"His name was Zhong Liangfu, and I said to him, 'You don't have to say anything, listen to me. I'm not here to rob you of your money, there's a maid in your house named Little Tears, and that's my best friend. ’”

He paused, coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, and said: "At this time, I shed tears, and then said, 'I have been that friend since I was a child, she is gentle and considerate, and she is the first choice for me to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. ’”

He thought carefully for a moment, and then said: "'I originally wanted to torture you for three days and three nights, so that you would be in pain, and you didn't want to be a man in the next life, but Lao Tzu has principles, either don't kill, or give you a good time, and count you lucky.'" Then I swung my knife and wiped his neck. ”

A smile appeared on the old man's dead wood-like face, and he said, "That's what you really said?"

"Yes. ”

The old man in the water wave mirror looked at the small lake in front of him silently, reminiscing about the love for him, and also recalling the distant love in his life.

"There are always some unsatisfactory things in this world, and I regret that you have experienced this. Have you cut the grass to the roots?"

"No, I only killed the person who killed the little tear man, and nothing else. ”

"The last question, or two choices, back to before you took revenge, the old man first stated a point of view, I don't approve of you killing him, and you know very well that if you don't get my approval, you can't figure it out for the first time. This choice is, kill Zhong Liangsuke and avenge the little tears, if you don't kill Zhong Liangfu, I will consider letting you pass guò. ”

Su Mu's breathing increased slightly, this seemed to be the same as the question of drawing a knife, but it was essentially different. If that question is about character. Then this is a test of life attitude. He didn't know if the old man was serious, but he was very serious.

He blurted out, "I want revenge." ”

"Hear me clearly, if you don't take revenge, you can get my approval. ”

His heart sank, and he said stubbornly: "I take revenge!"

After speaking, he sighed secretly in his heart, his eyes were a little gloomy, and he nodded to the old man without saying anything. Turn and leave.

In his opinion, the first test has ended, and perhaps he is destined to miss the Heavenly Pavilion in this life.

In another stone room, the seventh princess Caimo was staring intently at the old man in the water wave mirror, and asked with some surprise: "How is it possible, it can't be him, I have so many friends who have played since childhood, I believe I care more about them." ”

"Old decay can't be mistaken, it's him in your heart. ”

"But we've only known each other for more than two months, and we've been together for no more than three days. ”

"Some people know each other for a lifetime, and some people are unforgettable in an instant. ”

The Seventh Princess bowed her head thoughtfully. He whispered: "It turns out that I don't dare to face it." He slowly raised his head again: "I understand, what about the royal family." What about grievances, my heart is holy, why should I fall into the mire. ”

"Understanding. Half a month later, this retest. ”

Hearing the other party ask how old he was, Nalan Manmiao flashed his two big round eyes, leaned on the wave mirror with his head, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you look like my grandfather, with a drooping face, looking sluggish, but in fact, you are not a ghost." ”

The old man couldn't help laughing, and the more he laughed, the happier he became, and there was a tendency to laugh. He slowly retracted it, with a smile on his face, stroked his beard and said, "I don't know your grandfather, but I know your grandfather very well." ”

He pinched his fingers and asked, "It seems that it's time for the Shendian Clan to migrate, why are you here?"

"The adults are busy, and they put us children together, and I got lost because of my playfulness. ”

The old man smiled again, looked at her lovingly, and said with relief: "Don't worry, you can't go to the ends of the earth without your grandfather's sight, he won't let his people fall into the world at will." ”

"You mean my grandfather is watching me? Why didn't he save me when I was almost sold in the desert?"

"Maybe he knows you're not going to be in danger. ”

If it hadn't been for the young master who saved me, I would have been insulted by the bad guys. ”

The old man asked inquiringly, "How can there be someone in this world who deserves to be called a young master?"

"The young master is worthy, he is the best person in this world. ”

"It is simple or not easy for a person to be the best in the heart of another person. What kind of young master does your young master belong to?"

Nalan Manmiao smiled proudly: "Young Master belongs to the simplest kind. ”

"The simplest is the least simple, maybe he can really take care of you. ”

"Yes, old man, can you let me in?"

"I'm separated from you by a water, but thousands of miles away, and grandpa can't let you in. ”

Nalan said disappointedly: "Then let's start." ”

"We've already started. Grandpa asks you one last question, if you become a disciple of Tianyi Pavilion, and the Shendian Clan and Tianyi Pavilion turn against each other, how will you deal with yourself?"

"Then I'll be a little spy, hee-hee. ”

"Are you stupid or smart?"

"The young master often said that. I usually don't answer to make the young master think I'm stupid, but I might as well say it in front of my grandfather, I will be generous and become a spy, Tianyi Pavilion can either imprison me or expel me, and then I will be an enemy of Tianyi Pavilion. ”

"Give me a reason to let you know, because it is impossible for grandpa to recruit a small scourge for Tianyi Pavilion. ”

"The young master asked me to take the exam, but I didn't want to come. The young master is very poor, the tuition fee of Tianyi Pavilion is very expensive, and he can't afford me if I am admitted. ”

"I see. After going out, tell your young master, it's best to let him prepare your tuition. ”

Nalan said with a slight embarrassment: "Okay." Grandpa, how much is the tuition fee for Tianyi Pavilion?"

"Five hundred taels a year. ”

Nalan's long eyelashes drooped, and he was deeply worried.

"Goldfish Leap, do you think your peers in the world are inferior to you?"

Jinyuyue bowed his head slightly, and said without being arrogant or humble: "Students don't dare, the world is full of talents, there are people outside the world, there are immortals outside the sky, and the students are just idle scholars." ”

"You call yourself a scholar, but you are ruthless, and you don't have any indifference and elegance as a scholar, if you count it, you have killed more people than Su Mu, who is wanted in those countries. ”

"Su Mu is a killer. He will kill whoever he is told to kill. So the people he has killed are good and bad. I had a clear goal, I killed all the people who should be killed, and every time the students killed someone, they put his body on the street, and everyone applauded. ”

"How do you define whether a person is good or bad?"

"Bullying the weak, bullying and dominating the market, re-burdening and oppressing the people, occupying land and grabbing land. Stealing, robbing, adultery, all bad people. As for the good guys, very few. ”

"So you think most people in the world should be killed?"

"No, a lot of people who are in between good and bad, they shouldn't be killed. ”

"What will you do if your father deceives the market?"

"If anyone goes bankrupt because of this, his wife is separated and he is displaced. I warned my father that he would go his own way. I'll do it. ”

"What will you do to me if I kill for money?"

"Recharge your batteries, and I'll kill you sooner or later. ”

The old man was silent for a moment, and thought expressionlessly: "There are really a few single-minded teenagers in this year, and even the old man doesn't pay attention to the matter of principle, and the future life is terrifying." ”

"Last question, who do you admire the most?"

"My sister. ”

"Why?"

"Because of her, the Jin family has become the richest family in Huafengguo, because of her, I began to be a new person, the student is not talented, and I once lingered in the gambling house fireworks alley for many years, my sister said to me, you are the future of the Jin family, don't indulge yourself anymore. The students were stupid and didn't listen. In those days, when I went to the gambling house, she knelt in front of the gambling house, and when I went to the brothel, she knelt in front of the brothel and didn't say anything, just knelt. I've been kneeling for two years......"

His eyes were slightly ruddy, but he never lowered his proud head.

"That day it rained heavily, I won a lot of money, and those who lost money were usually used to seeing her kneeling outside, and seeing that I never cared, they vented their anger on her, cursing her one by one for being unlucky, and kneeling outside with resentment to cause them to lose money. I watched them punch and kick my sister and didn't move. They are all people with big backgrounds, even if the Jin family is rich, they don't care about beating my sister to death. ”

The old man sighed calmly, "And you didn't mind that they beat your sister to death at the time. ”

"That's right! The biggest mistake I've ever made in my life was to watch those bastards beat her! I saw a tear on her rain-covered face, I watched my sister grow up, and I never cried since she was born, but that day she cried, and the students were struck by lightning, and suddenly they woke up! I took out a fire stick in the kitchen and beat them to death! I set fire to the gambling house! When I got home with my sister in my arms, I knelt down in front of her, cut my finger and wrote a bloody book, vowing to be a new person and never let my family down again. At the same time, I swore in my heart that I would never let my sister cry for me again. ”

The old man said slowly: "In some ways you are very much like a saint, and in some aspects you are very much like a devil. ”

"Hua Fengguo Jin Qiaoqiao has seen his predecessors. ”

Jin Qiaoqiao had been motionless since the moment he entered the small stone room, looking at him with the same calm eyes as the old man.

The old man also unexpectedly did not speak first, but looked at her for a while before saying: "The old man has read countless people, but he has never seen such an indifferent expression on a girl's face, you don't seem to have experienced much, why do you have a heart like water?"

"Without desire, without desire, the natural heart is like stopping water. ”

"Why did you come to Tianyi Pavilion if you have no desires and no desires?"

"Because I have great love in my heart, but I have not reached the realm of great love. ”

The old man smiled slightly, "What is great love?"

"Being good to oneself is great love, taking care of oneself, and naturally taking care of the surroundings. ”

"Well, well said. Tianyi Pavilion is the place to be alone, maybe you can cultivate to the realm of great love. You've got it. ”

Jin Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, nodded, and asked softly, "Just like this?"

She asked herself if her mind was outstanding, but how many people did Tianyi Pavilion stump in this first test, how could she be able to understand it just by asking?

"With your character and character, it is superfluous to ask any more, and the old man is the last thing he wants to do that superfluous thing. ”

"In just a few words, the seniors know the character of the little woman?"

"You seldom show your sincerity. But the old decay still looks at you differently, as you said, you have great love in your heart, but you are far from the realm of great love, real great love can make people feel happy, unload the heart defense, and have this ability to be stronger than any immortal law. First of all, you need to be honest with others, and exchange sincerity for sincerity, which is the most missing part of your current life, and you have to tell you that great love is not alone, if you don't change this point of view, you can never exchange sincerity for sincerity. ”

"No, why do the seniors look at the little woman differently?"

"Because it's amazing that you can see that. ”

"The younger generation humbly asks for advice, what is great love?"

"Cherish yourself. Do not indulge the flesh. Not to be tempted by evil and despair. Enriching the mind with wisdom and knowledge, not allowing the soul to be complacent, always pondering and reflecting, sharing gains and losses with others, and not narrow-mindedness, are all expressions of love for oneself. Then love the one around you and love all things in the world. ”

"Love all things in the world?"

"Not bad. Why do you love the sun?"

Jin Qiaoqiao thought about it, and replied calmly: "Because the sun shines on all things to grow." It also warms the body. ”

"Why do you love the night?"

"The night makes people yearn for light. ”

"Why do you love the mountains?"

"The mountains give me the courage to climb. ”

"Why do you love your enemies?"

"I don't love the enemy. ”

"No, you have to love the enemy. Great love is to love a qiē. Immortal law is easy to learn, but great love is difficult to cultivate. I hope you can bear some good results in Tianyi Pavilion. ”

Jin Qiaoqiao bowed deeply and said sincerely: "The younger generation has been taught." ”

Su Mu walked out of the stone room, and it happened that everyone else also came out, with different expressions, and several families were happy and sad.

He sat down under a tree, plucked two dog's tail grasses with long rhizomes, and braided them with his eyes, and in a few moments they were braided. Then he threw it forward. hated iron and scolded: "What a stupid you! You have already taken revenge, but it's just an illusion." Why are you so angry!"

"Young Master. I asked, Tianyi Pavilion has an annual tuition fee of five hundred taels. Nalan whispered in the background.

Su Muqiang smiled: "How did you do in the exam?"

Nalan said indifferently: "I'm clear." Let's go back, young master, I'm hungry. ”

"You're so stupid?"

Despite his hunch, he was surprised and blurted out.

"yes. ”

"Why don't you care about the situation of the young master?"

"Do you need it? The young master must have gotten through. ”

"I didn't. ”

"What's the matter, what's the matter with the old man? How could the young master not be able to understand Guò?"

Su Mu looked at the group of court officers and soldiers, and said with some worry: "I want to leave here as much as possible." Qiu'er, don't follow me, stay and continue the exam, I'll lend you five hundred taels first, and then come back to you later. ”

Nalan's face was calm, and it was a vain thing to take the preliminary exam just now, and he had never experienced it at all, so he picked up the package on the ground and straddled it on his shoulder, and said, "I didn't want to take the test, young master, let's go down the mountain." ”

"You're not going to take the test?"

"I don't have any money. ”

"Let's get acquainted, I'll lend you as much as you want. ”

"I borrowed it and had to pay it back, so I won't take the test. ”

"You're so stupid. ”

"I'm not stupid. I'll follow you to earn my salary, and then find my family. ”

Su Mu looked at the crowds all over the mountain, smiled slightly at himself, and said, "I'll leave here tomorrow and take you to have a good meal tonight." ”

"Okay. Nalan smiled reservedly, the satisfaction of his expression indescribable.

The best restaurant in Orange County is the Drunken Immortal Building, Su Mu took Xiao Qiu'er to sit down in a ramen restaurant opposite, Xiao Qiu'er looked at the brightly lit Zuixian Building, and reminded aggrievedly: "Young Master, have a good meal." ”

Su Mu said disappreciably: "Isn't ramen good, you look at the craftsmanship of the master at the door, how good it is, I have also pulled it young master, but I can't pull it that long, this is a hard work, and it is also skillful, sometimes you have to carefully hold back your strength, and the longer you pull, the more you can hold back." ”

One person was eating vigorously, and after listening to his description, he couldn't swallow the noodles in his mouth, and said, "Brother, I'm eating here, don't pull it around, okay?"

Su Mu said: "I'm talking about ramen. ”

The man said, "I know, but the more you listen to it, the more it doesn't taste good." ”

Su Mu said: "Okay, I won't pull it, you can eat." ”

The man flicked his chopsticks and said, "Don't eat it!"

Su Mucai ignored whether he ate or not, poured a cup of tea and slowly moistened his mouth.

Nalan reminded again: "Young master, Orange County is a coastal city, and the best thing to eat is seafood. ”

Su Mu was in no mood to make up anything tirelessly, so he glanced at her and said, "Seafood is too expensive, one meal can eat your salary for a year, do you plan to do it for nothing this year?"

Nalan shook his head and said flatly: "But young master, crabs and shrimp are not expensive. ”

"How can this be reasonable, the young master invited you to dinner, and you were still picky, so you didn't invite it. Go back to Zhang Laohan's house to nibble on the nest and drink porridge. ”

Nalan's mouth pouted. Dissatisfied snorted: "If you don't invite, you won't invite." Anyway, I haven't eaten a good meal after following you for so many days. ”

Su Mu watched this always docile and lovely maid write such an obvious resistance on her face, and immediately realized that this wind could not be long, and it must be contained, so she raised her voice and said, "Oh, you have learned to talk back, do you want to revolt?"

Nalan's mouth miraculously pursed a little higher on the original basis, turned his face away, and spit out two words angrily: "I don't want to." ”

Su Mu reached out and pinched her chin and put her face in front of him. Before she could open her mouth, Nalan knocked her hand away, and she said confidently, "You said you couldn't touch me the day you bought me, but I didn't let you touch me." ”

Su Mu's mouth opened slightly for a while and didn't close it, only then did he realize that his maid also had a temper.

"Okay, I won't touch you. I tell you, you must face up to your own identity, what is your identity? Maid, to say that it is unpleasant, you are a slave, a slave for others to call, and the master's kindness to you is the master's kindness. You can't kick your nose and pick and choose, if you do this again, young master, I will drive you away immediately. Before you leave, you have to give me back the money you bought. ”

Nalan cried angrily and sobbed: "I'm penniless, take ...... What will I give you back?"

Su Mu glanced at her apologetically, she really didn't expect that Xiaoqiu, who usually couldn't help teasing, would cry when she said it today? But at this moment, she is at a critical moment to teach her a lesson, and she can't be soft-hearted, otherwise there will be a second time in the future.

"Don't cry, ordinary children cry and someone hurts, who hurts you when you cry? I don't care if you have money or not, you can steal and rob it, as long as you return the money to me, I will dismiss you." ”

Nalan kicked the bench down with an exaggerated kick, turned around and shouted to Su Mu: "Yes, no one hurts when I cry, I'm just a slave who doesn't hurt anyone! I listen to you everything, and I've been happy and happy, but you said that you want to invite me to a good meal, and ramen is not good! I don't know if others hurt, only you hurt me! You said that you invited me to eat well, it means that you hurt me, your words don't count, I hate that you don't count when you talk to me!"

The whole room looked at her and shouted at Su Mu unwillingly, and they all heard the content of their quarrel, and some people looked at Su Mu with mockery.

Some people also noticed her appearance and were immediately moved, and immediately stepped forward and said to Su Mu: "How much money did you buy this maid? ”

He said to Nalan again: "Little sister, why is such a stingy master still following? Serve me in the future, I will take you to eat the Drunken Immortal Building every day." ”

Su Mu was smacking her words, reflecting on the inappropriate ridicule she had just made, and felt more and more that she was too ungentleman and too uncourageous, and she shouldn't break her word and get fat, this meal was so meaningful in her heart, how could she be disappointed?

But at this time, someone came to disturb him, he pulled down his face coldly, and was about to say that my maid is not for sale, and before he could make a sound, he saw Nalan Manmiao glaring at the man with a small face, and scolded crisply: "Get out!"

As soon as the man raised his arm to smoke Nalan, he was pushed out by Su Mu.

Su Mu pulled her sleeve and walked out of the ramen restaurant, smiled at her flatteringly, and said, "Go to the Drunken Immortal Building, we will go wherever you say." ”

Nalan's mouth flattened, and he bargained at the right time: "The small shrimp should be replaced with a lobster." ”

"Change, what is expensive, what you want, if you can't eat, you blame the young master for being insincere!"

Nalan burst into tears and smiled, wiped his tears, and took his hand to the Drunken Immortal Tower.

The Drunken Immortal Building is very lively, and some rich children who have passed the guò first test celebrate here.

There are eighteen private rooms on the second floor, and the seventh princess alone has eight rooms, and she is the only one in the royal family who has been admitted, and the other clansmen are not happy, but they are not very disappointed, and they can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth when they return to the capital.

There is also a private room where the Kim siblings are seated. There were only two of them in the huge room and they liked the quiet.

The hall was very lively, half of it was made up of people from Zhiwen Academy, who put the tables together, and dozens of people sat around. Not only on the second floor, but also on the first and third floors, there are people from their academy, and there are hundreds of people in total, not counting those who are really unwilling to go to the banquet if they don't get in.

The second floor is undoubtedly the most lively, the wind and clouds gather here, the four most famous people in this preliminary trial are all here, after three rounds of drinking, the seventh princess called out the Jin brothers and sisters, and sat with Ba Gang, and the four of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

The little girl from Zhiwen Academy next to her kept smiling at the goldfish. He's just so handsome.

Su Mu thought that there were too many noisy people on the first floor, and when he came to the second floor, he found that it was even noisier here, so he wanted to go to the third floor.

The seventh princess was the first to find him, laughing and beckoning, asking him to drink together.

Su Mu refused and went up to the third floor with the small ball.

The seventh princess asked, "Wait a minute, I didn't find you after the exam, I want to ask you, have you gotten guò?"

Jin Qiaoqiao smiled faintly and said, "Gu Gongzi brought his maid to the Drunken Immortal Mansion to celebrate, right?"

The seventh princess smiled happily: "Yes, I asked more." Since it's better to celebrate or have a little more excitement, why don't we just drink together here?"

Su Mu said with a dumbfounded expression: "You guys celebrate, I didn't know guò." ”

The seventh princess said categorically: "I don't believe it!"

Su Mu smiled kindly at her and said, "If you don't have guò, you don't have guò, and it doesn't have much impact on me." It's just that it's not appropriate to celebrate, so it's better for us to be alone. ”

The seventh princess said: "Where is the celebration, just drinking, it is not easy for everyone to get together from all over the world, wouldn't it be nice to have a drink today and go to different places tomorrow?"

Su Mu is a reckless man in his bones, and he was a little moved when he heard about it, and he came to Drunken Immortal Tower to comfort Xiaoqiu, so he naturally wanted to ask her opinion first.

Seeing him hesitate, the seventh princess said, "Come on, I'll treat you." (To be continued......)
