beg for chivalry

Jin Shiba was squatting leisurely next to the mountain gate with the Yanyue knife dangling, a pair of indifferent eyes looking at the movement in the dense forest through the cover-up Asura mask.

Today he will guard the mountain gate.For the "Jin" character department, which is good at killing and cutting, this leisurely work can be regarded as overkill, and it can even be called a kind of humiliation.But Jin Shiba didn't talk about it, he just felt that it was really annoying that he didn't have anyone to chat with.Although this person looks cold and heartless, he is actually an uncontrollable talkative, who loves to gossip.

"Jin Shiba!" Someone called him.The assassin looked under the eaves, and saw a pretty girl in a golden skirt smiling at him—it was their third lady who was waiting for the sky.

"Miss San, what are your orders?" Jin Shiba jumped down from the mountain gate, knelt down in front of the girl like a flying swallow, and asked with his head bowed.

Zuo Sanniang said arrogantly. "Take off the mask."

Hearing this, the assassin in black took off his mask, revealing a young and handsome face.The third lady looked at his face carefully for a while, smiling happily for a while, and sighing for a while: she saw that all the Houtianlou assassins were born exactly alike, but for some reason only Jin Wu seemed to be different from others.There seemed to be an unshakable ruthlessness in that person's bones, even if he was not right, he couldn't do anything about it.

Thinking of this, she put her hands on her hips and asked with a frown. "Where's Jin Wu?"

"At Panlong Mountain." Jin Shiba replied. "The Thousand Monks Association is just around the corner. The host wants to use this to take down 36 temples in one fell swoop. The 'Water' character department is looking for news, and will capture Guangde Temple in two days."

It turned out that Jin Wu was really not having fun fishing and hunting birds in Panlong Mountain before, but was paying attention to the terrain and investigating the situation of various temples, waiting for Qiansenghui to kill people.After Sanniang suddenly understood, she sighed helplessly: that boy looked like he was playing around and doing whatever he wanted, but he was really an assassin.

Thinking of this, she smiled at Jin Shiba. "...I want to ask you about Jin Wu."

Even though Zuo Buzheng said harsh words to her that day, telling her not to deal with the black-clothed boy anymore, Third Miss still held a grudge against him.She thought in her heart: "Sister won't let me touch him, I don't want to see that bastard yet! After I avenge the previous punch, I don't care if he dies in the wilderness."

So she still boldly went around to look for Jin Wu's whereabouts, and today she found Jin Shiba again.

Hearing her words, Jin Shiba's eyes sparkled.He looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one there, he bowed his head to Sanniang. "The landlord has an order, whoever speaks indiscreetly about the affairs of the landlord will die."

The third young lady smiled, put on the small pouch with the poisonous needle in one hand: "If you don't tell me, I will make your life worse than death."

She blinked mischievously again and said coquettishly. "Jin Shiba, don't you feel bored guarding the mountain gate empty? You must be itching and want to find someone to talk about. If I turn around and walk away now, you have to stay here Can you really bear it if you keep silent for seven days?"

Jin Shiba frowned slightly.

It was indeed a fatal thing for him not to speak.Don't look at him trembling and reticent in front of the landlord and the third lady, he actually has a lot of complaints in his stomach, but he just has nowhere to pour them out.

Sanniang saw that his throat was rolling, and he was about to talk, so she hurriedly pulled him to persuade him. "You also told me about Jin Wu before. You were not afraid of death at that time, but why are you afraid now? If you don't tell me, I will tell my sister that you have a big mouth and love to inform. Alas, your mouth must still be there at that time." , but I have no life to talk anymore."

Jin Shiba couldn't resist her, so he stood up and asked in her ear. "What does Miss San want to know?"

Sanniang blinked. "When did Jin Wu come to Houtianlou?"

The assassin said. "People in Houtian Tower don't ask about their background. It's not that I dare not answer, but I don't remember. I don't even remember my own background, so how can I answer the question of the young master's background? Even if you ask the young master himself, he It may not be possible to answer.”

The girl was annoyed. "Why don't you just say 'I don't know'?"

She didn't get the answer she wanted, and Jin Shiba was talking too much, which really made her uncomfortable.

Jin Shiba said. "Miss San let me speak at ease, so why go back on what I said? It is Miss San's order to speak, and it is also Miss San's request to keep silent. How can this teach people how to behave?"

Sanniang didn't want to chat with him, so she waved her hands. "Enough is enough. Let me ask you, why did Jin Wu become the young landlord? Is there any reason for it?"

"Maybe it's good-looking." Jin Shiba stroked his chin and thought.

Third Miss glared at him. "Don't you all have the same face? You bastard, you still want to take this opportunity to praise yourself!"

"Although it is the same face, there are still some differences in appearance." Jin Shiba replied without feeling embarrassed. "Miss San also knows that everyone who enters the building has used face-washing medicine, and it is impossible to make the face perfect, but it is said that the young master...has never used face-washing medicine, and he was born very close to the person the master loves Similar, can be said to be exactly the same."

Zuo Sanniang took a closer look at Jin Shiba's appearance.Maybe it was because of what he said, now she felt that she could really see some difference from the eyebrows.If one day these two people are compared together, maybe some differences can be seen.

"Just because you are born exactly the same, you can secure the seat of the young landlord?" She asked.

Jin Shiba shook his head. "Naturally there are more than this reason."

"Why is that?"

The assassin hesitated for a while, which is rare, before speaking. "Because the young host is... very strong."

"Strong?" Miss San asked puzzled. "Isn't he the fifth in the 'Golden' department? There are four people before him, why can't they be the landlord?"

Although she had already seen that Jin Wu was quick and agile, she hadn't found anything extraordinary about him that would make other Houtianlou assassins willingly bow their heads.She frowned when she thought of the black-clothed boy who was idle all day long and hunted birds all over the mountains and plains for fun.

Jin Shiba said. "Those four people are dead, the young master is indeed the strongest person under the master." He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said again. "...Even so, it's not the whole reason for being a 'young landlord'."

The girl was very curious and asked. "Then why?"

The assassin in black was not in a hurry to answer him, but looked up and recalled leisurely. "There is a rumor among us...About two years ago, Mrs. Hongzhu from the Zuichun Garden of the Southern School had met the Young Master and had a brief fight with him."

San Niang couldn't help being a little curious.Two years ago, that means that Jinwu should be in his early ten years old at that time.Whose child is not inexperienced in the world at this age, only knows to get muddy in the mountains, go into the water to catch fish and shrimp?Jin Wu, who was only ten years old, met the masters of the Southern School at that time. I don't know whether it should be said to be reckless or courageous enough.

"How did it turn out?" she asked anxiously.

Sanniang had heard Zuo Buzheng briefly mention Mrs. Hongzhu in Zuichunyuan before, but she only knew that this person was the most consummate figure in soft kung fu in the previous generation.She seems to be a weak woman, but she can take charge of the Southern faction on her own, making it difficult for the Northern faction Luan Shandao to do nothing.

"There are more than a thousand volumes in the book collection pavilion of Zuichunyuan. The young master entered the bookstore for three nights, and actually wrote down all the martial arts volumes and dismantled them with Ming Hongzhu. After the war, Mrs. Hongzhu only left one word. "

A look of Zhuang Ning suddenly appeared on Jin Shiba's face. "She said: 'This son's ingenuity is astounding in the world, one eye can master the sword, and hundreds of weapons can be used with one hand'."

-

The cold forest is empty and the shadows of the sun are slanting.The autumn wind rustled, stirring up red oranges and withered leaves.

Jin Wu sat cross-legged on the ground, and set up a picture array with stones in front of him.This scene is here and there, ordinary people seem to be children messing around, but in the eyes of young people, there is nothing magical about it.He has the talent of photographic memory, once he reads it, he will never forget it for life, even the chess records that he hastily flipped through in the Zuichun Garden three years ago, he still remembers clearly, and now he lays out the chess formation according to his memory.

The formation he set up at this time is also known as the "Tiangang Formation".This killing array is derived from the chess game, the 36 pieces are unpredictable, and the overall situation can be changed by moving the heaven and earth.Jin Wu was contemplative, broke up and settled down several times, and no one except himself could see the meaning of this action.

The shadows of the trees flickered, Jin Shiba poked his head out from among the branches and leaves above his head, and said. "Young master, the third lady just came to look for you again."

Jin Wuzheng looked at the chess formation silently, frowning slightly, looking a little dazed.He was holding a piece between his fingers, and was worrying about where it landed, when he heard Jin Shiba suddenly make a sound, his wrist flicked, almost ruining the whole chess game.

The black-clothed assassin jumped off the tree and turned his head away.This person is very gossip, he always likes to gossip, but listen to him whispering in Jin Wu's ear. "To be honest, does Miss San have a crush on you? Not only does she want to look for you every day, but she also always wants to hear about you. I think this is called "I'm very excited, and I want to be your daughter-in-law."

Jin Wu turned his head away and asked, "Eighteen, how many mouths do you have?"

Jin Shiba: "Needless to say? A person has two eyes, two ears, but only one mouth."

"Since I only have one mouth, why do I hear nonsense that can't be said by two mouths?" Jin Wu asked, frowning slightly.

Jin Shiba also answered him seriously. "Because the young master has two ears, I listen to it once with the left ear and once with the right ear, so I think it's too much. In fact, what I said is just what I can say in one mouth, so I don't expect others to think it's too much."

In fact, he really doesn't talk much, but Houtianlou Assassins are always taciturn, and if they can keep their mouths shut, they don't say much.So Jin Shiba can be regarded as an outlier.

Jin Wu said. "Mynah, I think you're just a robin with a broken tongue, and you don't stop talking." He grabbed a handful of soil and sand from the ground, rubbed them into pieces and threw them straight to the golden eighteen faces, and shouted at the same time. "I can't close my ears, so I can only ask you to shut up!"

Jin Shiba saw that his eyelashes were trembling slightly and his eyes were sharp. He knew that any topic involving the landlord and the third lady would make him feel uncomfortable, so he stopped mentioning it and changed his mind. "The young host has such a temper, I'm afraid he will be lost for the rest of his life."

This remark was originally a joke, Jin Shiba and Jin Wu got close, and they often chatted a lot on weekdays.Unexpectedly, Jin Wu paused suddenly, and slowly retracted the hand that was stretched out to hit him.

The boy is plain and authentic. "Where is the rest of my life?"

He stared at Jin Shiba for a long while, then slowly bent down to gather the stones used to make a chess formation, and when he raised his eyes, his expression was a little dazed.

Let alone next year, it is doubtful whether we can even see the dawn of tomorrow.For them, there is no clear boundary between life and death, and they will be smashed to pieces at some point, and their hearts will be smashed to the ground.

Jin Shiba seemed a little sad to see him, and couldn't help talking too much.

"Don't be disappointed, I will teach you a way to make it very easy."

The boy in black said stubbornly. "Which eye do you see that I'm lost?" But he hesitated. "What method?"

"Treat each day as if it were a lifetime. Before the middle of the day is the first half of your life, and after noon is the second half of your life. If you die in the first half of your life, you will die young and go to the underworld to be a romantic ghost; if you die in the second half of your life, That is the end of life, life is not in vain. When you open your eyes the next day, you will think that you have been reborn again, and you are deeply loved by God."

Jin Shiba really taught him carefully.When he talked nonsense, he had a serious look, and he didn't even move his brows, which was very bluffing.

Jin Wu scolded expressionlessly: "Deceive yourself and others." But he secretly wrote down this method in his heart.

He glanced at the twilight sky, the setting sun was red, and the sky seemed to be overflowing with blood.The red maple trembled, and the withered flowers and leaves in the sky slowly fell down, bit by bit covering the shadow of the eaves corner of Guangde Temple in the distance.

"The Thousand Monks Meeting is just two days away, but the young master is studying the killing array?" Jin Shiba glanced at the stone in his hand and asked.

Houtianlou wants to take the opportunity of the Thousand Monks Association to take Panlong Mountain back. For this reason, the Jinbu will come out in full force. As the young landlord, Jin Wu naturally shoulders a heavy responsibility. Confrontation.

Looking at the looming eaves of the temple, the young man murmured with a pair of dark and dark eyes that were silent. "Although it's a killing formation, it's still uncertain who to kill." After saying that, he suddenly turned around and said to Jin Shiba. "Except for conveying confidential matters, don't come to me again."

"Why?"

Jin Shiba was puzzled, he thought he was annoyed because Zuo Sanniang came to the door repeatedly, and when he wanted to laugh at him for being small-bellied and intolerant, he didn't want to hear Jin Wu say plainly.

"...If you get close to me, you will die inexplicably one day. You will be like this... Zuo Sanniang will be the same."
