugged his fists and said: "Senior Zhao said that he laughed, I, Mo Canghai, didn't come to Yanlin to join in the fun." ”

As soon as these words came out, the venue fell silent.

Mo Canghai glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Among the thirty-six states in Beimang, not only Dongzhou has sent a big flood. I heard that the disaster in Yanzhou is particularly severe, although this Yanlin is no longer the imperial capital, but it has not changed the stinky problem of the imperial capital. Natural disasters and man-made disasters outside the city, and the city is staggered. I came to Yanlin, not to participate in any flower festival, but to discuss with the masters of the sect how to do our best for the people of Beimang. ”

Uncle Tai put down the wine glass and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Lord Mogu is really ashamed of his words, as the dean of Luyue Academy, I am supposed to shoulder the mission of Confucianism and help the world, but I am here to eat meat and drink wine, which is really ridiculous and generous." ”

Mo Canghai waved his hand and said, "Uncle Tai's words are serious, on my way to Yanlin, I also saw many academy disciples relieving the victims. The duty of the academy has already been sitting. ”

"I'm ashamed. Uncle Tai raised his glass and drank it all, his face was unspeakably entangled.

Mo Canghai said with a smile: "Uncle Tai, why did you only see the first branch president of Wu Academy today. Dean Qin of the Dragon Measuring Academy, Dean Xu of the Painting and Calligraphy Academy, why didn't they come, I haven't seen them for a long time, but I miss them a little. ”

After looking at Zhao Juejiang, Uncle Tai and Zhao Juejiang looked at each other, and said: "Lord Mogu is dedicated to studying medical skills, hanging pots to help the world, and it is normal not to understand the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and now Yanlin will have a big chaos, in order to avoid Dean Qin and other gentlemen and students who are not martial arts people, this academy will give them a holiday, let them pass the Hundred Flowers Festival, and then return to Yanlin." ”

Mo Canghai nodded and didn't ask more. Suddenly, he suddenly said: "Everyone else has to take a vacation, and Superintendent Lu will never take a vacation too." After that, Mo Canghai laughed.

Uncle Tai shook his head tiredly and said: "Lord Mogu doesn't know, Superintendent Lu has suffered some injuries in Cangzhou, and now he is in retreat and recuperation, and it is our academy that can't come out to visit Lord Mogu. ”

Mo Canghai frowned and said, "Uncle Dean, this is yours, isn't it, since Superintendent Lu is injured, why don't you let me show him." "After that, when Mo Canghai got up, he had to make a gesture and go out of the room.

Uncle Tai immediately glanced at Wu Yanwu, Wu Yanwu stood up very reluctantly, grabbed Mo Canghai and pulled out a smile and said: "Lord Mogu don't worry, Lu Xuejian's injury has healed most of the time, and now he is just doing pranayama quietly." ”

Uncle Tai's tired eyes just now, Zhao Juejiang and Abbot Hui Zheng saw it in their eyes, but they didn't break it.

General Mo Canghai sat down suspiciously and said, "Uncle Dean, although Superintendent Lu is from your academy, he also has some friendship with me. If Superintendent Lu makes the slightest mistake, I will have to get tired of your uncle. ”

Uncle Tai smiled tiredly: "School Supervisor Lu's injury is indeed fine. ”

Zhao Juejiang said lightly: "Lord Mogu, the old man has something I want to ask. ”

"Senior Zhao, please speak. ”

Zhao Juejiang shook his head and said: "It's not okay for people to be disobedient to the old, when the old man practiced swords yesterday, he suddenly felt that his right arm was in pain, like a needle prick, I don't know why?"

Mo Canghai frowned and said, "I'm here to be a lineage for Senior Zhao." ”

Zhao Juejiang stretched out his hand, and when Mo Canghai's fingers just touched Zhao Juejiang's wrist, he was suddenly startled, and then, his face returned to normal and said: "It's not a big problem, it's the secret injury that Senior Zhao left on his arm before, and after the banquet is over, I will come to acupuncture for Senior Zhao, and it will be healed." ”

Zhao Juejiang said with a smile: "Then the old man thanked Lord Mogu first." ”

"The seniors are serious. ”

In a trance, the night was almost over, and after a moment of greetings, everyone dispersed. After everyone left, only Uncle Ti and Wu Yanwu were left in the room.

Uncle Taiti said with a gloomy face: "Chief Wu Yuan, do you think that Lord Mogu suddenly came here this time, is it really to save the victims?"

Wu Yanwu sighed and said: "Uncle Dean, I really don't know how much you are hiding from me, I see that Lord Mogu is sincere, and there is no lie, let alone any other purpose. Uncle Tai, I know that as the head of the first academy, and you share the heavy responsibility of magnifying Confucianism with the Confucian family in Luzhou, you must have many hardships in your heart. But you can tell me that when I brought Ah Jiu from Huzhou to Yanlin, if it wasn't for the dean's rescue, the two of us would have died long ago. I, Wu Yanwu, am just a rough man in the end, although I have been contaminated with some bookish air in recent years, but the essence has not changed.

I have always treated the dean as a lifesaver in my heart, and I am willing to go to the soup for the dean. Dean, if there's anything on your mind, tell me. ”

Uncle Tai was tired of standing in front of the window, his body was slightly rickety, and the mottled white hair on his temples added a lot of fatigue to him.

Uncle Tai muttered tiredly: "How good this world is, I am reluctant to Yan Lin, reluctant to the academy, reluctant to be a student, and reluctant to be reluctant to you old friends......"

"Dean?"

Uncle Tai waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go back and rest." Superintendent Lu is not here, so you and I will bear this burden more. ”

"Dean!"

Uncle Tai was tired and suddenly seemed to be forty or fifty years old, and he said weakly: "Let's go." ”

Wu Yanwu was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, "Yes, Dean." Take care of yourself. ”

Mo Canghai took his hands and wandered around the academy, his brows furrowed, and he muttered, "Master Zhao, what do you mean?" After staying for half an hour, Mo Canghai resolutely walked towards the other courtyard where Lord Zhao lived.

When he was about to walk to Zhao Juejiang's residence, suddenly, a figure rushed from behind him and passed by him. Mo Canghai frowned and shouted, "Dong Ping!"

The man turned around, looked at Mo Canghai and smiled, "You are the Lord of Mo Valley?"

Mo Canghai's eyes shimmered, and he said with a smile: "Yes, no wonder Xiao Shanming and they want to find you, you are indeed a clever person." ”

Dong Ping walked over and said in a low voice, "There is Lord Laomo Valley, I have already met Dean Jin. ”

Mo Canghai signaled him to silence and then said softly: "If you have anything to say, I will talk about it in detail after I have visited Zhao Jian Master." ”
