More than half a year has passed, and Feng Mu, the mental formula of the "Eight Methods of Tianyan", has also memorized it in his heart, and if there is anything he doesn't understand, Wang Yangming has also explained it to him clearly.

It's late autumn again, and the dead leaves on the branches of the trees have begun to fall, and the shadows of the chilling cicadas have long since disappeared.

It hadn't rained for ten days, and the weather was exceptionally clear.

Xiao Qi'er finally waited for Feng Mu to be free, during this time, she couldn't find a playmate, and accompanied her master to learn those ancient Chinese poems, and there was an indescribable boredom in her heart, but whenever he saw Brother Mu who was meditating, he would worry about him from a distance.

Several times, she wanted to step forward to comfort the anxious Mu brother, but as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by the master, who made a boo gesture, signaling her not to disturb Feng Mu.

Xiao Qi'er nodded very sensibly, and put down the pear in her hand, she waited for several hours, while Feng Mu just sat in the courtyard in a daze, like a statue, Xiao Qi'er watched from the side, and unconsciously finished eating the pear.

She was annoyed by this, obviously she was going to leave it for Brother Mu, but she ate it secretly. She wanted to make up for it, so she went to the kitchen to find snacks, and after dinner, sent them to Feng Mu's room.

However, she was stopped outside the door, she knocked on the door outside, Feng Mu just answered in the room, saying that he was busy with cultivation, and asked her to talk to other people, Xiao Qi'er said that she had brought him snacks, worried that he would be hungry at night. Feng Mu said in the house that he was not hungry and left it for her to eat.

After Xiao Qi'er left aggrievedly, she returned to the room, and it happened that the master came to visit her, so she asked, "Uncle Lu, do you say that cultivating martial arts is very important? ”

Wang Yangming's staff officer, Master Lu, stroked Xiao Qi'er's head, and said leisurely: "Martial arts are sometimes more important than life for people in the rivers and lakes. ”

Xiao Qi'er showed a blank expression, looked at Master Lu incredulously, and asked: "Is there really such a thing, I don't know any martial arts, don't I still live well?" In my opinion, martial arts is something that should not exist, it exists in this world, people keep fighting, if everyone doesn't understand martial arts, everyone can't live in peace." ”

Master Lu laughed and said: "What you little Nizi said is really interesting, you are still too young to understand the rules of survival in this world, from ancient times to the present, the weak eat the strong, if the human race is too weak, it will be devoured by wild beasts, on the contrary, once people become strong and live above all things, they will kill each other, this is the inferior root of all living things, and there will be scramble to kill if there is a profit." ”

Little Finch seemed to understand, shook her head and said, "I really wish I lived in a peaceful and peaceful world, where everyone could get along well. ”

An old man and a young man were talking in the room, and on the roof, five or six feet away from their room, two men in night clothes were lying motionless, as if listening to the sounds of the room below.

Master Lu didn't continue to talk to Xiao Qi'er, let the little girl go to bed early, and don't go out of the room casually no matter what sound she hears, because I heard that a ghost mother-in-law who specializes in eating children has appeared recently, and as long as the child who is disobedient and runs around will be arrested.

The little finch was so frightened that she trembled all over, and almost cried, if it weren't for Master Lu saying that he would send someone to protect her, the little girl probably wouldn't dare to sleep alone.

Master Lu walked through the corridor, went straight to the courtyard, looked up at the two men in black, and the two of them also slowly raised their heads and looked at him.

As if in a flash of inspiration, the two black-clothed men disappeared on the roof, reappeared and knelt down in front of the master, and said in a respectful voice: "I don't know that the seniors are here, I am very disturbed, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Master Lu smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said: "It's not strange or strange, you are also following orders, what kind of people are you, and what are you doing here to find out the news, could it be that you colluded with bandits?"

One of the two black-clothed men kneeling on the ground hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, seniors, we have never colluded with bandits, and we are not here to listen to military secrets, but for, for ......"

He couldn't go on when he said this, as if someone had stuffed an egg in his throat, and the words that made him say it were swallowed back raw, as if there was something unspeakable.

Master Lu shook his head slightly, and said, "Since it is inconvenient for you to say, then it is inconvenient for me to ask more, you can go, and I will not spare you if you are bumped into again." ”

The two black-clothed men hurriedly stood up, and looked respectful to this seemingly weak master, as if he was a god of the Nine Heavens, and the slightest disrespect would be punished by heaven.

The master shook the feather fan lightly, and the two men in black just wanted to turn around and go up to the wall slightly, but they saw his left hand popping out of the long sleeve slightly, and the two black-clothed men had already been hit by a small pebble on their backs, fell to the ground, and twitched all over, like lambs to the slaughter, frightened, but they didn't dare to be angry.

Master Lu slowly walked in front of them and said, "I suddenly remembered that you haven't answered me yet, which faction you are, so who do I ask when you leave like this?"

"Back to the predecessors, we are from the Hengshan faction, this time we are neither to listen to the news, nor to steal treasures, just to find a child, there is nothing else, beg the seniors to let me go. ”

Listening to the words of the man in black, Master Lu shook his head and said, "You two juniors are so rude, aren't you deceiving me to be dizzy?

After being exposed by Master Lu's lie, the two black-clothed men who fell to the ground suddenly shot out like lightning, only to see two black shadows flying towards Master Lu's face door at an extremely fast speed, drawing two straight tracks in the night sky.

Master Lu seemed to be nailed to the spot, and his body did not move in the slightest, as if he was waiting to be hit by those two darts in front of the door, and his head was bleeding.

However, his feather fan appeared in front of him at some point, the fragile feather fan, just a flick of the two extremely fast darts fanned back, the darts were inserted into the legs of the two men in black, they wanted to scream, but they were afraid of attracting more people, so they endured, just humming and chirping.

"Go back and tell your pavilion master, let him not have any bad ideas, whether it is Wang Boan or that child, they are the people I want to protect, if he still insists on going his own way, Lu Qiuli is willing to accompany him to the end. ”

The two men in black stood up with difficulty, shook Master Lu again, clenched their teeth, ignored the pain in their legs, turned over and jumped onto the wall, and disappeared into the night sky in a blink of an eye.

When Master Lu saw the two of them go away, he turned around to go back to the room to rest, but he happened to bump into Wang Yangming, only to hear Wang Yangming sigh and say: "You have been incognito for nearly twenty years, why do you want to expose it for a child?"

Master Lu laughed and said: "Do it recklessly, how can there be so many whys, but there is no return to the heart." ”

"I really didn't expect that you would help the third brother's heir, although you didn't say it, but I know that you have been seriously injured by the third brother several times, and you almost put him to death. I'm really worried that you killed that child. Wang Yangming said calmly.

Lu Qiuli said indifferently: "You still know in the end, I can't hide anything from you." However, the grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with the child, I see that the kid still has some qualifications, and I don't want him to be damaged too soon. ”
