Chen Shi

When talking about the dispute between the Rong family and the Luo family, we must start with their ancestors.Eight generations back, they were once a family.

The ancestor of the Luo family was the concubine of the Rong family. Because of the downfall of the Rong family, he was adopted to a nouveau riche with the surname Luo, and he has always been brooding in his heart.After the elders of the Luo family passed away, they would come back to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, which is called "inheriting the incense of the two families".The descendants of the Rong family are not extinct, so a bastard with a foreign surname is expected to inherit the incense?The Rong family was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

What was even more irritating was still to come. In order to facilitate the sacrifice, taking advantage of the fact that the Luo family had no one and the Rong family was weak, he simply moved the ranking of the Luo family's ancestors closer to the Rong family's ancestral hall.

The Rong family is naturally unwilling, but the situation is stronger than others, what should we do?

The son of the Rong family was also ruthless. He gritted his teeth and married the widowed daughter of the magistrate who was ten years older than him.

The ancestor of the Luo family was not reconciled, so he bought a piece of land opposite the Rong's ancestral hall and built a Luo Rong's ancestral hall.It's pretty annoying.

This grievance has been entangled for a hundred years, and it wasn't until the Rong family grew stronger that the descendants of the Luo family shrank their heads.It was only recently that the Rong family had offended other aristocratic families by refusing to support the Southwest King. They wanted to join forces to teach him a lesson and secretly instigated the Luo family to make trouble, which led to this tragedy.

Now, a victim of the Rong family is actually asked to break up with the perpetrator, which shows that the judgmental heart has been biased to the limit.

However, in the face of menacing difficulties, Rong Yun smiled calmly, stated the facts, reasoned, and even took out the rubbings of the family tree, pointing out that the ancestors of the Luo family were indeed crossed out from the Rong family tree, and they already had a foreign surname.

In contrast, the Luo family can only mess around.

After a whole morning of entanglement, the Luo family retreated steadily. The head of the Fang family immediately stopped the debate and said, "It's getting late, and I've already prepared some food and drinks. Please take your seats. We'll talk later if we have something to say."

Rong Yun licked her lips eagerly, and looked at Chen Zhi beside her obediently, as if she was obedient to her teacher.

Chen Zhi straightened his back and subconsciously wanted to stroke his beard. When he put his hand on his chin, he realized that he didn't have a beard, so he scratched his chin temporarily: "The invitation is kind, but it's disrespectful."

The Patriarch of the Fang family's eyes lit up slightly, and he led everyone to the table with a smile.

As they filed in, Hu Nianxin slowed down and gave Chen a 'careful' look.

Chen Zhicai took a look, and Rong Yun grabbed his sleeve.

Rong Yun whispered: "He has ulterior motives, master be careful."

Others kindly reminded me, why did I have ulterior motives?Chen Zhi raised his eyebrows in disapproval.

Rong Yun said: "If he knew there was danger inside, he should have informed yesterday. If he didn't know, he would be an empty-handed wolf, earning our gratitude for nothing."

Chen Zhi asked curiously, "Why do you have so many thoughts in your head?" In the past few years on the mountain, how did the two of them give birth to so many intrigues?

Rong Yun's eyes turned red, her mouth flattened...

"Take it! I don't blame you." Chen Zhisheng was afraid that he would cry out in public, so he quickly coaxed him, "I'm praising your talent."

Rong Yun didn't believe it: "Master doesn't like me anymore."

Chen Zhi wanted to say, when did I say that I liked you, but when I said this, Xiao Kuibao couldn't help crying, so he could only smile and say, "It's nothing. As a teacher, you are the only apprentice." One was so worried, A few more will definitely die from overwork.

Rong Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will always be Master's only apprentice?"

Making progress, Chen Zhi patted his head, and said vaguely, "Look at your performance."

Rong Yun did not get an affirmative answer, and she was disappointed for a while, but she was full of confidence again when she thought about the years that she had gone from "being disliked by Master" to "being liked by Master" step by step.

The two stayed behind for too long, and the owner of the Fang family couldn't help but come out and pull them in: "Brother Rong, don't be polite, just treat yourself as your own home, and if there is anything that is not enough, just say it."

Rong Yun was really blunt and said: "In the past, at home, the father and mother took the lead, but it's a pity that they are gone."

The Patriarch of the Fang family who was about to return to the main seat: "..." After finally overcoming the psychological barrier and sitting down, when he looked up, he saw Rong Yun looking at him undisguisedly, which attracted the attention of others, so he asked, "Rong Yun What's the matter, little brother?"

Rong Yun's eyes were red, and she said sobbingly: "The house is full of guests today, but my mother and father have no chance to meet. I feel really sad."

What can the owner of the house say?I can only comfort you.

After comforting for a long time, Rong Yun finally held back her tears: "I want to toast my parents."

The Patriarch of the Fang family felt that something was wrong, but the others nodded as a matter of course, so he could only say yes with a smile.Then, Rong Yun spilled a glass of wine and another glass of wine at him.

The others stared dumbfounded at the stupefied head of the Fang family.

The Patriarch of the Fang family was already old, endured his breath, poured a glass of wine, and said loudly: "May my brother and sister-in-law rest in peace."

Others followed suit and spilled wine.

The residual wine exuded a strong mellow aroma, but everyone lost their appetite and just sat and ate vegetables.

After eating half full, the servants of the Fang family rushed in: "Patriarch! Immortal... Immortal is here." The "immortal" here does not refer to immortals, but ordinary people's respectful title for monks.

Except for the Fang family, people from the other major families all focused their attention on Chen Zhi and Rong Yun intentionally or unconsciously.But the two of them didn't know anything, they should still eat, drink, and be content.

The head of the Fang family had already stood up to greet them, and then the Gu family, the Wu family, the Hu family, and the Lin family got up one by one.When Lin Zhiyuan, that is, Tan Shu left, he deliberately looked at Chen Zhi, but before Chen Zhi could respond, Rong Yun glanced over first—being stared at by him, naturally he didn't give any wink.

Rong Yun misunderstood his gaze as provocation, helped Chen Zhi to stand up, and said with a sneer, "This young master of the Lin family is really interesting."

Chen Zhi heard that his tone was not kind, and hurriedly said, "Maybe he didn't have any malicious intentions."

Rong Yun said unhappily: "Does Master know him? How can you speak for him?"

"How do I speak for him? I speak for him because..."

Before Chen Zhi could think of a reason, Rong Yun became even more unhappy: "Master is really speaking for him?"

Chen Zhi: "..." The child is so young, so it's so difficult to deal with, how can it be difficult when he grows up.

The two of them were tangling, when suddenly a clear female voice rang in their ears: "Please come out and see Master Siming."

Chen Zhi rubbed his ears: "Who is Real Siming?"

Rong Yun tiptoed to help him rub his ears, and said, "You are the real Siming."

Chen Zhi: "..."

Stepping out of the threshold, the fresh and elegant plum fragrance comes out, which is refreshing.People from different families stood on both sides of the door. In the middle of the courtyard facing the door, there was a huge gossip mirror. Above it stood a slim girl in a pink shirt. Her face was covered by a tulle, revealing only a round and bright pair of mirrors. His big eyes stared at them condescendingly.

When Chen Zhi met these familiar eyes, he lost his voice, as if someone had used a hold technique, and stood there dumbfounded, not even aware of Rong Yun's pull on him.

"Are you Taoist Siming?" The girl tilted her head slightly and looked him up and down.

Chen Zhi looked at her, all kinds of thoughts and helplessness came to his heart, as if immersed in another world, isolated from the world.

It was the first time Rong Yun saw Chen Zhi lose his composure like this, she was so jealous, she took a step forward, half blocked in front of him, and confronted the girl: "You are so unruly, don't you know how to report yourself before asking people? "

The girl was not angry, she jumped off the gossip mirror lightly, walked in front of Rong Yun, looked up at Chen Zhi: "My teacher wants to see you."

There was no sound behind her, and Rong Yun couldn't help but turn her head, only to see Chen Zhi's eyes dripping with tears.

"Master?" Rong cried, including crying so many times, but it was the first time he saw Master crying, and his heart was in turmoil. He ignored him and hugged him and said, "Master, what's wrong with you? What wronged you? Tell me, I will replace you." You take revenge." After saying that, he did not forget to give the girl a hard look.

The girl thought that Daoist Siming was crying for no reason, but when he stared at her, she felt even more puzzled: "My master doesn't necessarily want to kill you if he wants to see you. Why are you crying?"

Rong Yun was about to refute, but Chen Zhi covered her mouth.Chen Zhi restrained his mind and said hoarsely, "Where is your master?"

Seeing that girls have to step on the gossip mirror when they appear on the stage, one can imagine the grandeur of their teacher-the empty martial arts arena is covered with plum blossoms, and a wooden frame is erected around it, with thin pink gauze hanging down, and the wind blows like waves Push up layer by layer.In the middle of the field, a white-painted bamboo house was parked, the door of the house was slightly open, revealing a bright orange gleam.

Chen Zhi walked to the door stepping on the plum blossom petals, and was about to push the door, when he heard a male voice inside say: "Wait a minute. 'Heaven is divided into one center, and people have economics in their hearts.' Where does the Taoist teacher come from?" ?”

Chen Zhi didn't hesitate, he pushed the door and said, "Huang Tianya."

There was a sudden "bang" inside, like a heavy object falling to the ground.

Chen Zhi hurriedly walked inside, just in time to see a tall and thin man getting up from the ground.Looking at each other, the man said: "Sleeping with the ground, you can feel the air of the ground."

Chen Zhi said, "I did hear the confidence in your words."

The man looked him up and down, his eyes were the same as those of a girl: "You said you came from Huang Tianya...are you a fairy?"

Chen Zhi nodded: "En."

The man walked around him, and suddenly reached out to hug him, so scared that Chen Zhi pushed and kicked him away.The man caressed the pushed chest and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment: "It really is immortal energy."

Chen Zhi couldn't help but said, "Obviously I hate it."

The man didn't take it seriously, he took out tea cakes from the cabinet, and greeted Chen Zhi to take a seat: "My floating hall has been built for so long, and this is the first time I have entertained gods. Please forgive me for my negligence. Please sit down."

Chen Zhi said, "I haven't asked for advice..."

The man put down the tea cake and stood up, took down a bouquet of white plum blossoms in the vase, and sniffed lightly from his side: "I'm counting down the plums, the palace master Mei Ruoxue."

Chen Zhi clasped his fists and said, "I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Mei Ruoxue put the plum blossoms back into the vase, sat down and continued prying the tea cake: "I specially collected this tea from the foot of Kunlun Mountain. It is said that the tea tastes sweet, fresh and tender, and has an endless aftertaste."

Chen Zhi said, "I don't know if Palace Master Mei asked me to come here, what advice can I give you?"

Mei Ruoxue put the tea cakes again, and moved her hand towards the vase, and the bunch of plum blossoms jumped into his palm.He lowered his head and sniffed the petals lightly: "I heard that there are gods in Siming, and I admire them, so I visited rashly, and I ask the gods not to be offended."

Chen Zhi said, "It's easy to talk about."

Mei Ruoxue looked at him for a while, seeing that there was nothing else to say, she inserted the plum blossom back again: "I have treasured this tea cake for many years, and I am reluctant to drink it even on weekdays."

Chen Zhi waited for him to sit down before asking, "I don't know what is the relationship between Palace Master Mei and the Fang family?"

Mei Ruoxue immediately stood up and went to get plum blossoms.

Chen Zhi was helpless: "Then what is the mystery of the plum blossom, which makes the palace master reluctant to part with it."

Mei Ruoxue held the plum blossoms and said: "The immortal called me the palace master, so I naturally have to show the most pure and lovable side, so that the immortal will be impressed with me."

Chen Zhi: "..."

In order to make a good impression, he simply hugged the plum blossoms and did not let go, put his face in the bouquet, and said with a smile: "I have never met that Fang family. It was he who wrote a letter saying that there is a way to meet the immortal, so I came to see it." watch."

Chen Zhi said: "I don't know if the Palace Master has ever heard of 'Plum Blossom Killing'?"

Mei Ruoxue said: "It's just a plaything played by unworthy disciples. Could it be that the immortal is also interested in it? Oh, yes, it is very inconvenient for the immortal to work in Huang Tianya. If there is any matter of killing and stealing goods, it is not convenient to do it yourself Just tell me, the immortal, and make sure it's done properly." He had a close relationship with several Penglai monks, and knew a thing or two about the things in the sky.

Chen Zhi said: "If I want to check the buyer of a transaction..."

"Why is this so difficult?" Mei Ruoxue immediately called someone to find the disciple who founded the "Plum Blossom Killing" organization.

The disciple was nearby, and came quickly after hearing the news.

As soon as Mei Ruoxue asked to speak, the disciple immediately felt troubled: "It's not that I don't want to speak, it's just that there are rules, I..."

Mei Ruoxue was too lazy to listen to his babbling, and asked directly: "Do you want to die?"

The disciple was familiar with the master's temper, so he didn't dare to make more excuses, so he could only say: "The master has an order, and the disciple dare not disobey it, but the disciple must always be faithful when doing business outside. Although I can tell the news, I still have to know Say hello to him."

Seeing that Chen Zhi didn't object, Mei Ruoxue waved her hand and said, "It's up to you."

The disciple asked, "I don't know what business Master wants to check?"

Chen Zhi said: "The owner of the Rong family in Hangzhou is Rong Yucheng."

The disciple said: "There is no need to investigate this transaction. I still remember that the buyer is Hu Yue, the head of the Hu family."

Chen Zhi was stunned.Because he predicted that the Hu family, like the Lin family, would seek refuge with Rong Yun, and because Hu Nianxin tipped off the news last night, he preconceived and dismissed the Hu family from suspicion, but he did not expect the result to be the opposite.

Seeing Chen Zhi's shocked expression, Mei Ruoxue said, "Who's going to tell you not to check? Go and check it out before you talk about it."

The disciple swallowed his anger and walked around outside, then came back and said: "I have checked everything, it is undoubtedly Hu Yue."

Chen Zhi clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Palace Master Mei."

Mei Ruoxue shook the plum blossoms shyly: "It's easy to talk about. I also have something to ask, please grant the immortal."

With short hands, Chen Zhi couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "Immortal, please tell me."

Mei Ruoxue turned to the outside again, and said coldly: "It's none of your business, get out."

The disciple walked away with heavy steps.

Then Mei Ruoxue took out a secret book from Qiankun bag, and said with a smile: "I was lucky enough to get a copy of dual-cultivation exercises from a monk who committed suicide. Therefore, I want to ask the immortal to fulfill me."

Chen Zhi didn't realize it for a moment: "You want me to help you protect the media?" He couldn't help but look at him.She has average looks, weird behavior, and likes to take the house with her. I'm afraid this matchmaker is not safe.

Mei Ruoxue gave her a glance, and said with a smile: "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you. Why do immortals pretend to be ignorant?"

……

Although Chen Zhi understood, he would rather remain confused.He laughed dryly, "Actually, I'm a monk."

Mei Ruoxue's eyes widened: "Aren't you a fairy?"

Chen Zhi said, "Immortals can also become monks."

Mei Ruoxue was skeptical: "The immortal doesn't want to, how can I be strong, why bother to find such an excuse to perfuse me."

You're not the only one being perfunctory.

Chen Zhi firmly insisted that he became a monk.

Mei Ruoxue had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and said, "Then ask the immortal to help me protect the media."

Chen Zhi complied perfunctorily, got up to leave, and suddenly turned around worryingly: "I'm a god, please keep it a secret from the palace master."

Mei Ruoxue was not surprised: "Don't worry, Immortal, the heavenly secrets must not be revealed. I am the Mistress of Meishu Palace. Isn't this something that has not been counted?"

The owner of Meishu Palace sounds very countless.

But Chen Zhi still believed him.Because there is no saying that he is destined to be a fairy, since he has the hope of becoming a fairy, it probably won't be too outrageous... right?If nothing is ignored, he still has confidence in his own ideas.

Because Mei Ruoxue pestered him to talk, even though she only talked about a few things, it took an entire afternoon, and when Chen Zhi came out, the sunset was already halfway down.Waiting impatiently, Rong Yun, who couldn't help rushing in a few times, rushed over as soon as she saw him, walked around him, and said after making sure that there was nothing wrong: "Master, why have you been away for so long? This disciple has been waiting so anxiously." As she spoke, tears gathered in her eye sockets, and they could shake off with a single movement.

Chen Zhi looked funny and distressed, wiped his face with his sleeve: "Do you still remember the punishment?"

Rong Yun's face changed: "I didn't cry! I was blinded by the wind and sand just now.

Chen Zhi pampered his head indulgently, then looked around.

Rong Yun said sourly: "Is Master looking for that girl wearing a veil? She was invited to drink tea by the head of the Fang family."

Thinking of her, Chen Zhi sighed quietly: "It's okay." He knew that she was not Xiu Ning, but her eyes were [-] to [-]% similar, and she just thought about others when she saw things.

Rong Yun asked: "Master recognizes her? Or recognize those eyes?"

I have to say that although he is young, his observation and acuity are very human.Chen Zhi said: "I am looking for the Patriarch of the Hu family as a teacher, have you met him?"

Rong Yun said: "About an hour ago, I took my son and left in a hurry. What did Master ask him for?"

Chen Zhi said: "I have something to tell you as a teacher, I hope you don't get too excited after hearing it." After thinking about it, she felt that although Rong Yun was precocious, she was still a child. When she suddenly heard the news of killing her father and enemy, she would not be excited. possible. "Forget it, let's talk about it when we go back."

Rong Yun was stunned and said, "Can we go back now?" In order to deal with today's Hongmen Banquet, he had already planted ambushes around the garden, and he also wrapped a soft sword around his waist in case of emergency. Hangzhou is full of turmoil, and the conference where many foreigners have to return to their hometowns has ended in an anticlimactic manner?

Chen Zhi said: "As a teacher, I will teach you another principle. Hit a snake and hit seven inches, and the rest will be nothing to worry about."

When chatting with Mei Ruoxue, he mentioned the martial law in Hangzhou, and the other party took it for granted: "I haven't been out of the palace for decades. Wouldn't it be a joke if I didn't have an earth-shattering ostentation? A mile is cleared, who knows that he will act in the right way and in the dark." Chen Zhi also said something fair for the head of the Fang family: "If it is empty, no one will see the grandeur of the palace master. Wouldn't it be a pity?" Mei Ruoxue said: "I am They will send people to spread the news." Chen Zhi: "..."

The process is not important anymore, the important thing is that if Mei Ruoxue quits rashly, it will definitely frighten other families, and Rong Yun will be safe.

He originally wanted to take Rong Yun to bid farewell to the head of the Fang family, but was stopped by Rong Yun, saying that the Fang family was flattering, so he must not be idle, just send someone there.The head of the Rong family is Rong Yun after all, and Chen Zhi is not easy to interfere.

When they came out of Fang's house, they happened to meet the Luo family who were about to leave by car.

The young master of the Luo family who had quarreled with Rong Yun suddenly jumped out of the carriage, walked over and said, "Fang and Gu families invited us here today, and they promised us some benefits. Ever since my father questioned me, our life has been a bit difficult. " Paused and said, "Your father's death has nothing to do with us, but my father lost his life for nothing, so it's considered clear." After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Rong Yun heard it or not, he jumped into the carriage and left .

Chen Zhidao: "This kid is really smart."

The Luo family boy must have seen the two of them come out intact, knew that the Fang family's plan had changed, and was afraid of being liquidated in the future, so he came over to give in.

Rong Yun said unconvinced: "What kind of cleverness is this? It's just a piece of grass."

Chen Zhi had no choice but to say: "Compared to you, of course I lose."

Only then did Rong Yun become happy.

The two got into the carriage, and Rong Yun began to talk about what happened after Chen Zhi entered the white house.Let me first talk about how snobbish the young master of the second room of the Wu family is, and then say that the young master of the Lin family is not very clear-headed.

Chen Zhi thought to himself: His brain is not clear, it's obviously because his method is too straightforward.

After the carriage traveled for a while, Rong Yun suddenly asked: "Didn't Master tell me something? Now there are only two of us, Master, please tell me."

Chen Zhi sighed secretly, took out a handkerchief from his Qiankun bag and stood by: "I have found out who your father's murderer is."

Rong Yun's face was slightly stiff, and she quickly realized: "It's Hu Yue?"

Chen Zhi nodded, and a lot of emergency response plans flashed in his mind: if Rong Yun rushed out yelling, how would he hold him back; if he burst into tears, how would he comfort him, etc.

However, Rong Yun quickly regained his composure: "Thank you master, I understand."
