Biography of Xi Shan

The sky is slightly bright, and the orange sun rises from the distant horizon. The sun dispels the moisture in the night, and the sparrows climb up the branches chirping.

The yawning young man muttered, "Why do you wake up so early, the wonton shop hasn't opened yet."

The man walking in front paused, turned around and slapped the young man on the back of the head, cursing, "What are you talking about? Are you in charge or I am in charge?"

"Hey, of course you have the final say. Master, you see there is a hawker in front of you. Shall I buy you something to eat?"

Lu Zhanbai rolled his eyes, threw him a piece of silver, and said, "Go buy it."

The little apprentice smiled and took the money and ran away.

"Master, Junior Brother Zhao Ran is really too unstable." The one who spoke was an older young man who looked more resolute than Zhao Ran, with a heroic look on his brows.

Lu Zhanbai said: "Let him go. If you don't have a long memory, you deserve it if you suffer in the future."

Sun Yuzhi lowered his voice and said, "Master, why are we in such a hurry to go to the Wuji Sect?"

"As a teacher, I can't trust Murong Lianhe, and I can't trust Chen Daozhen. That guy is very cunning. He took Liu Muyan's apprentice to the Land of No Desire for no reason. I don't think things are that simple."

Sun Yuzhi paused, then pondered: "Master, are you worried about Liu Muyan's apprentice?"

Lu Zhanbai slowly turned his face to the side, looked at him with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "You also named Liu Muyan?"

"I know my mistake." Sun Yuzhi suddenly knelt down, "I know my mistake, please forgive me, Master."

"Respect Liu Muyan from now on, otherwise I will never spare you next time, get up."

Sun Yuzhi stood up tremblingly, wondering in his mind, his master has always been arrogant and frivolous, even those seniors who have accomplished martial arts are also not looked down upon, but he actually attaches great importance to this Liu Muyan. What origin.

Zhao Ran bought some food and rushed over, grinning and approaching Lu Zhanbai, and said obediently: "Master, eat first, and I'll buy you some good ones on the way."

Lu Zhanbai sneered and said: "I think you are very greedy, look at your promise."

Zhao Ran smiled and said, "I'm not...Master, there seems to be someone there." Zhao Ran squinted his eyes and looked around the corner, there were indeed legs exposed.

He walked over slowly, and saw a young man lying on the ground covered in blood, with beads of sweat dripping from his pale face.

Lu Zhanbai took a closer look and frowned slightly.

Zhao Ran said: "Master, this kid seems to be a disciple of the Xishan School."

Lu Zhanbai suddenly lowered his face and said, "Take him back to the inn."

Lin Zixiao opened his eyes in a daze, and found that he was born in a strange place, and there was a person sitting at the table who was boringly peeling peanuts.

"Yo, Master, he's awake."

Lu Zhanbai played with the dagger in his hand, and said with a smile: "The lottery of Murong Lianhe actually came into your hands, but I saved you, so this should be your thank you gift."

Lin Zixiao stared blankly ahead, without a single ripple on his face.

Lu Zhanbai frowned, put the red fish away, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you, a little bastard, to be a bit courageous. Not only did you dare to kill people, but you also picked other people's happy days."

Lin Zixiao whispered repeatedly: "I killed, I killed, I killed."

"Look at your prospects, who in this rivers and lakes doesn't have blood on their hands? It's better for you to kill people than to kill you."

"Xishan sect disciples don't kill people." Lin Zixiao said with a sob in his throat.

Lu Zhanbai sneered and said: "The Xishan faction has the supreme martial arts and a pivotal position, so they can say that they don't kill people easily. Besides, the master only said that he would not kill people. You are all fools and dare to follow the example of the master. , if it wasn't because of the great achievements of the Xishan faction, how about your virtue? I want to stab you to death with a sword, out of sight, out of mind!"

"I beg Master Lu to take my life, please do it." Lin Zixiao rolled out of bed, knelt on the ground and said weakly.

Lu Zhanbai was hurt by his anger, kicked him on the ground, and cursed: "Liu Muyan raised you shameless white-eyed wolves, each of you will find trouble for him, if you want to die, go quickly!" Die, don't be tired Liu Muyan wipes your ass every day."

Lin Zixiao sat on the ground slumped, looking at the sword beside the bed and unconsciously trembling.

Lu Zhanbai said: "If you don't die, go back to the Xishan faction and let Liu Muyan save some food. Yuzhi, tie him back to the Xishan faction for me, don't let him get into trouble."

"The apprentice takes the order."

Lu Zhanbai sighed bitterly, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys ached from anger.

Autumn has passed without knowing it, and the weather is getting cooler.There are four distinct seasons in the Land of No Desire, the daytime is considered warm, but at night it is cold enough to make one shiver.

On this day, several little dolls came running together. The leader was a well-built little boy, wrapped in a thick coat, and he looked very strong.

The witch was sitting on the steps of the door, and when she saw them coming, she bared her teeth and threatened them.

The little girls here are all afraid of the witch, but these little devils are bold and have thrown mud at the witch before.

The boy who took the lead was called A Wang. He stepped forward arrogantly and said with a grin, "Where's Jing Ji? Tell him to come out."

The witch's face was sullen, and her voice was hoarse: "What do you want to do?"

Awang waved his hand and said old-fashionedly: "It's none of your business, tell him to come out."

The witch was holding an unformed padded jacket in her hand, and there were needles, thread and scissors in the basket next to her feet.She narrowed her eyes, grabbed the scissors and said viciously: "Get out of here, if you don't get out, I'll make your faces blossom!"

The little dolls shrank back in fright, you looked at me and you all looked at Awang in the end.

Awang was also afraid, but he is the king of children, how could he be like a turtle.He stammered and said: "You, you dare to bully me, I will tell my mother to go."

The witch smiled sinisterly.

A Wang was really panicked, Jing Ji had already heard the sound and came out of the room, he blinked his eyes and raised his chin and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

Awang stabilized his mind and asked loudly: "Are you the hero the patriarch said?"

Jing Ji shook his head in confusion.

Awang frowned, slowly took out a handful of candied fruit from his pocket, pretending to be calm and said: "This is for you to eat, you play with us, I will take you to dig out the eggs."

The witch's hands trembled, and she put the scissors back into the basket, and sewed the padded jacket in her hand stitch by stitch.

Jing Ji squatted down with a smile, her body was at the same level as Awang, and said, "You can eat, and you take me to play, it is my filial piety to you."

Awang nodded maturely, turned around but showed a shy smile.

The witch gave a rare smile, and spun the thread with a flying needle.

Jingji went out with a few children, but luckily they didn't go too far. Sitting at the door, the witch could see a group of children running happily in the field.

As soon as Jing Ji left, Xiaowan came back.

She was wearing a new bright red dress today, which made her palm-sized face very fair and delicate.

Seeing the witch sitting at the door, Xiao Wan shrank her neck subconsciously and said in a low voice, "Ms. Wu, I brought some freshly picked vegetables over here."

The witch narrowed her eyes, her eyes were very cold, but for a moment she thought of something, and her eyes softened again.She ignored Lin Xiaowan, just looked at Jingji's carefree figure in the distance, and then thought about her eerie appearance, feeling anxious and at a loss for what to do.

The witch lowered her head in shame, suddenly picked up the clothes and baskets, and ran towards the room with a depressed expression.

Lin Xiaowan was already very used to the witch's strange behavior, seeing her running away in a panic, he was relieved, and walked to the kitchen with a basket in his hand.

The kitchen door was open, Lin Xiaowan walked to the door, and saw Chen Daozhen busy in the kitchen.

Chen Daozhen was wearing plain old clothes, and the black clothes outlined his slender body.He frowned, looked at the pots and pans in front of him helplessly, and his eyes fell on a pile of firewood.

Lin Xiaowan walked into the kitchen and said with a chuckle, "Brother Chen, let me go." She put down the basket, rolled up her sleeves and was ready to tidy up.

Chen Daozhen frowned, seeing that Xiao Wan was wearing a new suit, he refused, "No need, tell me what to do, I'll do it."

Lin Xiaowan raised his head, he was standing very close to Chen Daozhen, he could clearly see every expression on his face.

Chen Daozhen cleaned the potatoes, and held the kitchen knife uncomfortably. His fingers were very slender, with distinct joints, and full and round nails.

Lin Xiaowan suddenly blushed, how could there be such a good-looking man, who exudes a unique aura from all over his body, even if he wears the same clothes as everyone else, he can't conceal his noble temperament.

Chen Daozhen quickly adapted to the cooking environment, the kitchen knife turned freely in his hand, the potatoes were cut as thin as a hair, and neatly placed on the cutting board.

Xiao Wan laughed: "Brother Chen, you cut it too finely, so it can't be fried."

Chen Daozhen frowned furiously.

Xiaowan hurriedly said: "Why don't you just chop it into a puree, you can make a potato pancake."

Chen Daozhen pursed his lips, and turned the kitchen knife quickly in his hand.

"Brother Chen, you are not in good health yet, so Xiaojing won't help you." Lin Xiaowan smiled and sighed, "Xiaojing is too playful, like a child."

Chen Daozhen paused in his hands, and said slowly: "You don't need his help, as long as he is having fun."

Lin Xiaowan was very envious, and said sincerely: "You two have such a good relationship."

Chen Daozhen couldn't help but raised his lips when he heard the words, and the expression on his face softened instantly.

Lin Xiaowan blushed like a ripe persimmon, and said in a nasty voice, "Brother Chen...are you married yet?"

Chen Daozhen couldn't help laughing, like the warm sunshine melting the winter snow, even his eyes were full of smiles, he smiled and nodded, without hesitation: "It's pretty much it."

Lin Xiaowan's face turned pale for a while, she didn't have the time to think about what it means to be "well", just by looking at Chen Daozhen's expression, she knew that he already had his own heart.

Her eyes were red, she turned her head and took a few deep breaths, and said after a while, "Brother Chen, why don't I come?"

"It's okay, don't get your new clothes dirty." Chen Daozhen was in a good mood at the moment, and he said a few more words.

Lin Xiaowan sighed sadly in his heart, but then he thought about it, how could Brother Chen, such a good person, not marry a wife and have children? After all, it was not her fate.

Chen Daozhen is a quick learner, and he can master simple dishes as soon as he learns them.People here eat lightly, and the dishes are naturally uncomplicated.

Suddenly, Chen Daozhen suddenly asked: "When did Aunt Wu come here?"

Lin Xiaowan thought for a while and said: "I was not born at that time, and I also heard from some old people that in the year when Mr. Wu's daughter passed away, Mr. Wu saved Aunt Wu. At that time, Aunt Wu was crazy. Mr. Wu had just died of his daughter, so he brought Mrs. Wu here, and lived with each other for many years."

"Actually, the patriarch doesn't allow the clansmen to go out secretly, but Mr. Wu is the only Gu master here, and he is very respected." Lin Xiaowan rolled up his sleeves, and there was a red mole on his wrist. She pointed to the red mole and continued. Said: "This is Longevity Gu. My mother said that Mr. Wu planted it for me. Mr. Wu looks very weird, but he has a kind heart. He will give each child a longevity Gu. This kind of Gu can eliminate disasters." It can cure diseases, but it will only be useful if planted before the first year of life, otherwise the Gu will not survive."

When Chen Daozhen thought of Wu Mang's crazy appearance now, he felt a sigh of relief.

Chen Daozhen asked: "Do you know the way out?"

Lin Xiaowan shook his head and said, "You have to ask the patriarch about this, but you don't have to worry, Brother Chen, since the patriarch has recognized you, he won't make things difficult for you."

Chen Daozhen nodded seriously, he was not worried about these, but worried about the witch.

While the two were talking, Jing Ji ran in, hanging on Chen Daozhen's back covered in sweat.

"Xiao Wan, you're here, stay for dinner." Jing Ji straightened her clothes and scratched her head in embarrassment.

Chen Daozhen pulled him to his side, wiped off the sweat on the tip of his nose with his fingertips, and scolded with a smile: "Go and wipe your face."

Lin Xiaowan looked at Jing Ji with a smile, and said, "No, I'm going home, my mother is still waiting for me."

After Jing Ji sent her out, he hurriedly washed his face and ran back to the kitchen.

Chen Daozhen made three dishes and one soup in a decent manner, Jing Ji helped him take it out, and called Aunt Wu to come to eat.

A few days passed in peace like this, and everyone tacitly did not mention the matter of leaving.

But the witch knew in her heart that that day was not far away after all.
