Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

The back mountain of Songshan Academy in Luzhou...

Bao Zheng walked slowly, stopping from time to time, and carefully picked the weeds on one side.

Gongsun Ce followed closely behind, also carefully paying attention to the things under his feet.

"Bao Zheng, are you sure that what Zongbang said is that the Muyan Flower is here?" Gongsun Ce raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. I have climbed so high, it is already noon now, and I haven't found the Mu Yan flower... But Gongsun Ce doesn't quite remember where he found the Mu Yan words...

Gongsun Ce was very upset.

"Take a break when you're tired." Bao Zheng turned his head and looked at Gongsun Ce who was wiping his forehead with his muddy hands, and said with a frown.

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not tired."

Bao Zheng walked over with a frown, and then shouted into the distance, "Zhan Zhao! Let's take a break!"

And with a whoosh, Zhan Zhao flew over.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bao Zheng, then at Gongsun Ce, with an expression of apology and gratitude, "Brother Bao, Brother Gongsun, I really trouble you!"

Bao Zheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his hand and patted Zhan Zhao's bald head, "What trouble are you talking about! What a fool!"

Zhan Zhao stroked the bald head being photographed, and smiled shyly, a little silly.

Gongsun Ce watched from the side and smiled slightly.

Thinking of the day before yesterday, after telling Zhan Zhao about Zhan Jun's death, Zhan Zhao's eyes were red but he refused to shed tears stubbornly. But at night, he followed the memory of his previous life and Bao Zheng to the bamboo forest, and he saw a bonfire burning. , Hugging Zhan Zhao who was weeping with his knees covered his mouth by the bonfire.

After some persuasion from them, Zhan Zhao still stubbornly refused to live in his house, and then Bao Zheng got angry, and after scolding him severely, Zhan Zhao followed him home with red eyes.

Today, thinking of the twilight flowers and dirt in Zhan Jun's nails, and the suspicious paint under Zhan Jun's body, he wanted to propose to come to the back mountain to look for clues, but he didn't think that Bao Zheng would be in the dark early in the morning. He knocked on his door with a straight face.

"Gongsun Ce! We must investigate this case ourselves!"

"Er..." They should have checked it themselves, but Wang Song is a villain who has no ability and only knows how to flatter!Rather than counting on them to investigate the case, it is better to count on the old world to be red and rainy!

And later, when he left the house and listened to the whispers in the streets and alleys, he knew the reason for Bao Zheng's disgrace. There were folk rumors that he, Gongsun Ce, was a murderer, and the reason was jealousy? !

If he wants to be jealous, he must also be jealous of Bao Zheng. The first place in the provincial examination is Gongsun Ce, No. 2 is Bao Zheng, Zhan Jun... only No. 4...

He looked at Zhan Zhao speechlessly, "Do you believe it?"

Zhan Zhao opened his exceptionally clear and clean round eyes, shook his head desperately, and said with a serious face, "Brother Gongsun is not a murderer!" After finishing speaking, he whispered, "Brother Gongsun doesn't even dare to kill a chicken... "

Gongsun Ce was embarrassed when he heard this.

Yesterday, Uncle Fu bought two chickens. He was so excited that he wanted to cook a few dishes by himself. He thought that the three of them from Kaifeng Mansion finally got together and wanted to celebrate, but who would have thought that the chickens would run away? It was fast, but he was holding the kitchen knife, but he couldn't do anything. When the commotion was messy, Zhan Zhao couldn't see it. With a flash of footsteps, he took the kitchen knife in his hand, and with a click, the chicken Glorious fall...

Gongsun Ce couldn't help stroking his forehead, it's not that he doesn't dare to kill chickens... Well, he admitted that since he had a nightmare, he was a little shy about the bloody scenes...

***********

He took a sip from the kettle, stood up, and just about to put the kettle down, Bao Zheng suddenly asked, "Is there any water?"

Gongsun Ce nodded, and in response, he threw the water bottle he had just taken a sip over. Bao Zheng took it and drank it with a gurgle.

After drinking, Bao Zheng smiled at Gongsun Ce, "Let's go, let's keep searching, we will definitely find it."

Gongsun Ce nodded, he must be able to find it, the twilight flower can only be found in the back mountain, and the murderous altar of the Yi people can only be found in the back mountain...

The three of them continued to move forward, looking for the twilight flower while pawing the grass. When they found halfway, the three of them gradually separated, with Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao on the side, and Gongsun Ce focused on searching ahead.

Zhan Zhao found one side and rubbed his throat. The water ran out when he ate the biscuits just now. Now he is very thirsty. He glanced at the water bottle on Bao Zheng's waist. Zhan Zhao said, "Brother Bao, I'm thirsty, give me Kettle."

Bao Zheng was taken aback, then touched the water bottle on his waist, and said solemnly, "There is no water." Then he untied his water bottle, and handed it to Zhan Zhao, "You know how to do light work, run fast, go to the spring over there Bring a pot back."

Zhan Zhao took it, tilting his head in confusion, "Brother Gongsun's water bottle is also empty, Brother Bao, give it to me too, I'll fill it together."

Without looking back, Bao Zheng continued to pick and pull the grass, and said calmly, "No need, Gongsun Ce doesn't like to drink the water from this spring."

Don't like to drink?Zhan Zhao is even more confused, isn't it?Brother Gongsun is not such a picky person.

Although puzzled, Zhan Zhao still turned around obediently, and disappeared after a few jumps. After Zhan Zhao disappeared, Bao Zheng calmly untied Gongsun Ce's water bottle from his waist, and drank it up with a few gulps. up.

**********

While pawing the grass, Gongsun Ce finally found the Muyan Flower behind a herb by relying on his own knowledge of medicinal herbs. His eyes lit up and he hurriedly shouted, "Bao Zheng! Zhan Zhao! I found the Muyan Flower!" !"

When Bao Zheng heard this, he ran over quickly, and Zhan Zhao, who had just returned from filling the water, landed beside Gongsun Ce after a few jumps.

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce's finger, sure enough!It's the evening flower!

"Brother Gongsun, is this Mu Yan Hua?" Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice, while staring at Bao Zheng as he carefully searched for something in the surrounding land of Mu Yan Hua.

"Yes. This is Mu Yanhua." Gongsun Ce nodded and said softly, seeing Zhan Zhao's dazed face, thinking about the past two days, Zhan Zhao also followed them in and out of the academy because of investigation and questioning, and also... Listen After hearing some words of dissatisfaction towards Zhan Jun, knowing that Zhan Zhao had always admired his brother the most in Zhan Zhao's heart, he whispered, "Your brother...is very talented and proud, but he, He is a sincere gentleman. He ruined Zongbang's Mu Yanhua, although what he said was not pleasant, but he still came here to find the most difficult to find Mu Yanhua, so that he can pay back to Zongbang."

Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at Gongsun Ce, and said seriously, "I know, even if he is wrong in every way, he is still my only brother, my best brother!"

"Come here." Suddenly, Bao Zheng stood up and shouted to them, frowning.

Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao hurried over, and when they came to Bao Zheng's side, Gongsun Ce followed Bao Zheng's line of sight and looked over. Is it a cave?

This is the altar of the murderous Yi clan, Gongsun Ce couldn't help frowning thinking of those hideous and terrifying statues he had seen in his previous life.

"Let's go in and have a look." Bao Zheng said, and moved forward, but Zhan Zhao hurriedly called out, "Brother Bao, wait a minute, you don't have martial arts, let me go first!"

Bao Zheng turned around and looked at Zhan Zhao. Seeing Zhan Zhao's tense and serious face, he couldn't help but smile, "Okay! Then let our Shaoxia Zhan go first!" Seeing that Gongsun Ce was still standing there frowning, he said Stepping forward, he lowered his head and asked in concern, "What's wrong?"

Gongsun Ce came back to his senses, and quickly shook his head, "I'm fine." Turning around, seeing that Zhan Zhao had already walked first, he hurriedly said, "Let's go."

Bao Zheng nodded. Seeing that Gongsun Ce was not only frowning, but his face was not very good, he took a step behind and walked behind Gongsun Ce. Looking at the thin figure, a thought flashed in his mind. Ce can't go home and have a good rest, um, he has to drink a bowl of chicken soup before the rest.

After entering the cave, there were some dim lights in front, it turned out that Zhan Zhao had already lit the torch.

Suddenly, Zhan Zhao at the front let out an exclamation, "Brother Bao! Brother Gongsun! Come and see!"

Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng looked at each other, and hurriedly followed the sound, and Gongsun Ce hurriedly shouted, "Zhan Zhao, be careful!"

As soon as Gongsun Ce's words fell, there were a few arrows piercing the air suddenly, Gongsun Ce's heart skipped a beat, it's not good!

At this time, Bao Zheng, who was following Gongsun Ce, reacted in time, and pulled Gongsun Ce aside and threw him down. Then, he heard Zhan Zhao's angry voice, "Kill someone with a hidden arrow!? What kind of hero are you!"

As soon as Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he heard the clang and clang of swords and swords, but it soon returned to calm.

At this time, Gongsun Ce hurriedly got up, turned his head to look at Bao Zheng who threw himself behind him, and asked worriedly, "Are you all right?"

Bao Zheng rubbed his forehead. He fell down too fast just now, and his forehead hit Gongsun Ce's head. It hurt a little. He didn't know if Gongsun Ce's headache hurt, so he raised his hand to caress the back of Gongsun Ce's head, and asked Said, "Are you okay? I seem to have bumped into you just now."

Being asked such a question, Gongsun Ce couldn't help but feel the pain in the back of his head. He wrinkled his bitter face and covered the back of his head, "Your head is really hard!"

Bao Zheng couldn't help laughing, "Who doesn't have a hard head?" Even so, Bao Zheng raised his hand and gently rubbed the back of Gongsun Ce's head, there really was a bag...

"Okay, it's all right." Gongsun Ce was caressed by Bao Zheng on the back of his head. Although his heart was very hot, it was not the time to care about the lump on the back of his head. "Let's go to Zhan Zhao."

"Yeah." Bao Zheng nodded in response, retracted his hands, thinking in his heart, Gongsun Ce's hair is really soft.

After finishing speaking, the two stood up and looked at Zhan Zhao who was running towards them.

"Are you okay?" Gongsun Ce lowered his head and asked in concern.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, glanced around the two of them hastily, then heaved a sigh of relief, and said angrily, "It's all because I was too careless!"

"What kind of person is that person?" Bao Zheng asked, while looking at the somewhat dark cave in there, "Let's talk as we walk."

"That man's martial arts is very high, and it's also very complicated." Zhan Zhao tilted his head thinking about the situation of the fight just now, and was very distressed, "I can't see where that man came from!"

"Since that person dares to attack you here, it means that he must have ulterior motives. How can he easily reveal his origin?" Gongsun Ce comforted, patted Zhan Zhao's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I know. You are good at martial arts, I didn't expect you to perform like this today."

When Zhan Zhao heard the words, his face turned red immediately, but his eyes were very bright. He looked up at Gongsun Ce, but his expression was a bit awkward, "That's what my master taught me!"

"That's right!" Bao Zheng looked at Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce who were talking happily, and suddenly said, "Zhan Zhao, although you are a lay disciple, you should have a dharma name, what is your dharma name? "
