four,

The next day, Yang Jian and Zhan Zhao bid farewell and left, and soon left the mountain under Yang Jian's leadership.Looking back at the peak of Mount Hua almost hidden in the clouds, with a faint mist spreading out for a radius of hundreds of miles, Zhan Zhao could hardly remember which direction he came out from, and couldn't help but secretly startled.

Yang Jian said: "Okay, there is a bustling town at the foot of the mountain, and the population has also increased. Let's take a walk in the town and see if there is any news."

Zhan Zhao nodded obediently, and said, "That's fine, just listen to the second brother."

When he came to the town, he found an inn to stay in. Zhan Zhao saw that the inn was very ostentatious and estimated that the cost would not be low. He was a little embarrassed and shy, but he saw that Yang Jian casually snatched the 50 taels of official silver Photographed on the desk of the shopkeeper, the slippery old shopkeeper was so fascinated that his eyes narrowed, and he smiled with wrinkles on his face: "What do you want to tell the guest officer, even if you say..." As he spoke, there was nothing left. He bluntly copied the ingot of silver into his sleeve, and secretly tried the weight of the silver, the smile on his face became more and more flattering.

Zhan Zhao is a little funny, money really can turn ghosts around, a large silver ingot of 50 taels seems to make the shopkeeper happy, but in fact he can't blame the merchant for being snobby, 50 taels of silver is enough for a small family to live for a year, and he Such a profit is of course very happy.But he was secretly surprised that Yang Jian didn't look like a nouveau riche at all. His breezy aura and his cultivation from the inside out were definitely not pretentious. It's hard to see that he would carry so much money hit the road.

Yang Jian's stomach is funny, he has always been too lazy to do things, he knows what is the most direct and clear way to do things, so he adopted the most effective method, so what he said is also very simple: "Put the back most inward Let me live in the private courtyard for a few days, and I will pay for any expenses first, and I will give you a reward if I wait for you later. Yang Jian was being polite, knowing that 50 taels of silver was enough to cover that small yard for half a year in this not-so-prosperous mountain town.

The shopkeeper personally brought Yang and Jian to the backyard. It was quiet but not remote. There was a vestibule across the screen wall. There were about six or seven rooms in the small courtyard. Although they were a bit old, they were cleaned very cleanly. The pasted white cotton paper does not feel musty when it enters the house.

Yang Jian nodded in satisfaction to indicate that the shopkeeper could leave. The shopkeeper withdrew his eyes and left. Soon, a waiter came in to deliver hot water and toilet utensils. Yang Jian couldn't help admiring the old shopkeeper. It was so meticulous.Yang Jian can be regarded as an extremely human minister in the heavenly court. He is used to seeing the flattery of the gods and gods in the four directions. What's the matter, but Zhan Zhao has always been simple and has few entourages around him, and he is born in the Jianghu, so he doesn't care about these hospitality, so he is a little unnatural when greeting the store.

Yang Jian looked in his eyes and said: "What? Don't you think there are no servants to serve the dignified officials of the fourth grade of the Nanxia court? Even if the Kaifeng Mansion is so stingy, didn't Brother Zhan ever have a maid by his side when he was at home? As far as I know , the Zhan family can be considered a big family in the south of the Yangtze River..."

When Zhan Zhao heard the word "Zhanjia", his expression was a little strange, the bright light in his eyes dimmed for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, he paused for a while, and said with a faint smile: "Second brother is really well-informed. I have heard about things far away in the south of the Yangtze River..." Maybe he felt that his tone was a bit unkind, Zhan Zhao was a little embarrassed, so he softened his tone and explained: "I left home to practice martial arts with my master when I was living at home. Short, even a person is used to it.”

None of these subtle changes escaped Yang Jian's eyes. Yang Jian looked at Zhan Zhao, but Zhan Zhao had already turned around and walked towards the back room. Yang Jian understood that it was because Zhan Zhao didn't want to continue this topic anymore.I don't know why Yang Jian's heart swayed slightly, something faintly stirred up a layer of ripples in the heart lake, Yang Jian is really interested in this mortal in front of him now.

After simply washing his body, his whole body became refreshed all of a sudden, and Zhan Zhao couldn't help but feel comfortable.Shaking off the clothes and getting ready to put them on, he secretly frowned. He chased the murderer so fast that he didn't have time to get his luggage. The original few changes of clothes were left in the previous office. This dress feels a bit heavy when I take it out.

Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at it, and finally sighed and was about to put it on, but suddenly he heard Yang Jian's plain voice saying, "The clothes are in the outer room."

Zhan Zhao looked back in surprise, but he didn't find Yang Jian's figure. When he lifted the curtain, he saw all the obscene long gowns hanging on the back of the armchair.Zhan Zhao picked it up on his body and compared it to the right size, so he put it on unceremoniously, and it fit very well, even if the clothes were tailored, he didn't know where Yang Jian could find such a suitable tailor-made clothes.

Zhan Zhao thought that Yang Jian had gone out while he was taking a bath. Hearing the sound, he should be in the yard right now, but he didn’t see Yang Jian when he went out, so he went to the room where Yang Jian was resting in the east wing. The door was wide open. Yang Jian was not in the house even when he was driving.Zhan Zhao observed it attentively, but there was silence, the cicadas were still chirping on the trees in the courtyard, and the noise in the vestibule could be faintly heard through the screen wall, but there was no one there.

Zhan Zhao whispered suspiciously: "Could it be that the second brother Kung Fu left again when I changed my clothes?"

Anyway, he didn't have any luggage, so there was no need to close the door, so Zhan Zhao stood in the courtyard for a while, then left the small courtyard and went straight to the front courtyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the small courtyard, he heard a barking dog, which startled Zhan Zhao, but when he looked down, he saw a thin-waisted black dog rubbing against his feet.

This black dog is no stranger to him. He has seen it in the valley before. Zhan Zhao squatted down and stroked the smooth and soft fur of the black dog, and said with a low smile, "Why did you follow me? Didn't you stay with the Taoist priest?" ? Or does your master have something to do?"

This black dog was exactly the Roaring Sky Dog, and the cozy Roaring Sky Dog that was being stroked by Zhan Zhao let out a low whimper, but couldn't open his mouth because of the pain of returning to its original shape, so it had to bite the corner of Zhan Zhao's robe and drag it towards the courtyard. Immediately understood: "Second brother, do you want me to wait for him in the house?"

Xiao Tiangou nodded, Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing, how could this dog nod as if he could understand what he said.But he followed the Xiaotian dog obediently and turned back to the house.

Zhan Zhao hugged the Xiaotian dog into his arms, patted its head gently, and asked, "Did the second brother come back just now? Where did you go now? You must have had a hard time walking out of the mountains, right?" After a while, I will ask the shop assistant to bring you some meat and bones, okay?"

Xiaotiangou leaned against Zhan Zhao's warm embrace and reluctantly left, thinking that this man was really nice, and he had something good to eat for himself, if it wasn't for fear of scaring him, Xiaotiangou couldn't help but fantasize about it Xingxing wants to have a drink with him.

Xiao Tiangou was getting carried away, but suddenly heard Yang Jian coldly saying: "When did you become so unruly?" Although the voice was soft, it scared Xiao Tiangou, and suddenly a stick jumped out of Zhan Zhao's arms to please him Lying on Yang Jian's footsteps, Yang Jian didn't mean to have a seizure, but just as soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiao Tianquan nestled in Zhan Zhao's arms. blurted out.

After finishing speaking, seeing Xiaotiangou's panicked look, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful, he and Xiaotiangou had been in love for thousands of years, and it was rare for him to have such a cold attack on him, so he must have scared him a lot.

But I don't know why I feel like this.

Covering up, he patted Xiao Tianquan on the head to appease him, Xiao Tianquan flicked his tail in satisfaction and followed Yang Jian.

Zhan Zhao has already stood up, and Zhan Zhao still has a surprised expression at the swift movement of the Roaring Dog just now, but thinking about how extraordinary his master is, how could his dog be so bad?

Zhan Zhao stepped forward and said, "Second brother is back." He didn't ask anything, as if Yang Jian's call to him to change clothes just now was just an illusion of his own.

Yang Jian stared at him. He thought that Zhan Zhao would at least ask about his whereabouts, and maybe he would be curious about how he could come and go without a trace, but Zhan Zhao's expression was sincere and unaffected, as if he was just going out. Just a casual walk.

Is he waiting for himself to give him an explanation?Yang Jian smiled secretly, but there was no expression on his face, he just nodded slightly and said, "Come with me." Then he turned around and went to his own residence in the East Wing.

Zhan Zhao followed and entered the room. Yang Jian took out a sword and handed it over, asking, "Is this your sword?"

Zhan Zhao raised his eyes and suddenly became a little excited. He stepped forward to take the sword in Yang Jian's hand, and gently pulled out the sword. The sword light like autumn water was imminent. It was Zhan Zhao's Juque Divine Soldier.

Zhan Zhao's hand was suddenly as stable as a rock. When he woke up from a serious injury, he didn't see the sword in his hand. He thought he had lost it when he fell off the cliff. He felt a little regretful in his heart, but his life was an accident, so why should he think about anything else.Zhan Zhao is delighted to have lost the divine weapon that has been by his side since he was practicing art.

Yang Jian stood by Zhan Zhao's side and looked at Zhan Zhao quietly, seeing that his warm face suddenly became solemn, the light of the sword's edge reflected into his eyes, and his figure suddenly became fierce like an unsheathed sword. Ling Li was wrapped and softened by his innate gentleness and mellowness, becoming a force not to be underestimated.

This feeling made Yang Jian's heart beat slightly, with a strange rhythm, familiar yet unfamiliar.

After a while, Zhan Zhao put his sword back into its sheath, and he had recovered his slightly shy look, and asked, "Where did you find the second brother?"

Yang Jian withdrew his gaze, turned around and said indifferently: "I didn't find it, it was an old man in the mountains, I guess it was your lost weapon, that's why I sent my dog ​​to bring it here, you just said you wanted to find some meat and bones to reward him, then It really should be, it was hard for him to carry such a heavy sword all the way." Having said that, Yang Jian smiled inadvertently when he lowered his head, what effort did Xiao Tiangou spend? But it took less than half an hour to drive a cloud, so it was hard work. In fact, I spent energy on walking this journey with Zhan Zhao.Thinking about it, I haven't really walked such a long way since I became a saint.

Zhan Zhao had already put down the giant que, smiled and bent over to hug Xiao Tiangou, and said, "Okay, I'm treating you..." Suddenly, he blushed when he thought of something, turned to look at Yang Jian, and said in a low voice, "But, I do not have money……"

Yang Jian said with a smile: "I can pay in advance, but you will want me to be the one in the future." As he spoke, he stepped forward to take the Xiaotian dog calmly, rolled up his sleeves and followed a soft force to hold Xiaotian Tiangou put it on the ground and said, "Go back after you've eaten. I haven't finished what I arranged for you to do, so don't waste your time."

Zhan Zhao was a little confused when he heard it, but he had already seen Xiao Tiangou cuddling Yang Jian's leg reluctantly, whining as if begging, and realized that Yang Jian was talking to this dog just now, and couldn't help turning around with a smile. He turned his head to cover it up.

Yang Jian rubbed against the Xiaotian dog, but didn't speak again. The Xiaotian dog knew his master's temperament, and barked twice in dissatisfaction, ran to Zhan Zhao's feet and pulled it again. Zhan Zhao smiled and took him out to eat meat and bones up.

Watching Zhan Zhao's figure turn over the screen wall, Yang Jian let out a sigh of relief, couldn't help rubbing his chest, as if that strange feeling still lingered in his heart, how long has there been nothing in the world that can make his heart move?

It's been so long that I don't even remember...

Yang Jian slowly closed his eyes and muttered, "Zhan Zhao..."
