After the festivities, everything is dull. There are always Qiu Chuji's sincere words lingering in his ears, Ren Tianqi is very irritable, and he must make a decision in this life. Everyone was inconvenient to disturb, and they were all silent on the side, but Tian Muzuo did not leave an inch, nor did he speak, doing his duty as a disciple. At this time, Ren Tianqi took a few people to watch the village Ding and the five hundred soldiers train, and felt very bored, so he went out of the city and walked. Looking at the green fields on both sides of the road, I was so happy that I couldn't help but beat my horse and gallop, and let the horse run freely. The breeze is a little chilly, but it is as comfortable as the autumn breeze, but you can also smell the freshness of the earth for another year. Ren Tianqi's heart is like the crops in this field, full of pride. Ren Tianqi longs to make achievements and make a difference like in the Black Water Desert, and washes away the depression and frustration of these years, but he is very worried about what kind of small abacus this small court of the Song family has behind it, and he is worried about the safety of thousands of people in the upper and lower villages of the Ren family, and he is in a dilemma.

is wandering out of thin air, when the thoughts are continuous, look at it, you can see the very familiar in front of you, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the green bamboo that can not see the end is gently swaying in the wind, like the bamboo sea waves rolling, and it is actually next to the Maohua Teahouse. Ren Tianqi pulled the reins and stopped the horse. Everyone who accompanied him immediately lived. Ren Tianqi said, "Master, go down and take a look, you just wait here." Then he turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

Let the people follow.

Tian Muzuo stretched out his hand to stop everyone, and one person followed.

Ren Tianqi glanced back at his subordinates, raised his hand and threw the spotted bamboo sword to Tian Muzuo, turned around and walked on the path between the bamboo forests with his hands behind his back.

It can be seen that the path is much wider and cleaner than before, which shows that there are many people during this time. The grass and trees on both sides of the road are thick, the flowers are red and the grass is green, and the bees are dancing. Looking up and hiding in the scorching sun, hidden in the bamboo branches, the sun is shining, shining on the body infinitely warm, very comfortable. The bamboo forest is peaceful and empty.

Ren Tianqi turned the intersection and came to the place where the small bridge flowed, and saw two white horses tied to the bridge, eating grass leisurely; in his 140s, a white-faced man in green clothes was lying on the grass, with one leg crossed, and his head resting his arms were closing his eyes and recuperating there. Rather unkindly, the man had a long sword stuck in the ground in front of him.

Ren Tianqi smiled and said in his heart: Okay, there are more distinguished guests in the teahouse today, and Brother Chu has a reputation for coming here for a few months, but I am very busy, I have never been here more, and I am more unfamiliar.

Ren Tianqi sped up his pace. The sound of footsteps startled the half-asleep man on the ground. The man got up and opened his eyes. Ren Tianqi hurriedly bowed, and the man also raised his hand to salute, and then lay down to make his spring dream.

After crossing the bamboo bridge, you can go up to the corridor.

The covered bridge bent, and when I looked up, I saw that Chu Yun was already floating at the door to greet him, still dressed in a white shirt, elegant and free, spotless.

When Ren Tianqi came in with Chu Yun, he saw a young man on the ground, with his hair tied up, dressed in a yellow shirt, with a tall figure, sitting on the ground, holding a son in his hand, stretching his neck to stare at the chess game above the bamboo collapse, and did not pay attention to this side. Everything in the hall was the same, except that there was an extra mat on the ground, as if it had been prepared by knowing that Ren Tianqi was coming, but the difference was that in the man's hand, where he could reach out, there was a long thing wrapped in red cloth, and he could see that it should be a long sword.

Chu Yun is an idle person who has taken off the dust and gone to the world, and Ren Tianqi is an arrogant and self-disciplined person, so he glanced at the package and didn't care too much.

The two sat down on the ground by the bamboo collapse. A child came over with a cup of fragrant tea.

Ren Tianqi lowered his head and took a sip, which was mellow and delicious jasmine tea. Ren Tianqi hurriedly raised his head and smiled at Chu Yunwan. Chu Yun nodded, stretched out his hand and asked Ren Tianqi to be casual, natural and beautiful.

Ren Tianqi thought that there seemed to be no one in the world who was so free and easy like Chu Yun.

Ren Tianqi put the teacup on the ground and stretched his neck to look at the chess game. Chu Yun Zhibai had already controlled almost half of the situation, and the young man was holding on to a corner, struggling to support it, and he was already exhausted, and he had no power to backhand.

The man pondered for a long time, and finally admitted defeat, only to see that there was another young and energetic young man before the collapse, the difference was that the person who came was dressed in splendid clothes, a jade belt around his waist, and a rare white jade buckle on his head, and a python circling on his chest and cuffs.

Chu Yun got up to introduce the two of them, pointed at Ren Tianqi, and said with a smile: "The next old friend, the second young master of Ren Jiabao, named Tianqi, and the second master of Ren." Pointing to the man, he said with a smile: "Today, I am a friend of Fang's knowledge, a native of Suzhou, with a compound surname of Dongfang, a single word and a show, Xiuye." ”

Ren Tianqi hurriedly bowed and bowed, and said with a smile: "In the next Ren Tianqi, I am fortunate to have met Brother Dongfang." Fortunately, I will be honored. ”

Dongfang Xiu smiled faintly, hurriedly returned the salute, turned to Chu Yun, and said with a smile: "The hall master is good at chess, I admire it." ”

Ren Tianqi was stunned when he saw Dongfang Xiu's coldness, then smiled slightly, sat down and ignored it.

Chu Yun was also puzzled when he saw Dongfang Xiu like this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiu is polite." I can see that Brother Xiu has never paid much attention to this, and he has a lot of trivial matters, and it seems that he does not leave his hand in the whole game, and he is attentive in the meantime, and the victory or defeat is not enough!"

Dongfang Xiu nodded and said with a smile: "I saw the bamboo and green water show here, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, I thought that there must be a master here, and I was fortunate to see Brother Chu." Brother Chu's talent has already been taught in the next place, and he admires and admires it. ”

Chu Yun said with a smile: "Among the dragons and phoenixes, the two in front of you can afford it." As I said below, I am just a down-and-out person, not a master. ”

Ren Tianqi and Dongfang Xiu were polite.

Dongfang Xiu didn't look at Ren Tianqi. Ren Tianqi wondered in his heart, and said in his heart that I have no enmity with you, and I have no resentment in the near future, where did I offend you, look at you like this, hum. But this person's name is Dongfang Xiu, a native of Suzhou, so it sounds a little familiar.

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "I haven't come here for a long time, and I'm a little indifferent Brother Chu Yun, so I'm here to sit down today." ”

Chu Yun smiled: "Brother Ren is polite. Who doesn't know that Brother Ren has not been idle recently, and he has never congratulated Brother Ren in the future, that is a loss of courtesy. It's just that I have made up my mind, but I only care about the existence of this landscape, bamboo forest. ”

Ren Tianqi smiled and said, "Why should Brother Chu be so polite. In the next turbid person, how dare he pollute Brother Chu's quiet heart. ”

Dongfang Xiu sneered and said: "The Qing people are self-purifying, the turbidity people are self-turbid, the clear turbidity is distinct, and the distance between them is 108,000 miles." ”

Chu Yun and Ren Tianqi smiled knowingly and didn't pay attention to it.

Chu Yun said with a smile: "Brother Ren, look at the faint sorrow between your eyebrows, you should be overjoyed, happy, how can there be anything sad and make people so haggard?" ”

Ren Tianqi looked up at Dongfang Xiu.

Dongfang Xiu said: "The night of the candles in the cave room, when the title of the gold list is inscribed, when people are the most proud, but no one knows that when they are proud, they need to be attentive, and when they are successful, they need to retreat." How can some people have insatiable desires, greed and discontent!"

Ren Tianqi glanced up at Chu Yun and didn't say anything.

Chu Yun also glanced at Dongfang Xiu, and said with a smile: "It's rare that the two of you are gathered in the small restaurant today, and there is nothing to entertain except tea, so stay in Xia and play a song." ”

Ren Tianqi had a doubt in his heart and was about to vomit, seeing that Dongfang Xiu was inconvenient, he couldn't open his mouth when he wanted to speak, and he stretched out his hand to pull Chu Yun, but he felt rude. The outstretched hand was retracted stiffly.

Chu Yun got up and floated away.

Ren Tianqi arched his hand and said to Dongfang Xiu: "Brother Tai doesn't know where he is, and he hasn't seen him before, right?"

Dongfang Xiu pouted and said, "I don't have a friend like you." It's better not to have it!"

Ren Tianqi smiled and said: "I haven't seen Zaixia, that is, Zai Xia has no grudges and no grudges with his brother." I don't know why Brother Tai is so hostile to Zaixia?"

Dongfang Xiu said: "My lord knows it in his heart!"

Ren Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is it clear below, but I don't understand it!"

Dongfang Xiu was stunned, and a cold light in his eyes approached Ren Tianqi, and he said hatefully: "Dongfang Bai, you haven't forgotten your sister's name, right?"

Ren Tianqi sighed, patted his head, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai turned out to be the brother of the old man, no wonder there is always a familiar thought when I see Brother Tai in the next place, and I am guilty of sin!"

Dongfang Xiu snorted, his face was murderous, and he reached out to grab the package on the side of his leg. Inside the package was a sword.

Ren Tianqi was stunned when he saw it.

I saw a silver light, and several silver needles were already nailed to Dongfang Xiu's outstretched hand.

Chu Yun was already in front of the door of the house with the seven-line zither in his arms, and said with a smile: "In the lower teahouse, it is a place of leisure and elegance, and the two of them are both masters in the world, why are they so ambitious!"

Dongfang Xiu said with a smile: "The owner of the hall has misunderstood, and he just disdains to listen to Yaqu with this villain, and wants to say goodbye." ”

Dongfang Xiu picked up the long sword, bowed to Chu Yun, got up and didn't look at Ren Tianqi, stood up, sighed, and said, "Someone asked me to say hello." Somebody, though, better stay away from her!" he said, turning and striding away.

Chu Yun returned the salute.

Ren Tianqi was stunned for a moment, Dongfang Bai asked his brother to say hello, but he was confused for a while, and he was busy bowing down to see him off.

Dongfang Xiu shook his hand, a silver light, and several silver needles were already nailed in front of Ren Tianqi's feet.

Ren Tianqi was startled, and his face was puzzled. The Oriental Show is long gone.

Chu Yun laughed to himself, sat down in his robe, and said with a smile: "A wave is not settled, and another wave is rising." When will the grievances and grievances in this life be a head!"

Ren Tianqi leaned over and pulled out the silver needles on the ground, wiped them clean, and saw that the silver needles were longer and thicker than ordinary embroidery needles.

Chu Yun thanked him for his words, and with a wave of his long sleeves, he had already taken the needle, how to get it, and where it was hidden, but he didn't understand it.

Ren Tianqi was stunned again.

Chu Yun said with a smile: "The second master won't come here because of how to worry about how to use the army, right?"

Ren Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu is really a god, it's true, I hope that Brother Tai will not give him teaching!"

Chu Yun raised his head and looked into the distance, his gaze was far-reaching, and he said slowly: "If you become famous, who doesn't want to." But looking at life, there are gains and losses, and the gains and losses are all in one thought!"

Chu Yun lowered his head, stretched out his hand to invite Ren Tianqi to use tea, and with a shake of his hands, he had already plucked the strings.

Out of the teahouse, Ren Tianqi was refreshed, and let the horse gallop all the way, unconsciously urging the horse to the small hill in the northeast of the village, where he meditated and practiced Zen as a child. Ren Tianqi was stunned, maybe this is the will of God, life is full of wandering all the time, and different endings are chosen.

Ren Tianqi got off the horse, walked up the mountain, everyone wanted to follow, Ren Tianqi turned around and shook his hand to stop, and one person flew up like an ape.

Tian Musa insisted on following, clumsy and clumsy with his hands and feet and climbed upward.

Ren Tianqi jumped for a while, found the two big bluestones for meditation, sat on them, shouted a few times, vented the depression in his heart, and suddenly opened up a lot in his heart, meditated cross-legged, closed his eyes and started to work.

When he found Ren Tianqi, Tian Muzuo was already out of breath, although Tian Muzuo's chest arrow wound had not fully healed, it was very difficult to use his hands and feet at the same time. Tian Muzuo stood beside Ren Tianqi, without saying a word, motionless.

I don't know how long it has passed, the red has set in the west, and the light wind has risen sharply, adding a little chill. Tian Muzuo saw that his body was cold and hollow, and he looked back at Ren Tianqi. Ren Tianqi came back from the meditation, moved, and seemed to sense the cold, opened his eyes, looked up to the sky and laughed, nodded his feet and got up, and slapped a palm in the air on the tree in front of him. With a bang, the tree shook a few times, dropped a few bare branches, and green leaves flew all over the sky, Ren Tianqi flew around in the air, and stretched out his hands to catch it.

Tian Muzuo said: "Look at this new branch is green, short, a long string, how beautiful." ”

Ren Tianqi said: "The old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come." It's a new year and a new beginning. ”

Tian Muzuo said: "That is, look at the plum blossoms in the village, they are not grateful, and in a few days, the peach blossoms will bloom again." Plum and peach branches, that must be very beautiful. ”

Ren Tianqi smiled and said, "Brother Tian, I'm hungry, let's go down." ”

Tian Musa knew that his hands and feet were not good, so he nodded and went down first, and stumbled towards the mountain with the handle of the knife.

Ren Tianqi saw Tian Muzuo's duck-like figure, laughed, and suddenly stopped it, flew over Tian Muzuo with a nod of his feet, turned around to stop Tian Muzuo, and said with wide eyes: "Has Brother Tian been here before?"

Tian Muzuo was startled, his feet slipped, he sat on the ground with his butt, his eyes widened, and when he saw Ren Tianqi's eyes staring at him, he looked murderous, and stammered: "I've been here before, and I've been here once a year ago." ”

When Ren Tianqi heard this, he wanted to ask who the other person was, but he thought that this move might make Tian Muzuo embarrassed, so he didn't ask, so he raised his head and laughed: "Yes, Brother Tian's heels are enough to choke, right?" "Turn around and nod and fly down the hill.

Tian Muzuo was stunned when he heard this, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
