"Grandpa Zhao, it's me! I'm Cheng Hao!" Cheng Hao, who came back to his senses, hurriedly exclaimed loudly.

"You kid, why didn't you say a word when you came over, didn't scare you just now, did you?"

Old man Zhao scolded him, and his words revealed a trace of fear and strong love. Xindao himself was distracted during the practice and almost injured Cheng Hao by mistake. Although Cheng Hao is not very interested in martial arts, it does not affect his love for Cheng Hao, and he has long regarded this child as his own grandson.

"No... No, Grandpa Zhao, isn't it the most taboo for others to disturb you during your morning exercises, I'm afraid that you will make a noise, so I'm standing here waiting. You promised me yesterday that you were going to teach me how to read and to give me two books, so I came here early today. ”

After all, he was still a child, and after a while, he seemed to forget the fear he had just had. A pair of smart big eyes revealed a hint of playfulness, and at this moment, Cheng Hao was even thinking in his heart, could he take this opportunity to tell Old Man Zhao not to let him practice martial arts today.

"It's okay! It's cold outside, come with me to the study, I won't practice martial arts today!" Old man Zhao couldn't see his little caution, and as he spoke, Old Man Zhao stroked Cheng Hao's head and led him into the study.

"Hao'er, what do you remember about the words and poems you were taught last time?"

"I remember everything, I can also memorize the ancient poem you called me last time. ”

Speaking of which, Cheng Hao is a little proud, he has a good memory, and he can learn many things as soon as he learns them. For this reason, Grandpa Zhao praised him a lot. Just as he was talking, he was attracted by a piece of jade pendant on the desk, and inexplicably felt a little intimate with it!

"Yo! I wrote it down so quickly, it's not bad!" Old man Zhao praised with a smile. He felt that Cheng Hao was good at everything, but he didn't like to practice martial arts, which made him a little regretful! He handed Cheng Hao two thread-bound books, and pretended to be serious, "These are the two poems I sorted out for you, take them and study them carefully, I will take the test for you in the future!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao!"

Cheng Hao flipped through the thread-bound books, he used to come here to practice calligraphy, and he was taught word by word with Grandpa Zhao, it was the first time he got his own books, and he should have been extremely happy, but his eyes still looked at the jade pendant on the table from time to time, he was sure that he had never seen this thing, but he couldn't understand why he felt this way.

"Have you ever seen this jade pendant?" Cheng Hao's abnormality was naturally seen by Old Man Zhao, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he took the jade pendant to Cheng Hao's eyes and asked!

"No, I haven't seen it!But it makes me feel very kind!" Cheng Hao shook his head and replied. Stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

This piece of jade ornament is pale cyan throughout, without a trace of impurities, oval-shaped, and a three-legged round tripod is carved in the middle. Said to be a carving, look carefully more like inlaid on, carved with a lot of patterns and some unknown animals, after holding it in the hand, people have a kind of indescribable peace, for a while I feel refreshed, even the weather of this month is not so cold.

"Kind?" Zao Wou-Ki said incredulously, frowning. He knew Cheng Hao's character, and he would never lie because he liked this jade pendant.

"Yes, I don't know what's going on, maybe it's an illusion!" Cheng Hao looked at it for a while and felt that this jade pendant was very wonderful. But although he had never seen the world since he was a child in Shicun, he also knew that this kind of thing was generally valuable, so he returned it to Old Man Zhao after reading it.

When Old Man Zhao took back the jade pendant, he suddenly saw a layer of light flashing on it. This light was very faint, and Cheng Hao didn't notice it at all, but in Old Man Zhao's eyes, it was like a strong light flashing.

He looked at Yu Pei with some surprise, and his mind was full of thoughts. This jade pendant has a great origin, and he has not had any abnormalities for decades, how could he come to Cheng Hao in this situation?

Cheng Hao didn't know what Old Man Zhao was thinking, and after returning the jade pendant, he didn't notice Old Man Zhao's abnormality, and opened the book again to look through it carefully.

"Oh, that's right! Grandpa Zhao, last night my father and mother discussed, after the New Year, they will send me to the county seat to study..."Suddenly remembering his parents' words, Cheng Hao immediately shared his joy with Old Man Zhao. He felt that this matter had to be the first to be known to Grandpa Zhao, although he was still young, he knew that this kind of thing should be told to him.

"Hmm..." Old man Zhao was obviously stunned, Cheng Hao grew up with him, and when he heard that he was leaving, he was very reluctant. Sitting in his chair with all his thoughts on his mind, he didn't know what was going on in his heart, and after a moment he said, "Child, you have grown up, and since your father and mother have decided, then work hard." But remember, if you want to succeed, you must take one step at a time, and don't be ambitious. Only by making achievements in the future can we live up to the expectations of our elders. ”

Cheng Hao sat on the side and listened, he only knew that he would study hard in the future. In the future, I will be filial to my parents and repay the enlightenment teacher in front of me who takes care of me like a grandfather. As for the rest, what will happen in the future, he doesn't know, and he doesn't think too much about it when he is young.

"Since you're about to leave, I won't teach you words today, you go home first, and you come early tomorrow morning, and I have something to explain to you." ”

"Oh... Alright!"

Cheng Hao pouted, a little unhappy that he couldn't learn words today. Fortunately, he got two books, so he was not in a bad mood, and he turned around and was about to walk out.

"Hehe... This jade pendant is related to you, and the New Year is coming soon, so let's take it as a gift from your grandfather!"

Looking at Cheng Hao's disappointed expression, Old Man Zhao couldn't help but stop him with a smile. After speaking, he seemed to think of something, stretched out half of his hand and hesitated, and the smile on his face slowly dissipated, but he still handed the jade pendant to Cheng Hao, and instructed with a solemn expression: "This thing is very important, don't let anyone see it!"

"It's... Grandpa Zhao, do you really want to give it to me?" Cheng Hao couldn't believe it, thinking that his actions just now had made Grandpa Zhao misunderstand!

"Take it, it's useless for me to keep it!" Old man Zhao smiled and motioned for Cheng Hao to take it.

"Okay then! Thank you, Grandpa Zhao!"

Cheng Hao, who was already a little kind to this jade pendant, didn't shirk it, and took it and put it close to him. But I am more and more curious in my heart, what is Grandpa Zhao's identity? A belly of knowledge, superb swordsmanship, and a magical jade pendant! And today's behavior of Grandpa Zhao is also a little abnormal, especially when looking at this jade pendant, it is the most obvious, and I feel more and more that Grandpa Zhao is extremely mysterious.

"Grandpa has some things to do today, you can go back! Remember what I said, the jade pendant must not be seen by others!" Old man Zhao instructed again and again.

"Got it, don't worry!" Seeing Old Man Zhao's solemn expression, Cheng Hao knew that this thing must be very important, thinking that he would help Grandpa Zhao keep it for a while and return it to him later.

After a moment of silence, Old Man Zhao got up and walked to the window, as if he was thinking about something, and seemed to be just to appreciate the snowflakes that had fallen outside at some point, he sighed inexplicably, stared at the window and waved his hand to Cheng Hao.

"Go back! Remember to come early tomorrow!"

"Oh!"

Cheng Hao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he turned around and went home.

At this moment, there was only Old Man Zhao left in the room, and he only heard him muttering to himself: "Zhao Wouji, Zhao Wouji, is it right for you to do this, should you give this child a jade pendant in the ninth turn... Alas, you are old, there is no point in guarding these anymore, leave a chance for the future, and don't let yourself have regrets..."

Years ago, he had noticed that there was an occasional vague aura approaching near the village. It's just that his strength is not very good, and with his strength, it is easy to hide his aura and avoid the detection of those people. And how could those old monsters in the rivers and lakes believe that the arrogant Zao Wou-Ki would be willing to stay in such a dilapidated small village in silence?

However, this is exactly what happened.

If anyone heard these words at this moment, they would be shocked. Zao Wou-Ki and Jiuzhuan Jade Pei, if these two things are spread, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the imperial court, I am afraid that it will set off a bloody storm...
