Crown Sword

Feeling empty after venting, Gongyangyue felt that she shouldn't waste her feelings for unimportant people, so she sneered, threw away all the stones at hand, dusted the ashes in her palms, and prepared to fill up abdomen.

He thought that tomorrow he would still go to class as usual, but he would not bow his head and admit his mistake.

The substitute teacher didn't disgust him, and after the conflict broke out, he couldn't even remember the person's name.It is understandable that these people who are closed in the valley are fond of daydreams. Before there is no absolute evidence to reverse the case of the Gongyang family, it is natural for others not to believe him. If you have not experienced your own past, let alone empathize.

Everything can be self-consistent. After all, everyone can only focus on the square in front of him, and cannot be omniscient, so it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong. As long as people don't trouble him, he is willing to continue to live in peace.

It's a pity that the more I think about it, the more I feel uncomfortable.

Yawning, Gong Yangyue randomly picked a piece of dogtail grass and put it in his mouth, and walked back with his hands in his sleeves, but just as he turned around, he bumped into Xia Houzhen who was chasing him.This guy had been following him for a day or two, he rolled his eyes, and bumped Xia Houzhen's shoulder hard as he passed sideways.

"Ram Moon!"

Xiahou was really a little angry, and called to stop him, very puzzled: "Why can't you try to accept others? Even if you really can't accept it, it's enough for you to ignore it as before, why do you have to be the same teacher?" Is Bo Zheng right or wrong?" It was originally a helpless sigh, but Xia Hou's voice was really anxious, but it was a feeling of questioning.

"It's not a big problem to have your own ideas. I also support you very much. I can even understand that you think that way because you used to... But Master is an elder after all..." Xiahou's popularity is not due to his so-called personality Charm, just because it is indifferent and not aggressive.He tried his best to explain, tried his best to smooth things over, he just hoped that the two of them could live in peace and not cause any rift.

But these words seem like an offense to the young and sensitive Ram Yue, especially when he has already figured it out and consciously does not hold grudges or seek trouble.

The rebellious teenager was inexplicably irritable.

This kind of emotion is full of chest but it is indescribable, just like when your mother told you not to pick up fat meat and eat more vegetables, you think it makes sense when you think about it, and you are about to put chopsticks on the plate, but your hand is about to reach out , but she scolded her head and face, saying that you ignored her words; just like you were in a hurry to buy your favorite apricot cake, but you met an old lady walking very slowly on the road, you can't rush or squeeze, and wait until you arrive at the shop. , only to find that the last drawer has just been sold out, and you don't know who to blame.

"I want you to care!" Gong Yangyue raised his voice and said forcefully, "I'm not a good person!" Remembering what he had just said, he went back and added: "Who asked you to try to understand me, what do you know! I don't need sympathy!"

Xia Houzhen hurriedly explained: "I'm not sympathetic, I just believe that human nature is good, you can also live in warmth and sunshine like me."

The corner of Gong Yangyue's mouth twitched, and he asked back: "Are you mocking me for living in darkness and filth?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I'm sorry, I..." Xia Houjin lowered his eyes, guilty and unbearable, flustered and worried, he stammered several times and wanted to speak, "I..."

"no need."

Gong Yangyue waved his hand and interrupted coldly.

After the people left, Xia Houzhen wandered in the mountains alone in frustration. He was unable to talk to others because of the loss of hitting a wall, because almost no one was optimistic about his attempt to change Gongyangyue. Even some uncles said that children cannot be taught , the huge 72 peaks of Jianshan, and only two elders, Liang Kunyu and Gu Xue, unconditionally supported his approach.

After walking like this, he came to Sacrifice Cliff, where Xia Houjin was practicing sword, and when he saw that he was lost, he asked why.

At first, Xiahou really didn't dare to speak, he was afraid that his grandfather would be worried, and he was even more afraid that his close relatives would hate Gongyangyue because of this, so he didn't tell the truth until after many times of questioning.

Xia Houjin has the best temper among the seven elders, perhaps because he is the fourth eldest, like the center of a scale, he is a typical good old man.After hearing what his grandson said, he called him to his side, and asked softly, "I don't care whether it's worth it or not. I'm just curious, why did you choose to help him, and why do you firmly believe that his heart is like a child?"

"The reason why my grandson persisted is because my grandson discovered that although Ayue was a bit rebellious, he seldom fought with his fellow disciples or teachers without saying a word. Most of the time, he was just defending and insisting on his own way. Although his Tao is different from others, it is not necessarily wrong, right? Moreover, he looks fierce and fierce, but in fact he has a soft heart. Last time, Junior Brother Zhang Shu caught birds and hares to practice sword stabbing. , Ah Yue used the competition as an excuse to trick them into letting them all go back to the forest, and one more time..."

Xia Houzhen opened his mouth and came, telling the story of Gongyangyue, it was endless.Xia Houjin squinted his eyes and listened to the end, and finally stroked his head and praised: "Zhen'er, you are born with a pair of eyes that discover kindness."

"Prejudice will teach people to look at the leopard and look at others. When judging, there are good and bad, and you can't choose to ignore it." Xia Houzhen smiled softly, "In my eyes, Ah Yue loses her temper like a child. It’s not that there is no cure.” He paused, raised his head, stared into the sky, and spoke loudly, “Grandfather, I hope I can become the person described by Lao Tzu as a man of virtue and benevolence, and treat everyone equally.”

Xia Houjin twirled his beard, noncommittal, just said: "Then do as you think is right."

After some chatting, Xia Houzhen felt relieved, regained his vigor like the sun, and rushed to Bijialiang where Gongyangyue lived.As soon as they arrived at Sanchakou, they saw Liang Kunyu knocking on the door from a distance, Gong Yangyue didn't invite him to sit down for a while, the two stood in front of the chaifei and said two or three words, afterward, Liang Kunyu handed out a letter from his sleeve.

After receiving the letter, Gong Yangyue, who had been fooling around just now, immediately straightened his face, his eyes trembled, less sharp, and a little weaker.

Xiahou really didn't bother him, he waited until Liang Kunyu left before he knocked on the door.There was no answer in the courtyard, he was a little nervous, seeing that the firewood door was not closed, he walked in quietly and slowly.

Gongyangyue sat obediently on the steps with her knees side by side, flattened the letter paper to her knees, and read it five times over and over again.

The letter came from the former sword master of "Jade City Xueling", and was sent to Sword Valley through the hands of his famous master Li Zhouyang.

When Gong Yangyue received the letter, his face was full of surprise, but his heart was full of nervousness and apprehension. He had not contacted the sender for several months. Thinking of the secret book he found in the sheath that night, he was afraid that the sudden message would be In order to ask for skills.

However, after reading the Zhan letter, the man said that he would give him the secret book, and warned him that if he wanted to make a vow to rehabilitate the Gongyang family in front of the Huaishui Ferry that day, he would be successful. , Until one day when the male flies into the sky, he has a chance to find out the truth and tell the world.

After reading it, Gongyangyue's heart was agitated, and he couldn't help crying for this wholehearted trust. After he made up his mind to practice hard, when he looked up, he saw Xiahou was really standing in front of the fence like a log.He hastily wiped away his tears with his sleeve, turned and entered the room, closing the door fiercely.

After a long time, he opened a crack and looked outside. Instead of leaving, Xia Houzhen helped him chop the firewood.

"Hey, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" Gong Yangyue simply opened the door.

The sudden invitation was obviously unexpected for Xia Houzhen, he hurriedly showed off his face and stepped forward happily.Gongyang Yue felt awkward, clicked his tongue, and subconsciously closed the door, almost pinching someone's nose.

However, Xia Hou really didn't mind, instead he kept giggling.

"There is no tea, so I can only treat you to a pot of mountain spring." Gong Yang Yue Yitong rummaged through it, and finally took out a clay pot from nowhere, and prepared to pick it up by the stream under the ridge.

Xia Houzhen took his seat in front of the window, covered by the bamboo curtain, so that he could not see Gongyangyue's movements. After hearing "a pot of mountain spring", he caught a glimpse of the celadon pot on the low cabinet, and he picked it up and poured himself a drink. He also reasoned: "There is no need to be so polite. Zhuang Zhou said that the so-called friendship between sages is as plain as water and not vain (Note)."

"Hey, don't drink!"

Xiahou was really frightened, holding the empty cup, and staring at him.

Gong Yangyue thought it was funny, held it in for a few times but didn't hold it back, and finally grabbed his arm and pushed him away, for fear that he would vomit in the room after he knew the truth: "Do you know what you drank? Yes... yes ...Water for washing feet, hahaha! Why are you so stupid, it was originally reserved for Zhang Shu!"

Xia Houzhen immediately retched while supporting the wooden porch pillar under the eaves, but when he heard the laughter and turned back, he stared dumbfounded——

This is the first time he has seen Gongyang Yuexiao, wanton and unruly, with longing eyes, not only a stunning beauty in the world, but a bliss in a bliss, which makes people look forward to extravagantly.

Who wants to be sad if they can live happily?

Because of this smile, Xia Houzhen was even more convinced that his persistence was right. He kept saying "it doesn't matter", but he didn't pay attention when he turned around. He clumsily knocked on the pile, ran and jumped away in embarrassment and restraint, and even forgot his martial arts. Just like a docile boy next door who steals nuts and is afraid of being caught.

His senior brother is actually not a few years older than Gong Yangyue.

"That..." Xia Houzhen wanted to ask the letterer, but remembering that all his relatives were dead, he didn't know how to speak for a while.Gong Yangyue followed his gaze, just said "elder" casually, his expression darkened, and immediately turned his face and issued an order to evict him, shutting him out of the house.

Thinking but not seeing, this reaction is perfectly normal.

Xia Houzhen observed his emotional changes before and after, and guessed that he was very eager to communicate with the outside of the valley, so he went to Liang Kunyu to ask for the cubs born this year from "Babaocha". This kind of white-feathered bird is psychic. .

Normally, Liang Kunyu must be selling him to save face, but unfortunately this year the old bird only gave birth to two cubs, the old man had no choice but to give them away, and refused.Xia Hou really tried his best to get one, and finally gave it to Gong Yangyue. He also drew up a lot of comforting words——

There is still a long way to go in life, don't be impulsive.

All the bad luck in the past is in exchange for good luck in the future.

Gong Yangyue was annoyed at being guessed by him, and after listening to him talking to himself, he opened the door and cursed and shut up.

"One more thing, the last sentence." Xia Houzhen stretched out a finger, smiling cleanly and fearlessly, "Life is like eating. If you eat a good dish today, you will be very happy. If the dishes in the Ming Dynasty are burnt, you will feel sad." .But no matter whether it is a good dish or a paste dish, it is just a dish, and it varies from day to day, and what I insist on eating for a lifetime is white rice, which is neither delicious nor unpalatable."

"Ah Yue, no matter what time it is, you must learn to let go of yourself."

"Say it again, I'll roast it and eat it!" Gong Yangyue threatened impatiently.

Xia Houzhen hurriedly waved his hands: "You can just hate me, don't hate it. When I grow up, I will ask Master Liang how to train sending letters." After speaking, he put down the bird basket and quickly backed out.

The young bird chirped and opened its mouth to beg for food. Gong Yangyue sat alone on the porch for a while, raised his eyes frequently, and finally brought the bird basket to him as if he had compromised, and went back to the house to grab green beans and feed them into the bird's beak. He patted Xiaoniao's head lightly, and said with a slight smile, "Hey, you are the son of 'Eight Treasures Tea', how about calling you 'Red Bean Cake'?"
