When Lu Sanchuan heard that Wei Wuqi came to the mansion yesterday, he couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "What did Senior Wei do when he came to the mansion?"

Yuan Qiming's face was still a little ugly, and he was quite displeased, and said in a deep voice: "I said that I haven't seen each other for a long time to catch up on the old days, and I said a lot of nice things." However, he did not stay long, leaving a letter and two jars of wine and left. ”

Lu Sanchuan Gu whispered a word, "Letter?" Yuan Qiming took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, "Hmm." While you were asleep, I didn't bother to take care of it, and I put it in my bosom and didn't care about it anymore. Now that you are awake, I will give it to you, and you will read what is written in this letter. ”

Lu Sanchuan's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he faintly felt bad in his heart, and after opening the letter and reading it, his cheeks turned even redder, and his hands couldn't help shaking.

Seeing him like this, Yuan Qiming hurriedly asked, "Chuan'er, what is written in the letter?"

Lu Sanchuan couldn't believe his eyes, but the black and white words were clear, the rows of crooked squares were not only very ugly, but the meaning was even more unbearable.

Yuan Qiming hurriedly said: "Chuan'er, what is written in the letter!"

With tears wrapped in red eyes, Lu Sanchuan only felt that his eyes were sour and swollen, and he couldn't help but close them, but he was unwilling to close them. He slowly turned his head and handed the letter to Yuan Qiming. Yuan Qiming hurriedly took it with both hands and lowered his head to read.

The letter reads:

When I heard the news of Lu Daxia's death, I was very shocked, so I rushed to Jiangzhou overnight to find out the truth, but Lu Daxia's house was engulfed in flames. I was shocked, but I saw Lu Daxia's son walking out of the house. I was worried about the situation of Lu Daxia's son, so I hurriedly stepped forward to care, but Lu Daxia's son was very disdainful and ridiculed me for being rude. I thought I didn't read much, and I was helpless to be ridiculed, so I asked Lu Daxia's son if he knew who set fire to the mansion. Lu Daxia's son coldly admitted that the fire was set by himself. I was all shocked, and the son of Lu Daxia was very indifferent, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. Brother Yuan, Lu Daxia has been a bright and righteous man all his life, but his son is so ruthless and vicious, it is unbelievable. I originally wanted to do the right thing for heaven and kill this unfilial son, but thinking that the Lu family is the only one in this line, if I forcibly intervene for others, it is really inappropriate, so I want to tell you. I know that you have a deep relationship with Lu Daxia, if you speak rashly, you will not believe it, and you will suspect me of sowing discord. I had no choice but to leave a letter. If you don't get angry after reading it, you might as well go to the rivers and lakes and ask. Wait for your confirmation, please deal with it yourself.

Wei respectfully.

Yuan Qiming's eyes were blood-red after reading it, he crumpled the letter into a ball and slammed it on the ground, and said angrily: "How can people be so shameless!" After finishing speaking, he remembered the two jars of jade qiong wine left by Wei Wuqi, and felt a hot pain on his face, so he whispered: "Chuan'er, you come with me." ”

The two went out. Yuan Qiming was in front, his footsteps were very big, and he reached six feet away in one step, and Lu Sanchuan had to trot to follow.

At four o'clock, the man woke up from his dream. Dead leaves blown off by the night wind can be seen everywhere in the mansion, and servants are sweeping with brooms, chatting and doing their work. Suddenly, Yuan Qiming walked with a blue face, and the servants who were chatting hurriedly buried their heads and swept the floor in a muffled voice.

There are many customers in Yuan's house, most of them are martial artists who have kung fu but can't make a living. Yuan Qiming was bold and spacious, so he left them in Yuan's house and served wine and food every day. The doormen are grateful to Yuan Qiming, and if Yuan Qiming is in trouble, they will bear the brunt.

At this time, most of the doormen who had been drinking all night had not woken up, and there were also several scholar swordsmen who were practicing swords in the wide atrium. Yuan Qiming didn't seem to see it and walked straight by. The scholar swordsmen immediately understood, and followed Lu Sanchuan to the wine cellar.

Luan Wei had already taken out the Yuqiong wine, leaned on the stone lion outside the cellar, and sighed with half-squinted eyes while drinking: "The jade qiong from the sky moistens my heart, and Du Kang will not mention it in the future." ”

Yuan Qiming became more and more annoyed in his heart, walked quickly, kicked up the wine jar in Luan Wei's arms, clenched his fists and rushed out, only to hear a "bang", and the wine jar was torn apart.

Luan Wei noticed that the wine jar in his arms had disappeared, and he hurriedly opened his eyes, and was surprised to see the wine jar flying upward, and after a while, the wine jar exploded, and the mellow jade liquid was sprinkled one after another. "Wine!" he cried out, "Wine, my wine!" and hurriedly opened his mouth to bring the wine to his mouth.

Yuan Qiming shouted: "Still drink!"

Luan Wei immediately woke up and stood up, and bowed deeply to Yuan Qiming: "My subordinates know their mistakes. ”

Yuan Qiming snorted and said coldly: "Chuan'er, you go down with me, and the rest of the people are waiting outside." ”

Luan Wei and several scholar swordsmen clasped their fists and replied, "Yes, the master of the door." After Yuan Qiming and Lu Sanchuan went to the wine cellar, a few people whispered.

"Why is the master so angry today?"

"It stands to reason that the young master is ushered in, and the door master should be happy. ”

"There must be something hidden in this. Senior Luan, do you know the reason?"

Luan Wei shook his head, stared at the wetness under his feet, raised his hand and touched the area around his mouth, cheeks, and touched his hands full of residual wine.

Lu Sanchuan followed Yuan Qiming down to the wine cellar, his mind was suddenly a little dizzy, so he had to stop and hold on to the wall and moan softly. Yuan Qiming turned his head when he heard the voice, although his eyebrows were still furrowed, seeing Lu Sanchuan squinting his eyes and stroking his forehead, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Lu Sanchuan, and said with concern: "Chuan'er, this wine cellar is indeed dull, and it is inevitable that you will be short of breath when you first enter the wine cellar." If you are not feeling well, rest here for a while, and I will go and go back. ”

Lu Sanchuan took a few breaths, shook his head and withdrew his hand, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, Uncle Yuan, let's go." ”

Yuan Qiming no longer dissuaded, but slowed down.

When the two of them descended the stone steps, it was already dark. Yuan Qiming took off the torch hanging along the wall, took out the fire fold from his arms, and lit the torch after a while. There is not enough air in the cellar, and the fire is not abundant, so it can only bring some light.

A foot away is a wooden door.

Yuan Qiming pushed the door in. The cellar is full of jars, of varying sizes and heights, with only a three-foot path in the middle leading to a deeper door.

The two of them walked briskly deeper, and then pushed open another door, and saw a three-foot-high clay table in the center, surrounded by a wine jar that was smaller than the outer cellar.

As soon as Yuan Qiming saw a wine jar placed on the mud table, he remembered Wei Wuqi's seemingly friendly but cunning smiling face, and he rolled in anger, and couldn't help but rush forward in two steps, smashing the wine jar with the mud table, and then turned around and shouted: "Chuan'er! From today onwards, you will stay by my side and learn my life's skills, and then step all over the rivers and lakes! Let those things who rely on the old and sell the old, and put arrows with a smile in the open and in the dark, see what a real hero and a real chivalrous man are!"

Lu Sanchuan lowered his head and said hesitantly: "Uncle Yuan... I don't want to practice martial arts..."

Yuan Qiming's eyes widened in disbelief, and although he heard it really well, he still asked, "What did you say?"

Lu Sanchuan said: "I... I'm here because my father commanded me when he died... It's not for the sake of martial arts..."

Yuan Qiming's eyes widened, and he almost shouted, "Aren't you revenge?!"

Lu Sanchuan said: "I don't know who the other party is... Besides, when is the time for retribution..."

Yuan Qiming was like a deflated ball, hanging his shoulders and hunched over and opening his mouth to squint, after a while, he stood up straight again, strode to hug Lu Sanchuan's shoulder, and said, "Chuan'er, let's go." ”

Lu Sanchuan didn't dare to answer, and let Yuan Qiming walk out of the cellar with his arms in his arms.

Luan Wei waited outside the wine cellar, and when he saw Yuan Qiming walking out of the wine cellar with a dead face, he was shocked, frightened and worried, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted Yuan Qiming, and said in unison: "See the door master." ”

Yuan Qiming didn't say anything, until he walked out of the two zhang, he tilted his head slightly and said, "Luan Wei, go and clean the inner cellar." ”

Luan Wei replied, "Yes, master." So he took a broom and a dustpan. As soon as he smelled it, he knew that it was the fragrance of Yuqiong wine, and trotted into the inner cellar, but saw that the ground was full of messes, and the wine was mixed with the dirt and broken cans. He screamed several times in succession, "Ah, my wine!, my wine!", threw the broompan aside, threw himself forward, pressed his hand against the mess, and then raised his hand above his head, and opened his mouth to wait for the remnant of the wine to slip through his fingers. After a long time, two or three drops finally fell into my mouth.

He smashed his mouth, and he was still unsatisfied, so he kept eating and drinking in this way. By the time he finished cleaning and walked out of the cellar, it was already dusk.

After Yuan Qiming finished practicing the knife, he was sweating profusely, and his clothes were close to his skin, which was unbearable. He jumped into the tub, and the hot water washed away the fatigue of his flesh. He closed his eyes and took a long breath, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Benchi in the white mist on the water, and felt guilty in his heart: If I can't persuade Chuan'er to practice martial arts, how can I be worthy of my eldest brother?

He raised his arms on the edge of the tub and rested his head back on the edge of the tub, looking at the ceiling to think about what to do.

Lu Sanchuan sat in the study one afternoon and flipped through a copy of "The Mantra of Pure Heart". Written by an unknown Taoist priest, the book contains mantras that "reciting mantras silently with your eyes closed can calm your mind." After he finished reading, he put the book on the table, closed his eyes and crossed his legs, and silently recited the mantra in his heart, "Knowing is not good, good is not knowing, ignorance is not good, no goodness is ignorance", reading and reading, but suddenly remembered "Wisdom Heart", and then said in his heart, "Cycle without beginning, cycle and again, it is not as good as the heart, and it is not as good as the gallop of the underworld.

When the dantian was slightly hot, he suddenly opened his eyes, turned his eyes left and right to check the surrounding situation, and saw that he was still in the study, so he breathed a sigh of relief, put his feet back on the ground, and thought in his heart: My father wants me to find Uncle Yuan, and I have achieved it. Uncle Yuan wanted me to practice martial arts, but I didn't want to, I just wanted to live in Minxiang and be an inconsequential ordinary person. However, how should I speak to Uncle Yuan? I have already broken his heart in the cellar, and if I tell him what I think in my heart, although he will not object, he will be extremely disappointed. Hey, it's hard to have it both ways.
