Chapter 8 Dream Soul Thoughts
In order to protect Xin Yanyan, Jing Tianming did not delay at the moment and immediately took her on the road. Soon, the two of them came to the country path, and as they walked, Xin Yanyan suddenly felt a rare leisurely taste in her heart, she quietly glanced at Jing Tianming, and thought, "This is probably because of the relationship between being able to walk side by side with Brother Jing, right?" A sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
"Yan'er, what are you smirking at?" Jing Tianming asked curiously when he saw her appearance. "Nothing. I just think...... The afternoon sun is so nice. Xin Yanyan hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Brother Jing, we have come so far, you haven't told me yet, where are you going?"
"Hmm. It's time to tell you. Jing Tianming said as he walked, "I have a master who lives not far from the front, but I think he is my master, but he doesn't recognize me as his apprentice. Xin Yanyan exclaimed, "Brother Jing, your martial arts are so high, and you still have a master?" "Yan'er, what stupid things are you talking about?" Jing Tianming smiled, "Without a master, could it be that martial arts fell from the sky?" Xin Yanyan thought about it and laughed herself, "What stupid thing I said. 」
"My master, everyone calls him Caiweng. It means a vegetable seller. Jing Tianming said, "It's funny to say, although he usually grows vegetables for a living, he doesn't sell vegetables on the street. If someone wants vegetables, he can go to his field and pull them out on his own. Xin Yanyan said curiously, "How do you pick it yourself?" "Money doesn't matter. Jing Tianming shook his head, "I've lived with him for five years, and I've never seen him use his money. "It turned out to be a worldly master who advocated Taoism. Xin Yanyan clapped her hands and exclaimed.
"Not necessarily. Jing Tianming recalls one night many years ago, "Actually, the first time I met Cai Weng was not five years ago, but even earlier. At that time, I was with ...... Friend, chased by a large group of hungry wolves, almost died in the wolf's belly. There was an old man who was running alone among the wolves. The residents in the vicinity called him the Wolf God ......" Recalling the scene at that time, Jing Tianming felt a pain in his heart, and he shook his head and stopped letting the memory continue to go back, "The wolf god at that time is today's vegetable seller. 」
"Wolf God, vegetable seller?" Xin Yanyan said, "This is too bad, isn't it?Brother Jing, are you sure they are the same person?" Jing Tianming nodded, and said, "Later, I also asked the reason for the vegetable man. Cai Weng said that his martial arts, eighty percent of the ten are self-practice, because of this, in the early years of his practice, he went wrong, but there was no one around him to help, which left some symptoms, and occasionally went crazy without warning. As soon as the madness broke out, the whole person was like a wild beast, unconscious, and he was afraid that he would inadvertently injure others, so he lived alone. 」
"I see. After all, Xin Yanyan was the daughter of a martial artist, and when she heard Jing Tianming say this, she immediately yearned for it, wondering how the martial arts man known as the wolf god was so awe-inspiring? After walking for a while, a small stone house appeared in front of the two of them, which made Xin Yanyan stunned.
The small stone house did not look unusual, but it was surprising that there were hundreds of statues of women scattered all over the vegetable garden and open space outside. Those stone statues were large or small, sitting or standing, some smiling and smiling, and some with disgusting eyes...... If you look closely, you can see that they are all the same woman's face.
A tall and burly old man, standing in this strange countryside, thinks that he is the vegetable in Jing Tianming's mouth. The old man folded his hands behind his back, his expression calm and focused, and he was deep in thought on a stone that was about to rudimentary. Xin Yanyan saw it from a distance, and suddenly felt as if the color of the whole field had been siphoned off by someone, the stone house, the scattered vegetables, and the old man's messy hair and clothes on his body, everything was dusty.
Xin Yanyan rubbed her eyes, followed her sister's footsteps and meandered, through all kinds of stone houses to Cai Weng's side, but the old man was unaware, stared at the stone in front of him, occasionally reached out, and gently pushed the edge of the stone, only to see that there were stone chips scattered in his palm.
Xin Yanyan changed color in shock, and thought to herself, "What? Could it be that this old man actually carved these more than 100 stone statues with his bare hands purely with his internal strength? This kind of skill is really unseen and unheard of. He was horrified in his heart, and he heard Jing Tianming call, "Caiweng, I'm back." 」
The vegetable man only glanced at Jing Tianming, then continued to stare at the stone, and said lightly, "Young man, you have recognized the wrong person. 」
Jing Tianming smiled slightly, didn't say much, stretched out his palm and slapped it on the old man's chest. Xin Yanyan didn't expect Jing Tianming to poison his Engong, and couldn't help but exclaim. But I saw that the old man didn't even look at it, only gently raised his arm and supported it upward, and changed the offensive and defensive situation in one move. Just as he was about to hold Jing Tianming's wrist, Jing Tianming's wrist quickly flipped out of the old man's palm, and the old man immediately changed his move, flipped his palm and attacked Jing Tianming's chest; The old man had a smile on his face, his eyes were still staring at the stone, and the moves in his hands were getting faster, and the moves were all up to the point, and they changed as soon as they came out.
Xin Yanyan saw that the two of them were doing the same kung fu, but what kind of kung fu was it was to teach people to be more confused the more they looked at it. I saw that although the two of them were not moving at all, they only relied on one-handed moves, but they tended to probe and retreat like a spirit snake scurrying, and the moves were endless, it was difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction, and it was unprovoked, and dozens of moves had passed in a moment. The old man finally turned to Jing Tianming, stopped and laughed, "Stinky boy, it turned out to be you, why did your face suddenly become clean?
"Hey. Lost again. Jing Tianming smiled and stopped, "Why do you slow down a few steps every time?" "Stinky boy," Cai Weng said, "How many years have you practiced this technique? How many years have I practiced it? How can I lose to you." "Yes. "This is ......" This is the first time Jing Tianming has brought an outsider to see him in five years, Cai Weng looked at Xin Yanyan and asked suspiciously.
Xin Yanyan hurriedly shook it and said respectfully: "Senior Xin Yanyan, I have seen the old-timers. I don't know what the old-timers have to call them?"
"It turned out to be Miss Xin. The old man laughed and said, "Miss Xin doesn't need to be polite, the old name is insignificant, it doesn't make sense to say it, you can also call me a vegetable Weng." "This ......" Xin Yanyan was hesitating, only to hear Jing Tianming interject and say, "Yes! just call him a vegetable Weng!" "Why are you so rude?" Xin Yanyan pushed Jing Tianming, "This is a senior master. "He doesn't just call me a bastard. Jing Tianming replied, "Then what's wrong with me calling him Caiweng?"
"Oh my God. Xin Yanyan thought to herself when she heard this, "Could it be that in the past five years, this old and young have gotten along day and night, but they don't know each other's names at all. Is it just that the vegetable man and the bastard boy are so angry? This ...... It's a mess. Xin Yanyan was about to insist on the etiquette, but the vegetable man said, "You can sit in the two rooms." I'm going to pluck some vegetables and cook them. With that, he walked away.
"Brother Jing......" Taking advantage of Caiweng's absence, Xin Yanyan hurriedly asked, "Does Big Brother want to keep me here and be with Caiweng?" Jing Tianming nodded and said, "Yan'er, you don't need to say anything to Cai Weng, as long as you stay in the stone house, you will be absolutely safe." "Is this okay?" Xin Yanyan was a little apprehensive in her heart, and said worriedly, "I didn't ask for anyone's consent, so I ran to avoid it?" "What's that, I also ran like this five years ago." Jing Tianming said, "And I have lived there for five years, and the vegetable has never asked me why. Jing Tianming looked at the statue standing beside him and remembered the first time he came here.
It turned out that Jing Tianming came here for the first time in the dark of night five years ago, when he was so drunk as usual that he just wanted to find a place to fall. When his hand touched a boulder, he simply leaned against the uneven stone and fell asleep. This slept until noon the next day. When Jing Tianming opened his eyes in the midday sun, he gradually saw everything around him clearly...... In his drunken eyes, Jing Tianming saw more than 100 stone statues of women...... They all surrounded him with all kinds of postures and expressions, all of them were the same girl, and all of them were Gao Yue.
The emotions that had been suppressed by the alcohol finally made a loud noise like a frenzy breaking the embankment at noon that day, and collapsed in an instant.
At that moment, he seemed to remember everything, everything he had encountered and endured since he was a child, but in the next moment it became blank.
Jing Tianming slowly knelt on the ground, howling and crying, crying for a long time. And the vegetable man didn't know when, so he stood in the corner of the vegetable garden and watched him cry silently.
That year, he was twenty years old.
And now, five years have passed.
Jing Tianming touched the half-carved stone statue of Cai Weng with his hand, although the part of his face was not yet completed, he still had the appearance of Gao Yue, "It still looks like it now...... No wonder I thought it was providence that meant me to stay here. If it weren't for the providence of heaven, how could the more than 100 stone statues carved by Cai Weng follow ...... She's so similar?"
"Brother Jing, what are you thinking?" Xin Yanyan asked.
"No...... It's nothing. Let's go inside. 」
"Hmm. Although Jing Tianming did not answer his own question, Xin Yanyan sensed that Jing Tianming must be missing a woman in his heart with the unique sensitivity of a woman in love, and that woman will definitely not be herself.
The sun is slanting in the west, and the smell of cooking rice comes from the small stone house. Xin Yanyan helped the vegetable Weng Zhang Luo for dinner, and occasionally glanced at Jing Tianming, who was sitting alone next to the desk, and there was a faint taste of happiness in his heart. "Yan'er, can you trust me?" Jing Tianming suddenly said to Xin Yanyan, who was busy with everything.
Xin Yanyan didn't know why Jing Tianming suddenly had this question, and was stunned for a moment, "Brother Jing, Yan'er has saved your life many times, and the person I trust the most in the world is you." She was really quite affectionate in what she said, but Jing Tianming was thinking about other things in suspense, and she didn't realize it, she just hummed and continued: "If that's the case, I have one thing I wanted to talk to you a long time ago, but I didn't have a chance...... Xin Yanyan didn't wait for him to finish, and said, "Brother Jing, don't you want to take a look at the white fish jade pendant on my body?"
Jing Tianming nodded and said, "Yan'er, you're so smart. Before I could finish it, you already guessed. 」
"What's this?" Xin Yanyan smiled, without the slightest hesitation, she reached out and pulled out a thin rope from her neck, untied the white jade worn in the rope, and handed it into Jing Tianming's hand and said, "I expected that Brother Jing would ask this question, and I also want to know why someone keeps chasing me for this jade pendant?"
"White Fish Jade Pendant?" The two of them heard an exclamation, accompanied by a clanging sound, but the soup pot in Caiweng's hand fell to the ground. Cai Weng walked slowly with shaking hands, staring at the jade pendant in Jing Tianming's hand, which looked like an ordinary old man, "You guys...... This thing...... Why do you have this thing?" Cai Weng looked at it for a long time, his eyes finally left the jade pendant, and he muttered to the two of them.
"This ...... This jade pendant was given to me by my father. Xin Yanyan said.
"Your father...... White Fish Jade Pendant...... The ...... surnamed Xin" Caiweng's shoulders shook slightly, and he said to Xin Yanyan, "In this way, your father is the Xin Qujie of the Bagua Sect. Cai Weng's words frightened Jing Tianming and Xin Yanyan stupidly at the same time, and the two looked at each other, not knowing how the old man in front of him guessed Xin Yanyan's origin. Especially Jing Tianming, he has lived with Cai Weng for a long time, and has never seen people in and out of the rivers and lakes here, and he has always thought that Cai Weng does not care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, how do you know that he is not only clear, but also recognizes this white fish jade pendant?
"Cai Weng, do you know this white fish jade pendant?" Jing Tianming handed over the white fish jade pendant and asked hopefully, "Do you know whose jade pendant this jade pendant belongs to?"
"I know, I don't just know. How many years...... How many years has it been?" Cai Weng held the white fish jade pendant in his hand, and said with a confused expression, "A long, long time ago, I also had one. These five jade pendants were originally our Ma family's things. 」
"The Ma family's things ......," Jing Tianming listened and lowered his head in thought.
"There are actually as many as five white fish jade pendants!" Xin Yanyan never knew that there was more than one piece of white jade, and she couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, but she heard Jing Tianming ask in a trembling voice, "Cai Weng...... You...... Who are you, Ma Shaohuan, one of the two heroes of Yingchuan?"
"What Yingchuan Shuangxia, Ma Shaohuan?" Cai Weng shook his head and said, "I don't know. 」
"Then I'll ask. Jing Tianming vaguely felt that he was about to discover a secret truth, and he tried to calm himself down: "Cai Weng, what is your name?"
The old man raised his eyes to look at Jing Tianming, as if he heard something from a long distance, revealing a look that he was trying to recognize, then took a few steps back, sat down in a slump and said in a dumb voice, "My name is Ma Liang. 」
"Ma Liang. This time, Xin Yanyan shook her head, "I've never heard of such a person. 」
"Ma Liang, Ma Liang?" Jing Tianming read Cai Weng's name in his mouth several times, and quickly recalled in his mind, "I've heard this name. Where have you heard of ......it? Ma Shaohuan...... Ma Shui is close to ......" So Jing Tianming remembered that at the banquet where Bai Qianhong was invited to Guiling City, Gao Shiran and Chun Lao had mentioned this name...... "I see, Cai Weng, you are Ma Liang!
"I'm Ma Shuijin's son, yes. Cai Weng nodded, "I didn't expect that the boy was so young, and he still knew the name of the Ten Thousand Gullies Linyuan Ma Shui. 」
"Caiweng, no, old Ma senior......" Xin Yanyan changed his words, "Since you said that this white fish jade pendant is your Ma family's thing, and you know your father, can you explain the origin of this jade pendant for us?" Xin Yanyan's question had always troubled Jing Tianming, and he immediately listened carefully and attentively to the old man's words.
Ma Liang lifted the white fish jade pendant and said slowly, "There are no such five jade pendants in the world, they were created by my father. Ma Liang is now in his eighties, and it is really like a world away when he mentions the past decades ago, "Do the math, it should have been more than sixty years ago. I was just a fifteen-year-old boy at the time. On that day, Feng Puzi, the head of the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital, came to my Majiabao. At that time, I looked at that Feng Puzi, and I only thought that he was so old, but I really didn't expect that one day, when I mentioned this matter again, I myself would be so old and so old. Ma Liang hadn't said so many words at one time for a long time, and it was inevitable that the narration would be indistinct, "That Feng Puzi said to my father, I hope my father can help him keep one thing and never be discovered. My dad agreed. 」
"What is so important?" Xin Yanyan interjected, "I don't want people to see it, so why not destroy it?"
"Later, after Feng Puzi left, I also asked my father like this. Ma Liang recalled the scene at that time, "My father only told me that there are some things that should not appear in this world, but they have appeared again. Since this kind of thing that is taboo to gods and ghosts and is not tolerated by the world has appeared, it can be said to be some kind of fate. And the number of lives is something that is difficult to change by manpower. 」
"Old ...... Cai Weng," Jing Tianming wanted to change his words like Xin Yanyan, but he didn't expect it to be so unpleasant, so he simply called him Cai Weng, "What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand!"
"To put it simply," Ma Liang looked at Jing Tianming with a sympathetic gaze, explaining, "It's an amazing thing created by that Yin-Yang Sect Grandmaster Feng Puzi. But what it is, my father refuses to say, only that the content contained in it is taboo and should not appear in this world. But he couldn't bear to destroy it, so he left it with my father. 」
"What does this have to do with the White Fish Jade Pendant?" Xin Yanyan asked.
"It's a big deal, these five jade pendants are the key to open that thing. 」
"The white fish jade pendant is the key?" Jing Tianming and Xin Yanyan said in unison. Ma Liang nodded, "In order to keep that thing, my father specially invited the descendants of the divine craftsman Lu Ban to create a plum blossom black box. Hide that thing in the black box, and these five white fish jade pendants are the keys to open the black box. None of them can be opened. 」
"So troublesome?" Jing Tianming said, "It's just a wooden box, wouldn't it be okay to break it or cut it open?" "Hun boy, I said that you usually have a good understanding, why are you a little absent-minded today?" Ma Liang said, "The person who should be absent-minded should be me." I said that the wooden box was made by Lu Ban's descendants, and of course there was a mechanism in it. If anyone wants to open the wooden box without a key, there is acid water hidden in the middle layer of the box, and the acid water will overflow, and the two bamboo slips inside will be destroyed?"
"There are only two bamboo slips in the plum blossom black box?" Jing Tianming's eyes widened, and he said, "You didn't tell me that there were only two bamboo slips in it. "Didn't I say it?" Ma Liang's eyes widened, "Since you know that I didn't say it, why don't you remind me of it." "I don't know what you said or didn't say, how can I remind you? I thought the box was so big. "When did I mention the big box? It's not a food ......?"
"Alright, alright!" Xin Yanyan stopped the two of them a little angrily, "Brother Jing, you are really weird today, is this the time to quarrel with the old-timers?" Jing Tianming knew that he was wrong, so he shut up.
"Senior, why are there only two bamboo slips in that wooden box?" Xin Yanyanfu asked again.
"That's where Feng Puzi is smart. Ma Liang continued, "I heard that his share was written on a total of 100 bamboo slips. He personally sent the last two pieces, that is, the most important ones, to Majiabao and handed them over to my father to take care of. As for the ninety-eight pieces in front, they were handed over to my father's nemesis at the time, who was also a well-known martial arts family, and Xu Rang kept them. 」
"It's so smart, the things are divided into two parts, and they are entrusted to the two evil martial arts families. Xin Yanyan exclaimed, "In this way, it is really difficult to collect a hundred bamboo slips. 」
Ma Liang ignored Xin Yanyan's words, and just continued, "As for the five pieces of jade pendant. My father once said that in the future, someone will do everything possible to rob him. Therefore, he wanted to scatter all the jade pendants and entrust them to his friends one by one for safekeeping. Ma Liang turned his head to Xin Yanyan and said, "I know that one of them was handed over to Xin Qujie of the Bagua Gate, and I think it is this piece on you. Then he turned to Jing Tianming and said, "Originally, my father also gave me one of them, but when I left home that year, it was purely a temporary intention, and I didn't wear the jade with me at all. As for the remaining three jade pendants, I guess my father may have given them to someone else one by one, but since I have left home, I don't know who I gave them to. Alas, anyway, the original intention of Feng Puzi and my father was that I didn't want anyone to open the wooden box and find the two bamboo slips. Now these five jade pendants and a confused account have fulfilled the wishes of the two of them. 」
"Senior, you are not only from a martial arts family, but also the son of a dignified Ma Shui near hero, why did you run away from home in the first place?" Xin Yanyan asked tentatively.
"I know that. Jing Tianming touched his nose and smiled, "That's because Cai Weng lost to Chun Lao in a fight, and in a fit of anger, he felt that he had no face to go home." 」
"Nonsense. Ma Liang blew his beard and glared, "When have I ever lost a fight?" This is what Chun Lao Yuran said personally. "Nonsense. 」
Xin Yanyan saw that the old man and the young were about to fight again, so she hurriedly said, "That old man, why did you leave home? 」
"Well...... Ma Liang pinched the white jade and got up slowly, remembering that he had left home when he was young, he unconsciously walked to the door and looked at the stone sculptures in the garden, and continued: "In those years, my father was passing on his set of Nine Spirits True Palms to me and my junior sister one by one, I have just learned a full set of palm moves, but the mystery in the palm technique has not yet been able to understand Sancheng, my junior sister is worse than me, but she has a big temper, and every time she does not practice well in the palm technique, she always loves to look for bad luck. Ma Liang couldn't help but smile when he said this, falling into memory, and his voice was gentle: "But I just like the way she deliberately makes trouble for me. We were really in love, and it didn't take long for my father to send a matchmaker to her house to propose marriage, intending to marry her and let her lose her temper with me every day. 」
Jing Tianming and Xin Yanyan could hear it, but seeing that the various expressions of the more than 100 stone carved women were in the afterglow of the sunset, as if they could speak out at any time, Xin Yanyan said softly: "That bride must be the girl in front of us. 」
Who knew that Ma Liang shook his head, and said with a smile: "The matchmaker doesn't know if he didn't listen well, or if he said the wrong thing, in short, it wasn't her who sent the sedan chair; Hehehehe, ridiculous, ridiculous. Although Ma Liang was talking and laughing, his expression was both indignant and sad, which was very different from his usual appearance, and he was obviously not able to let go of the old things.
When Jing Tianming heard this, he realized that there was a blood relationship between this stone carving woman and Gao Yue, no wonder the two looked so similar. Ma Liang continued: "Both of us are angry and helpless about this matter, but since the bride has already been married, how can there be any reason to return? I thought to myself, no matter what, we always have to be together. Who knows that she actually rejected me, and I don't know if she is in the way of her sister, or if she is unwilling to be a concubine, or just angry with me? In fact, how can I be blamed for this? She is angry, and I am even more angry than her. I was angry that she gave up the opportunity for the two of us to stay together for the rest of my life, and since then I have come home every day to see her sister, but I only think of her in my heart, and I am not happy day by day. On that day, the man named Yu Ran came to my Majiabao to challenge, and I defeated him casually. After that, I went out for a walk, but before I knew it, I went farther and farther, and I went farther and farther. I thought to myself, I don't know how far a person can go if he walks like this? 」
Ma Liang told the story of the past, and the old dreams were like weaving, and he felt deeply. The Xin Yanyan was also stunned when she heard it, so she said, "Senior, since this jade pendant is your family's thing, there is such a sad ...... Touching past, I think today let this jade pendant return to its original owner. 」
Ma Liang heard Xin Yanyan say this, looked down at the piece of white jade in his hand, but shook his head and said, "What I Ma Liang care about is this piece of white jade, Miss Xin, since your father entrusted this white jade to you, and it has nothing to do with me, you should take it yourself." As he spoke, he returned the white fish jade pendant to Xin Yanyan. Xin Yanyan took the jade pendant, secretly looked at Jing Tianming, and thought to herself: "I only hope for my fate with Brother Jing, don't be like the old man Ma and the stone carved woman. Since Ma Liang recognized the white fish jade pendant, Jing Tianming's various expressions, expressions, and speeches have become more and more strange, and Xin Yanyan looked at her eldest brother Jing worriedly, only afraid that she would be separated from him.
Sure enough, Jing Tianming broke the silence and said, "Wait. There is one more thing that has not been figured out. Ma Liang had already planned to cook dinner again, but when he heard Jing Tianming call out again, he said a little impatiently, "What's the matter? 」
"Since you are the son of Ma Shuijin. Jing Tianming asked Ma Liang in a heartfelt manner, "That's Ma Shaohuan's father." How can you bear to let go of your daughter and leave it alone for decades?"
"How can I have any daughter?" Ma Liang said, "What Ma Shaohuan? I have already said that I don't know. Boy, you must be mistaken. 」
"How could I be mistaken!" Jing Tianming almost roared, "Your daughter is Ma Shaohuan Heroine, she and her husband Gao Shiran are called Yingchuan Shuangxia in the rivers and lakes. 」
"Decades ago, I didn't say goodbye and never came home, how can I have a daughter?"
"You have. You have it. Jing Tianming said eagerly, "I can't be mistaken. I think 80% of the time you left home, your wife was pregnant. You just don't know. "This ......" Ma Liang saw that Jing Tianming was so sure, so he asked rhetorically, "There is indeed such a possibility. It's just that I don't even know about this, how do you know about it, hun boy?" Xin Yanyan also nodded, looked at Jing Tianming, as if asking him with his eyes, "How do you know this, and what does it have to do with you?"
Jing Tianming had no choice but to say, "Because...... Because that Ma Shaohuan later also had a daughter named ...... is called Gao Yue, she is your granddaughter, and this Gao Yue, she is...... Growing up with me since I was a child, she also has a white fish jade pendant on her body, which is the best proof. So Jing Tianming told how Gao Yue was taken away by the enemy Xu Rang in infancy and became a little beggar with no father and mother, how he met him, how he learned about his life experience because of the white fish jade pendant, and how he later told all about the various implications between the jade pendant and Ma Shaohuan and Ziyu.
After saying this, Ma Liang and Xin Yanyan were both stupid. The more Xin Yanyan listened to Jing Tianming, the heavier her mood became. She watched Jing Tianming every time she mentioned the word Gao Yue, her eyes would suddenly come alive or dim, and now she knew who was entrenched in her eldest brother Jing's heart, but Ma Liang's feelings were different, her daughter and granddaughter who had never seen her jumped out of the mouth of the boy alive, and she encountered so many dangers and was bullied by so many people...... Ma Liang jumped up suddenly, "Hun boy, you just said that my granddaughter also has a white fish jade pendant on her, isn't it?" Ma Liang didn't wait for Jing Tianming to reply, then turned his head and asked Xin Yanyan, "You said that you were chased and killed because you had this jade pendant on your body?!" Xin Yanyan nodded.
"Alas!" Ma Liang stomped his feet and sighed, "Muddy boy, why didn't you say it earlier? In this way, my granddaughter is in danger, and I have to go to her." With that, he rushed out of the small stone house like a gust of wind.
"This ......," Xin Yanyan sneered, "Is the old man really in a hurry? He has never seen his granddaughter, can he find it like this?"
"I can find it. Jing Tianming replied casually, "Gao Yue looks very similar to the stone carved woman outside, and when Cai Weng sees it, he will recognize it at a glance." "Really?" Xin Yanyan said sadly, "It turns out that Gao Yue looks a lot like the statue outside?" Jing Tianming didn't answer, just nodded blankly.
"That's right, that's right," Suddenly, Jing Tianming also slammed to his feet like Ma Liang, because everything was finally strung together in his heart. Jing Tianming thought, "I just feel that something is wrong! there is something that has always worried me and feared, it turns out, it turns out that this is the case, since Gao Yue also has a white fish jade pendant on his body, then he will inevitably be hunted down by the Ghost Valley. Didn't Wei Zhuang tell me at that time? Didn't he ask me to learn the last three forms of the hundred-step flying sword so that I ......could protect Gao Yue? I...... I've been desperately trying to forget about her, so that I can figure it out until today. 」
Xin Yanyan saw Jing Tianming suddenly stand up, his eyes were dilated, and he was stunned, so he stood up worriedly, "Brother Jing, what's wrong with you?"
"I...... I ......" Jing Tianming woke up from a dream and shouted, "I can't stay here any longer. I'm going to save Gao Yue. She's in danger. She needs me, and I'm going to save Gao Yue. Jing Tianming shouted, and wanted to rush out. At this moment, Xin Yanyan waved out his right hand and slapped Jing Tianming fiercely.
"Smack!" The slap made a crisp sound on Jing Tianming's face, and Xin Yanyan said with tears in her eyes, "Brother Jing, wake up. You can't go!"
"Why can't I go?" Jing Tianming asked anxiously.
"Have you forgotten? You just gathered the heroes of the martial arts yesterday to rescue the Confucian children. Xin Yanyan couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and said solemnly: "Could it be that you are going to repeat the mistakes of eight years ago?
"Yes. That's right. I can't go right now. Jing Tianming came to his senses and remembered that there were thousands of people still waiting to be rescued by himself, "It's me who is not good. I'm going to save Liu Bi and them. Jing Tianming took a deep breath, "Thank you for reminding me. Yan'er, you're so nice. Especially this slap is better. Facing Xin Yanyan instead of Gao Yue, Jing Tianming suddenly became sharp, and he smiled happily, "What's the matter, does your hand hurt?" Xin Yanyan didn't answer. She knew in her heart that Jing Tianming had completely messed up, in fact, since Ma Liang mentioned the origin of the jade pendant, her eldest brother Jing had only Gao Yue in his mind, "If it weren't for that...... If not...... How can I beat Brother Zhongjing?" Xin Yanyan lowered her head and stared at her right hand, and her tears couldn't help but slide down after all.
Ma Liang had already run away without a trace, and Jing Tianming had to guard Xin Yanyan and wait in Xianyang City day and night. The day before the execution, the beggar Zhao Laosan finally came with the news that the Four Great Sects and the Mo family had arrived. "Your Senior Brother Lu and they are in front," Jing Tianming came to the vicinity with Xin Yanyan and said, "You go now, I still have a little more to prepare first." Xin Yanyan was willing to be separated from Jing Tianming like this, and was just about to say, "I ......" when she heard Lu Yuanding's voice: "Little junior sister?!"
"Is it a little junior sister?!" Lu Yuanding stood on the street, saw Xin Yanyan from a distance, was overjoyed, and hurriedly called Ben. Jing Tianming didn't wait for Lu Yuanding to run in front of Xin Yanyan, and he had already disappeared from sight. He turned two corners and climbed onto the roof, sneaked back quietly, and peeked from a distance on the roof tiles, only to see Zhu Qi enthusiastically hugging Xin Yanyan. The rest of the heads of the four major martial arts sects, Zhao Nanyang and Xiao Xingdu, also arrived. There were also Ma Shaohuan and Ziyu, but they didn't see Shao Guangqing. The big man standing behind Fang Geng, the giant son of the Mo family, is his brother Hua Shengjiang. And a gray-haired old man standing near Hua Shengjiang is his master Gai Nie.
In fact, Jing Tianming had already expected to see these people today, but out of instinct, he still wanted to delay the moment of meeting them, "Hey, we will meet tomorrow anyway. Jing Tianming glanced at Gai Nie again, "Master, his old man's hair is much whiter, after all, eight years have passed. The body seems to be very strong. That's it. Then he quietly retreated and climbed off the roof.
On the other hand, after everyone had finished greetings, they naturally asked Xin Yanyan about the situation after she was robbed by Na Yue Gao in the small stone house that day. Xin Yanyan naturally replied one by one. When Zhu Qi heard that Yue Gao was recklessly taking Xin Yanyan away in order to save everyone's lives, he smiled and said to Lu Yuanding: "Master Lu, I'll just say it, that Brother Yue saved our ten lives, he is by no means a bad person, my old Zhu's vision will not be wrong!" Everyone looked at each other a few times, and they were all amused in their hearts. Although Zhu Qi is hot-blooded, his thoughts have never been thoughtful enough, although he said so, but everyone knows that he looks at people quite often.
Lu Yuanding smiled: "Anyway, little junior sister, it's okay if you're fine. 」
"It seems that the young man named Yue Gao is a chivalrous man," Zhao Nanyang muttered beside him, "But I heard that he has also learned that Miss Xin has a white fish jade pendant on her body, Miss Xin, I advise you to be careful in everything. 」
Fang Gengxian listened and faintly agreed: "Yes, Miss Xin, the hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes are unpredictable, no matter who the other party is, you have to guard against it. 」
Xin Yanyan nodded and replied, "Master Zhao, Fang Dajuzi, please rest assured, the junior has been with that Yue Gao for two months, if he really has a plan, he will do it a long time ago. This white fish jade pendant is still on my body now, Yue Gao has no bad intentions, he originally planned to send me back to the Bagua Gate, but on the way I heard about the Confucian disciples, so he also came to Xianyang City to save people. 」
"Good man!" General Hua Sheng cheered and said, "This Yue Gao really sounds like a character, since he has also come to Xianyang, I will definitely have a good friendship with him!" Xin Yanyan noticed that the dark-skinned man in front of him was the "Hua Sheng General" himself, and immediately tried to hold back his laughter.
"It sounds like this, this Yue Gao's martial arts are very good. There has never been such a number one person on the rivers and lakes. I'm afraid it's a pseudonym. Zhao Nanyang opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Xin has been with him for a long time, I don't know if she knows where she came from?"
"This ......" Xin Yanyan was a little hesitant when she heard Zhao Nanyang ask, but then remembered that Jing Tianming said that he would never change his name or surname from now on, so he looked at everyone present one by one, and said with a straight face: "As Zhao Daxia said, this Yue Gao is actually not called Yue Gao. To tell you the truth, this chivalrous man who first saved the lives of ten of us in the stone house, and now brings me to Xianyang to save the Confucian people, is your old acquaintance, Jing Tianming. 」
"What did you say?" Gai Nie raised his eyes to stare at Xin Yanyan and asked in a trembling voice, "Yes...... Tianming?"
"Yes. Xin Yanyan knew at this time that Gai Nie was Jing Tianming's mentor, so she said respectfully: "This person who has been doing chivalrous deeds everywhere for eight years is Jing Tianming. 」
"What! is Jing Tianming!?......" Zhu Qi was beside him, but he was speechless. It turned out that in the past eight years, whenever Zhu Qi mentioned Jing Tianming's name to him, he would angrily reprimand: "Don't mention these three words to me!" At this time, when he heard that Yue Gao who saved his life turned out to be Jing Tianming, he couldn't help but widen his bull's eyes. The level in my heart couldn't be passed for a while, but I praised Yue Gao everywhere, and suddenly "this...... That...... How to ......" words can't be said completely for a long time.
"It's Tianming!" General Hua Sheng and Fang Gengxian glanced at each other, especially General Hua Sheng's surprise was overflowing, "He's not dead? he's still alive? he's still doing chivalrous deeds everywhere?good, good!hahaha!" He originally didn't understand Jing Tianming's act of opening the city gate without permission, but eight years have passed, and his personality is already rough, and when he heard that his brother is not dead, and he is doing good everywhere, he simply laughs from ear to ear. Fang Geng's personality is not like this, although he doesn't hold a grudge against Jing Tianming, he can't trust a person to change his way and do good deeds so easily, he just bows his head and is silent at the moment. And Ma Shaohuan, who was present, simply rebuked with disdain. Xin Yanyan looked at Ma Shaohuan and asked, "Who is this ......?"
Only then did Lu Yuanding remember that he was overjoyed, and he lost his manners, and missed a few people who did not introduce Xin Yanyan. Xin Yanyan had heard the story between Ma Shaohuan, Ziyu and Gao Yue before, and she had no good impression for a long time, but when she knew that she was Ma Woman, her face was faint. Especially when he saw that Ziyu was also present, he was even more vigilant in his heart; according to what Jing Tianming said, this Ziyu was clearly the spy of the girl in the Guigu Valley back then, and now she has become the wife of the Confucian master, which shows that her true identity has never been exposed. Xin Yanyan thought that she also had a piece of white jade on her body, and couldn't help but look at the purple language a few more times, and secretly became vigilant.
Zhao Nanyang saw that there were several people present who looked overjoyed, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that Jing Tianming has changed his ways. Although it is good, but I think that back then, he was also a good boy who knew the general situation, brave and capable of martial arts, but for some reason he turned against the Qin army when he was in battle, but this trip was against the Qin soldiers, alas, I am afraid that the old things will happen again. 」
Gai Nie glanced at Zhao Nanyang from the side, and opened his mouth to say something, but finally didn't speak. Zi Yu is now the wife of a dignified Confucian teacher, and when she heard that Zhao Nanyang's words were provocative, she also added fuel to the fire: "Master Zhao, listen to what you mean, but that Jing Tianming seems to be unwilling to go against King Qin?"
Zhao Nanyang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "It's just because I can't figure out what he did back then, so I guessed like this, and seeing that everyone is so happy, I'm really afraid that you will be disappointed again, so I can't help but remind you." 」
General Hua Sheng smiled, "Master Zhao, you are thinking too much. Tianming is the son of the warrior Jing Ke, and the king of Qin is his father-killing enemy, so what can't he do against him?"
"That's right!" Xin Yanyan immediately echoed, "I don't care what happened in the past! In short, Brother Jing has proven that he is a benevolent and righteous hero today, what else do you have to doubt? You say yes? Uncle Zhu?"
Zhu Qi sighed, looked left and right, cleared his throat and said loudly, "Eh! That's right...... My old Zhu won't be wrong!"
Zhao Nanyang looked at Fang Gengxian and Hua Shengjun, still trying to provoke, nodded and said: "Fang Dajuzi and Hua Shaoxia are really elegant, Jing Tianming helped the Qin soldiers to attack the city, causing the Mo family Juzi Lu Zhulang to kill himself according to the agreement, although it has been eight years since this matter, but Zhao still feels indignant every time he thinks about it, I didn't expect the two of them to be so ignorant of the past suspicions, Zhao really admires and admires. 」
Hua Shengjiang was speechless when he said this, but Fang Gengtear pulled the corners of his mouth, picked up the teacup and drank a few sips slowly, and replied: "The two countries have been fighting for many years, and everything is complicated, how can a mere young man decide victory or defeat? Although Jing Tianming should not have defected to the battlefield, but the head of Zhao Fang couldn't help but take Jing Tianming too seriously. 」
Ma Shaohuan sat on the side with a sullen face, and then suddenly said coldly: "Master Zhao is just a good intention, I want to remind us that Jing Tianming may not appear tomorrow, so don't be too happy. Gao Shiran died in Guiling eight years ago, and although she hated Qin Bing, she hated Jing Tianming even more. After Ma Shaohuan said this, everyone fell silent, and Xin Yanyan couldn't help but speak, "No! Brother Jing has specially invited a few helpers for this matter, he will definitely appear!" Although Xin Yanyan said this, she was really worried in her heart, "I'm afraid that if Brother Jing learns about Gao Yue's news at this time, will he leave us and rush there immediately?"
Lu Yuanding saw that Xin Yanyan was so protective of Jing Tianming, and the intimacy when he mentioned Jing Tianming was even more overflowing, and his heart was already full of jealousy, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zhangmen and Ma Nuxia said very much, since they were traitors and traitors, this person is gullible. 」
Gai Nie sat among the crowd and ate bread and drank tea, never saying a word, when he suddenly put down the teacup and stood up. Everyone immediately closed their mouths, and suddenly realized that in front of Jing Tianming's master, no one was qualified to comment on Jing Tianming's good or bad. But Gagne didn't say much, he just said, "It's getting late. Everyone is still recuperating, and we will set off tomorrow to save people. 」
