[Shen Jian] Plum rain

Kang Anyu hurriedly stepped onto the corridor, and when he saw Zhi Jian, he called out, "Sixth brother, help me."Zhi Jian turned around and asked why, and Kang Anyu sighed: "Second Master has been back for more than three months, and he is still frowning all day long. Why don't you go and persuade him, I'm really afraid that if he can't think about it, he will go to Liujia Village again to seek guilt .I went there before, and the second master gave half of his life there. If I go again now...wouldn't it be the second master's life."

At first glance, it seems that the reason is sufficient and logical; but when he arrived at the door of Yang Jian's study, Zhijian was pushed and knocked on the door by five sworn brothers, and only then did he realize what was wrong.

"Why did I go?" Zhijian suppressed his voice, his face flustered, "You are all here, why are you calling me?"

The five elder brothers looked at each other in blank dismay, all put on their high-spirited faces, and waved their hands at Zhijian like chasing away mosquitoes.The atmosphere was so weird that Zhi Jian's face flushed a little, and Kang Anyu stuffed a piece of paper into his hand in a hurry.He even looked at his elder brother with an inexplicable face, only to hear Kang Anyu whispered softly: "By the way, help me report to the second master about the military training last month." Fly away together.

Zhijian hurriedly chased after two steps, then heard the door creak behind him, and it opened without wind.

This is the arrow on the string.Zhi Jian could only bite the bullet and entered the study, closed the door behind his back, and saw Yang Jian when he raised his eyes.

The second master he followed has been a judicial god in the heaven for 800 years. Xu is the long night of the Zhenjun Temple, and Xu is the silver armor and black cloak.But today is different, Yang Jian is dressed in white like snow, sitting on a soft bed as if bored, with a docile black dog lying on his feet.And behind him, there is a wide open window, and a branch of red plum in the courtyard stretches its head and brain into the room, and against the fluttering silver sand, it is even more charming and charming.

It has been 800 years, and Yang Jian is finally the same Guanjiangkou Earth Immortal who listened to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement.

Walking straight to Yang Jian, he called out "Second Master", explaining the purpose of his visit, and unfolded the paper to read.Kang Anyu's reports have always been clear and clear. First, he listed the number of troops added last month, how many people were promoted and dismissed, and then talked about the intensity of the exercise and the results of the training. Finally, he listed the plan for this month in detail, attaching the sentence "Listen The second master ordered."

After reading these, there are a few short sentences on the reverse side.Seeing that Yang Jian seemed to have no doubts about the content of Cai Cai's report, Zhi Jian paused for a while, and finished reading the few words on the back: "Ji Yang has made great contributions, I hope Er Ye will forgive me and deal with it lightly."

Ji Yang, who used to be the general of Caotou God, was very brave when he charged into battle.According to the report just now, Ji Yanggui was obsessed with robbing a civilian girl and killed a mortal woman. After Kang Anyu found out, he was dismissed and investigated.But this matter cannot be hidden from the past, even if Kang Anyu does not report it, he will still be stabbed in front of Yang Jian in the future, so there are only a few words of pleading on the back of the paper.

Read here, even if it is over.Zhi Jian folded the paper and waited quietly for Yang Jian to respond.As a result, after waiting for a while, it was Xiao Tiangou who spoke first.

"Master..." Black Dog stuck out his tongue and complained, "It hurts so much from you touching my head..."

Only then did Yang Jian come back to his senses, and rubbed the top of Xiaotiangou's head vigorously, finally let go of him, and raised his hand: "Go and play."

"Thank you, master!" Xiaotiangou ran out wagging its tail as if it had been pardoned.Seeing it go, Zhijian finally understood why Xiaotiangou was not sick or in pain recently, but always looked like a dog, probably because it was more convenient for the second master to touch and rub.

Perhaps what Kang Anyu said is correct, Yang Jian went back to Liujia Village, and he really gave half of his life there.He and Chen Xiang broke up unhappy, and went back to Guanjiangkou together with Xiaotiangou in August. It was almost the end of the year, but he was still a little lost. He may not have heard what Zhijian said just now.

But you can't let him go on like this.No matter how many things he can't understand, he is still a god, and his right and wrong decisions are often closely related to the safety of the people in Guanjiangkou.Helpless, Zhijian reminded: "Second Master?"

Yang Jian raised his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and said calmly, "Kill it."

"Killed?" Zhi Jian couldn't react for a while, and asked again, "Did the second master mean Ji Yang?

Yang Jian didn't speak, but nodded silently.

"But the elder brother said..." Zhijian was very embarrassed, "The elder brother said that it is best to spare his life. He has made great achievements in the past, but he just went astray for a while. If he can change his ways in the future..."

"Reform? Is it possible to let him come back and use it again?" Yang Jian asked lightly, "Nowadays, there are a lot of talents, and the Caotou God does not lack a mere young player. Besides, you have to know that if he is left behind, he may It will only make progress, and if it attracts others to follow suit, the gain will outweigh the loss.”

Although Zhi Jian followed Yang Jian's lead, he still had a close personal relationship with Kang Anyu, and he still had objections after hearing it: "But if the second master disposes of Jiyang just because of this trivial matter, I'm afraid he will be ruined in the future." Talking point. Big brother advises you to deal with it leniently, not only because of Jiyang, but also because of your reputation outside the second master."

"Fame?" Yang Jian's complexion changed slightly, "I never cared about my reputation outside, but you guys now care about it for me."

"Second Master..."

"Killing a mortal is a trivial matter. Go ahead and make him pay for his life."

That's the end of the conversation, it's too much to say.Zhijian couldn't refute, but also knew that Yang Jian had always been cruel, so he agreed for the time being and prepared to step down.Unexpectedly, before he could take half a step, he was stopped by Yang Jian again.

It was snowing outside the window, but it was so quiet that there was almost no wind.Yang Jian stood up, walked up to Zhijian, and brought the chill from the window with him.

"You look hesitant, because you have other plans," Yang Jian said, "Could it be that you want to go back to Meishan and discuss with Kang Anyu how to save Ji Yang from life?"

After being seen through, Zhi Jian no longer concealed his thoughts, and said frankly: "I do have such thoughts."

There was a stalemate for a while, neither of them said a word.After a while, Zhijian heard Yang Jian sigh softly: "Zhijian, you also think I am vicious."

After being told what was on his mind, Zhijian lowered his eyes and became more and more silent.

"Are you refusing to say it, afraid to say it, or do you think it's useless to say more?" Yang Jian seemed to be at odds with this matter, and was still asking, "You have been with me for 3000 years, have you ever seen me as you for even one day?" Brother's?"

Brother...Yang Jian actually said that he wanted to be his brother?Zhijian was quite surprised, almost unable to answer: "I..."

Although he didn't answer, the truth was ready to come out.Yang Jian smiled knowingly, and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "I understand..." There seemed to be a shallow sigh in the words, and he said again and again, "I understand."

Zhi Jian intuitively felt that these two sentences "I understand" are full of deep meaning, even a bit self-deprecating.It's a pity that he was born with a clumsy tongue, so he couldn't think of any words to comfort Yang Jian for a while.But thinking about it again, yes, why would Yang Jian need comfort?Although he has a handsome appearance, his personality is as cold and sharp as steel. He has been under Yang Jian's hands for 3000 years in this life, and he has never seen even a trace of weakness in him.

Or maybe if he could be weaker, he wouldn't be as lonely as he is now.People say that rigidity is easy to break, but he never breaks it, and people say that wisdom will be hurt, but he never hurts it.In the face of absolute strength, all laws and fixed numbers are just for show, and obviously, behind Yang Jian, there will never be any friends.

For 3000 years, he has been single-handedly, disdaining to make friends.He disdains it, and no one will be his friend.This is the so-called sophistication of the world.

It's not Zhijian's fault, Yang Jian naturally wouldn't blame him.It's just about the sheep, you can't hide it, you can only kill it.

After this conversation, Yang Jian's mood still didn't improve much.Xiaotiangou complained every day, saying that he probably had changed his hair all over his body, because his master stroked it over and over again to make him bald.In order to comfort Xiaotiangou, the Meishan brothers stretched out six hands at the same time, and stroked him from head to tail several times, so angry that Xiaotiangou howled.

But the conversation is the conversation, Yang Jian and the Meishan brothers still maintain the once moderate subordinate-subordinate relationship.The monthly military report went on as usual, and Yang Jian finally stopped being absent-minded; as for the Meishan military parade every three months, Yang Jian showed up with Xiao Tiangou casually, took a rough look and left.

Of course, military training is extremely boring, and sometimes the Meishan brothers will come up with some ways to pass the time, such as eliminating demons.Although Yang Jian lacked interest, he still had to go out to support the scene and sharpen his three-pointed two-edged sword with the goblin by the way.As a result, there are many demons eliminated, and there are always accidents. One time when Kang Anyu saw Yang Jian destroying the cave and came back, there was a black eagle standing on his shoulder.

"The master has given him a good name," Roaring Dog said excitedly, "His name is Ni Tianying."

Kang Anyu scratched his head. He didn't have any objection to Yang Jian's keeping pets, but he felt sorry that the sixth brother might have more rivals in love.

In the middle of the second year after Yang Jian came back from Liujia Village, Yang Chan finally completed the aftermath work of the Fourth Heaven in the Desire Realm, and returned to Liujia Village under Yang Jian's persuasion to reunite with her husband and son's family.Every year since then has passed both fast and slow. Yang Chan will always come to Guanjiangkou to visit Yang Jian on the anniversary of her parents' death and a few days after the year. sky.Sometimes Yang Jian felt that if she came too often, she might have conflicts with Chen Xiang like him;As for Chen Xiang, he didn't go to Guanjiangkou even once, thinking about it, he still blamed his uncle for his villainous nature.

It's guesswork, but Yang Jian can't and doesn't want to visit Liujia Village again.Time is like a white horse, more than ten years passed quietly in the blink of an eye, one morning when I woke up and saw the continuous rain outside the window, Xiao Tiangou happily broke into the door to announce the good news: "Good news, master! The person you hate is dead!"

Yang Jian was in a sluggish mood. There were many people he hated in the Three Realms, and he didn't care much about their lives. He asked casually, "Who died?"

"Liu Yanchang! Ni Tianying told me," Roaring Sky Dog said with a smile, "When he dies, San Shengmu and Chen Xiang can return to their master!"

The news came so suddenly, Yang Jian thought he had heard it wrong, and asked again: "Who died?"

"Liu Yanchang is dead. Master, he died last night." Xiao Tiangou carefully observed Yang Jian's expression, "Master, are you unhappy?"

Not very happy or unhappy.Yang Jian wasn't shocked, and didn't give any answer. He raised his eyes and saw the misty sky outside the window, and subconsciously asked, "How many months?"

This question was quite inexplicable, Xiao Tiangou didn't understand, so he said, "It's June, master."

It's June.It is rainy day again.

What a tiresome cycle.

"Call Ni Tianying and follow me to the underworld." Yang Jian finally decided.

Not long after, Yang Jian, dressed in white, appeared outside the palace of the king of hell with an eagle and a dog.Seeing Zhenjun Erlang's arrival, the little ghost was about to go in and inform the king of hell to come out of the hall to welcome him, but Yang Jian stopped him and said, "It's okay, I just heard that Liu Yanchang died, so come to hear the trial. You take me to the back of the hall of the king of hell, let me listen Two sentences will do."

Yang Jian made such a request, the little ghost had no reason to refuse, and led the way respectfully and respectfully.After the Master Zhenjun was settled, the judge took the roster, ticked Liu Yanchang's name to the front with a stroke of the stylus, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zhenjun, Liu Yanchang will be next, please wait for a while."

Yang Jian was not in a hurry at all, holding the teacup and waving casually, the judge retreated knowingly, and whispered to Hades after leaving the backcourt.Although Yan Wang has always been upright, he was unavoidably intimidated by Yang Jian's notoriety. His expression was tense, and he slapped the gavel, almost startling himself. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Bring...bring Liu Yanchang here!"

After a while, a ray of ghost came in response to the sound and knelt on the hall.Yan Wang looked carefully at Liu Yanchang's life, and carefully judged: "Liu Yanchang, in this life, you have a relationship with the Three Holy Mothers of Huashan. Will be reincarnated as..."

He spoke half, but stopped.Liu Yanchang looked up, it turned out that the judge came hurriedly from the apse, whispering in Hades' ear.The King of Hades nodded repeatedly while listening, slapped the gavel again, and changed the topic: "Because you have a deep karma in the next life, and you have some knowledge, and can tell right from wrong, this king may consider keeping you in the underworld as a small judge, and you will leave forever." What do you think about the suffering of reincarnation?"

In this way, Liu Yanchang, a mortal soul, still has the freedom to choose his way forward.He glanced over Hades, and landed on the judge's courteous face full of hints, but finally stayed in the dark aisle of the apse.

"Before I died, I told the Three Holy Mothers and Chen Xiang that even though they are gods and immortals, they live forever, go up to the blue sky, and go down to the underworld, but I am still just a mortal, in this life and probably in the next life; I enjoy the time of mortals , feelings, and life." Liu Yanchang said slowly, with tranquil eyes, "Ordinary people have joys, sorrows, sorrows, and life and death. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Ordinary people may be like ants in the eyes of gods, but In my eyes, immortals are ruthless and loveless, have gone through vicissitudes, never end, can't be freed, and are of no benefit."

He finally saw a white shadow faintly flashing in the passage.

"God is merciful..." He whispered to himself, "In the next life, I just want to be an ordinary person and have nothing to do with gods."

After hearing this, the judge and Hades changed their faces together.After a long while, seeing the judge standing still, Hades stabbed him with an elbow, the judge finally woke up like a dream, and ran back to the apse quickly, and came out after a while to whisper again.Hearing this, Yan Wang nodded again, and his tone suddenly became fierce: "Liu Yanchang! You have a good idea. Since your destiny in the next life is still very good, how can you change it! Judge, read it to him!"

The judge nodded, unfolded the fate book, and read: "Liu Yanchang, in the next life, you should take refuge in Buddhism, the Dharma is boundless, but the roots of love are deeply rooted, the sins are hard to judge, and you will fall into the devil's way, and you will not end well..."

Liu Yanchang closed his eyes and sighed deeply.Soon two ghost guards, one on the left and one on the right, took his arms and took him to the path of reincarnation.

When walking around the corner, Liu Yanchang was suddenly blessed and looked back.But seeing that white shadow slowly stepping out of the apse, the king of Hades, the magistrates, and the ghosts knelt all over the ground.

A glimpse is fleeting.Liu Yanchang laughed.

As if satisfied.

King Yan respectfully said: "True Monarch, that's the sentence just now,... is it okay?"

Yang Jian stared coldly at his unshaven face, and took a look at the fate book, and the four words at the end rolled around on the tip of his tongue: "...not a good end."

"Yes, yes, this is his fate, we dare not tamper with it," the judge argued with a pale face, "Zhenjun, you told us to judge fairly according to the fate book, we dare not..."

Yang Jian threw the book of life back and didn't pursue it any further. He just led Ni Tianying from his shoulder to his forearm, and said: "I have made a new friend, and he may be in contact with the underworld in the future. I am here to introduce him. Get to know you."

Yan Wang hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Then dare to ask Zhenjun, what is the name of this friend?"

"His name is Ni Tianying!" Xiao Tiangou snapped back, "He still has a human form, but he doesn't like changing."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the little god remembers," Yan Wang said, "Do you want the real king to sit in the back hall for a while? There are only about twenty ghosts left. Today's interrogation is over. The little god can accompany the real king and the ghost." Lord Nitian, Lord Xiaotian, drink some wine."

"It's okay, Yama." Yang Jian said with a half-smile, "I came here for convenience in the future, not to disturb the operation of the underworld. If you have time in the future, welcome Yama to Yang's Mansion at Guanjiangkou, let's have a heart-to-heart talk."

Yang Jian's words were true and false, but Yan Wang did not dare to disobey, so he nodded in response.Suddenly, a light wind blew past my ears, and when I looked up, Yang Jianren had already left.
