12. Dissatisfaction and jealousy are on fire, and unwarranted suspicion and hatred arise
Qin Zun sat on the chair, staring at the oil lamp on the table, and fell into deep thought. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He remembered the fight outside the noodle shop in Mud Cow Town that day, and the hateful face of the man who claimed to be the Heavenly King to help Chai Bing appeared in front of his eyes again.
"Although that man is hateful, his martial arts are really good, and he subdued me with just one move. Qin Zun thought to himself, "Chai Bing, why have I never heard of such a master before? What is he doing when he suddenly came out to compete with me?" However, he didn't know much about the Heavenly Kings Gang, so although he thought about it a lot, he couldn't figure it out.
"Brother Honor, are you in the house?" suddenly came the voice of a person outside the door.
Qin Zun heard that it was the fourth junior brother Ning Buping, so he responded: "Is it uneven?" The door is not locked, you can come in." ”
The door of the house was pushed open with a "creak", and a man dressed in white walked into the house, and it was Ning Buping. Ning Buping saw Qin Zun and said with a smile: "Brother Venerable, I heard that you are back today, I came to see you." ”
Among the many senior brothers, Qin Zun and Ning Buping are the best. When Qin Zun went up the mountain, Xu Yun had already lived alone on the bamboo forest path, and he was the only one who followed Zhang Fangzhou to practice martial arts on weekdays. It didn't take long for Long Yiwen and Ning Buping to also worship under Zhang Fangzhou's door. But Long Yiwen took the art up the mountain, and Zhang Fangzhou taught martial arts according to Long Yiwen's martial arts foundation, which was different from the martial arts taught to other disciples, so Qin Zun practiced with Ning Buping on weekdays, plus the two were of similar age, and soon became close friends. As for people like Zhou Kun, Zhong Shidao and others, they have only gone up the mountain in recent years, although they are also good with Qin Zun and have a lot of contacts, but naturally they are not as deep as the love between Qin Zun and Ning Buping.
Qin Zun pointed to the chair next to the table and said, "Don't stand and talk, sit down." When I went to your room to look during the day, I saw that you were not there, and you went down the mountain?" Ning Buping sat down and responded: "Well, Master asked me to go to Shengzhou a few days ago, and I just came back this evening. As soon as I went up the mountain, I heard that you were back, so after I went to the master to restore my life, I came directly over. ”
Qin Zun listened to Ning Buping's words and said, "What did Master ask you to do in Shengzhou?" Ning Buping said: "Isn't it the incident in Yujiazhuang, Master said that the people of the Tianwang Gang are doing evil in the name of our Yunzhuang, I am afraid that there is any intention, so let me go to Shengzhou to find out the news, after all, the helm of the Tianwang Gang is there." However, I stayed in Shengzhou for a few days and didn't collect any useful clues, so I had to come back first. ”
Qin Zun couldn't help but change his face when he heard Ning Buping mention the words "Heavenly King Gang", but he immediately returned to normal and asked: "Buping, do you say that the martial arts of our Yunzhuang and the martial arts of the Heavenly King Gang are stronger or weaker?" Didn't the people in the rivers and lakes say that at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference ten years ago, our master defeated Wang Guanru, the leader of the Tianwang Gang? It is said that Wang Guanru is the number one master in the Tianwang Gang, and the first person in his gang was defeated by the master, so it can be seen that his Tianwang Gang's martial arts must be inferior to our Yunzhuang. Brother Venerable, why are you suddenly asking this?"
Qin Zun's face changed again when he heard this, and he muttered for a long time before he said slowly: "I won't tell you, this time I went down the mountain, and I fought with a person who claimed to be the Heavenly King to help Chai Bing. Ning Buping exclaimed: "You fought with the people of the Heavenly King Gang, what's the matter?" Qin Zun told all the things he had encountered in Niniu Town, Ning Buping learned that Chai Bing had broken the long sword in Qin Zun's hand with just one move, and he was extremely stunned, and he couldn't speak.
Qin Zun talked about the competition and said: "It's not fair, if this matter is made public, it will make me lose face, I only say that I will listen to you alone, you don't have to tell others." Ning Buping nodded and said, "Master, can't you say it there? After all, this matter is related to the Heavenly King Gang." Qin Zun said: "Naturally, I can't talk about it, otherwise I would have told the master a long time ago." I guess this guy just happened to see me on the road and decided to compete with me on the spur of the moment. "Ning Buping has been with Qin Zun for a long time, and he already knows that he is a little vain, if such a humiliating thing can rot in his stomach, it is the best, he can not only tell it to himself, but also trust himself, of course he can't let him down.
Ning Buping said "Okay", and when he saw Qin Zun sullen, he changed the topic and said, "I just heard from Master that he will be in retreat in a few days, so I really want to congratulate you first." Qin Zunqi said: "Master retreat, how happy am I?" Ning Buping stroked his hand and said: "Didn't you notice? Master has been out of the customs a few times recently, and each time he will teach you a new set of martial arts." Last time, the master taught you the 'Bai Gui Sword', and the last time he taught you the 'Grass and Wood Boxing Method', I think after this time, you can learn new martial arts again. ”
Qin Zun shook his head and said, "I haven't practiced the Bai Gui sword yet, how can the master pass on my new swordsmanship?" Ning Buping said: "Master's master's mastery is not only the swordsmanship, haven't you also learned the grass and wood boxing technique before, I think, maybe the master will pass on the falling flower palm to you when he goes out of the customs this time." This is the real stunt of our Yunzhuang, only the master and the senior brother can do it on the rivers and lakes!"
Qin Zun's eyes suddenly widened when he heard the words "Falling Flower Palm", and his face became gloomy. Ning Buping thought that Qin Zun would be happy when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Qin Zun was not happy and angry, so he stopped saying no more.
Qin Zun stared at Ning Buping and said coldly: "You are wrong, there is another person who will make the Flower Palm, and that person is Long Yiwen." On the way back from Sanjiangkou, he had been depressed and didn't speak much, so naturally he lost face because he was drugged by villains, but in fact, part of the reason was that he heard from Ah Fei's mouth that the dragon would fall into the palm of his hand. When he heard Ning Buping mention the Falling Flower Palm, he unconsciously thought of Long Yiwen, so he couldn't help gritting his teeth and burning with jealousy.
Ning Buping asked the reason carefully, and he was not happy: "Brother Venerable, I have to say a few more words about this matter, the master is a little too partial, and he secretly passed on the third senior brother to the palm of the flower without us." You were ahead of that Long Yiwen, and the master didn't teach you first, but taught him first! In terms of master-apprentice relationship, that Long Yiwen only studied art in the mountains for three years and then left the master, but you have been following the master for almost ten years. Besides, in the past few years, the master has handed over a lot of things on the scene in the village to you to take care of, how many things have you done for our Yunzhuang, and what has he done to Long Yiwen?
Qin Zun waved his hand to stop Ning Buping and said: "Master has his own reason for doing this, I think he has a foundation in martial arts as soon as he comes to the Dragon Text, maybe Master thinks that he has reached the time when he can practice the Falling Flower Palm, so he passed it on to him." ”
Ning Buping said angrily: "Brother Venerable, do you really think so?"
Of course, Qin Zun was extremely dissatisfied with Long Yiwen's falling palm in his heart, and he had a slight hatred for his master Zhang Fangzhou, but how could he say this to Ning Buping? He closed his eyes and said, "That's natural, but knowing that Long Yiwen will fall into the palm of flowers, I am really uncomfortable in my heart." It's uneven, it's not early, you just came back from Shengzhou, and it's time to rest. ”
Ning Buping knew that he didn't want to say more, so he said, "Okay, then you should rest early." ”
Qin Zun got up and sent Ning Buping out of the door, and suddenly Ning Buping turned around and said, "By the way, Brother Venerable, I haven't asked you yet, how did you get along with the little junior sister this time?"
Qin Zun looked at the surroundings and said, "How do you get along, naturally you get along very well." ”
Ning Buping smiled evilly: "Others don't know, but you can't hide it from me, I know that you have long admired the little junior sister, but I won't tell others." ”
Qin Zun smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Ning Buping leaned over to Qin Zun and said, "But I think Master's future son-in-law is very likely to be you." What do you think, this is the first time my sister has gone down the mountain, and the master doesn't let others take her, but prefers you to take her. In addition, in the past few years, there have been a lot of things that should have been handled by the master, and the master has handed them over to you, isn't this a sign that the master trusts you to reuse you? Maybe the master wants you to be the owner of this future Yunzhuang village. I wonder if Master will not only teach you to fall out of this retreat, but also give you your daughter. ”
Qin Zun pushed Ning Buping and said in a low voice: "If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for turning my face, go quickly." ”
Ning Buping saw Qin Zun raise his hand and pretend to beat him, so he made a grimace and fled with a smile.
Qin Zun watched Ning Buping walk away, then shook his head with a smile, closed the door, extinguished the oil lamp, and lay down to rest.
Lying on the bed, Qin Zun tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and Ning Buping's words kept echoing in his ears. Although those words were a joke of Ning Buping, they were not unreasonable. Thinking of Ning Buping's sentence "Not only do I want to teach you to fall into the palm of my hand, but I also want to give you my daughter", he was uneasy and had no intention of sleeping.
In the past few years, Qin Zun has helped Zhang Fangzhou do things, and he has participated in most of the big and small things on the rivers and lakes, and he is also quite famous in the rivers and lakes. He had also heard some rumors in the rivers and lakes that the future heir of Yunzhuang might be his Qin Zun Qin Gongzi, and he felt that those people were just chasing after the wind, so he didn't pay attention to it. However, today he heard Ning Buping, who was also a disciple of Yunzhuang, say this, and couldn't help but believe it: "Master doesn't want me to be the heir, and he won't let me do these things." The master has no children under his knees, only a daughter. If he wanted me to be the heir, then he would let me marry my sister, so he would let my sister go down the mountain with me. ”
Thinking of Zhang Yuting, Qin Zun's heart couldn't help but flutter, but when he thought of Zhang Yuting asking Fang Jin Xu Yun about his diet in front of the mountain gate today, he couldn't help but be annoyed again: "Maybe others didn't find out, but I always feel that my senior sister loves the senior brother in her heart." Although she grew up beside Xu Yun since she was a child, she should regard him as a brother, but that kind of care doesn't seem to be like a brother and sister. ”
Thinking that Zhang Yuting might have secretly promised Xu Yunfang, Qin Zun felt as if a boulder was pressing on his chest. He thought that when he first went up the mountain, Xu Yun seemed to be the future owner of the village in the mouths of the villagers, and at that time he also thought that Xu Yun would inherit the master's huge family business. But for so many years, Xu Yun has been living in seclusion in the bamboo forest path, not asking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, many people in the martial arts no longer know Xu Yun's name, and only old-timers like Yu Wanting will remember that there is such a person as Xu Yun. Qin Zun had seen more than once that when someone mentioned Xu Yun in front of his master, the master always frowned and said nothing, as if he was unhappy, thinking that he might be quite dissatisfied with Xu Yun to do this.
As long as the master likes me, even if the junior sister loves the senior brother in her heart, the master will not lend her junior sister to him. After all, Yunzhuang's position in the rivers and lakes is very important, and the master must carefully consider his daughter's husband, not by the temperament of the junior sister, as long as I can win the master's favor, it will be enough. Thinking like this, Qin Zun let out a long sigh of relief.
Qin Zun yawned, turned over and wanted to sleep, but somehow suddenly thought of Ah Fei, who he had just seen on the Qingshi Terrace: "Why does Master want to keep him in Yunzhuang, and ask him to follow Senior Brother to practice martial arts?"
When Qin Zun thought of Ah Fei, he fell asleep again, and secretly pondered: "When I was in Niniu Town that day, I originally wanted to send the letter from the Lord of the Yu Alliance and the letter I wrote to Yunzhuang together, so that he could also go back to Yujiazhuang first. But he just didn't want to, so he had to deliver the letter to the master himself. Now it seems that the content of this letter should be that the master of the Yu League asked the master to let Ah Fei practice martial arts with the senior brother on the mountain. ”
"It's not good, could it be that his grandfather wants the master to marry his junior sister to this kid? He lives in the mountains, in fact, the master wants to have more contact with him to see how his character is, so as to decide whether to agree to the marriage?" At this time, what Qin Zun was worried about was his marriage with Zhang Yuting, so Ah Fei's sudden arrival also made him feel that it was related to Zhang Yuting.
Thinking of this, Qin Zun sat up nervously, remembering what Ah Fei had done along the way. In Niniu Town, Ah Fei invited Zhang Yuting to eat at Chunniu Building, played with Zhang Yuting on the way to Mingzhou, and rescued Zhang Yuting...... These things were originally very common, but now they have become unusual in Qin Zun's eyes.
"Maybe Yu Wanting didn't mention it, but just begged the master to let Ah Fei follow the senior brother to practice martial arts, so that the junior sister would meet Ah Fei every day when she delivered food to the bamboo forest path. The two are already very close, and the age is not much different, so that the two will have feelings, and then propose to the master, it will be a matter of course, he is the young master of Hangzhou Yujiazhuang, the future owner of Yujiazhuang, and I am just an ordinary child, if I am the master, I will also choose him as a son-in-law. What a sinister Yu Wanting! On weekdays, he always smiles at people, but it turns out that he is a two-faced and three-stabbed person!" Qin Zun was so cranky, but he forgot that Yu Wanting didn't know that Xu Yun lived in seclusion on the bamboo forest path, and he didn't know that Zhang Yuting had to go there every day to deliver food. When he thought that Ah Fei's family was thousands of times richer than himself, he couldn't help but feel jealous, and he didn't think about whether there was anything wrong with what he was thinking.
Qin Zun was convinced in his heart that Ah Fei must have bad motives for coming to Baiyun Peak this time, and when he thought of Ah Fei, who was handsome, and Zhang Yuting, who was Chu Chu and moving, standing together like a pair of beautiful people, he couldn't help but feel hatred and couldn't sleep all night.
