Douluo's Mistake
Chapter 99 The ninth generation
Bashu.
Tangmen.
Exterior door, mission reception.
A young man in gray robe walked in and went straight to the place where he received the task. There were scrolls there, each with a task on it, and there were a lot of people in this place.
On his way to where the scrolls were, many people greeted him, and the young man responded with a smile, gentle but a little distant, until he saw a man in white robes.
"Tang San?" The man looked a little older than the young man. When he saw him, he walked over directly, "It's rare to see you here."
"Then it's obvious that you came here too diligently." A real smile finally appeared on Tang San's face, "Tang Luan Xun, why are you, an inner disciple, doing so many tasks?"
"It's not my father who said I need some experience." The man, Tang Luan Xun, curled his lips and said, handing Tang San a scroll, "Look, I've picked out all the tasks."
"Pick three black soul fruits - haven't you completed this task before?" Tang San only glanced at the scroll but did not take it.
"The scroll is still there because it is still needed. I just happened to have completed it. Isn't it easy now?"
"...I wish you success." Tang San had nothing to say.
Tang Luanxun waved his hand and took the scroll to register the mission. Tang San was left to continue browsing the missions on the scroll one by one.
The Tang Sect where Tang San lived was located halfway up a mountain in Bashu - Guijianchou. It was divided into two sects: the inner and outer sects. The outer sect was all disciples with the surname outside or who were given the surname Tang, while the inner sect was directly affiliated with the Tang Sect and passed down the family line. .
The outer sect disciples wear gray robes, the inner sect disciples wear white robes, and the robes of the Tang Sect elders are based on the white robes with a golden "Tang" character on the chest. The inner sect of the Tang Sect also has an elder hall. , including the head, there are a total of seventeen elders, and Tang Luan Xun is the only son of the head Tang Da.
Tang San was abandoned not long after he was born, and was then brought back to the Tang Sect by Tang Da. Now he is nineteen years old, and he is divided into three generations in the outer sect, so most of the outer sect disciples will call him San Shao, while the inner sect disciples will just call him San Shao. Called Tang San.
The place where he is now is the place where the entire Tang Sect releases tasks, receives tasks and hands over tasks. Whether it is an outer sect or an inner sect disciple, if you want to complete the sect's tasks, you need to come here, so the task reception is the only place for the outer sect. Everywhere one can see about the same number of disciples wearing gray and white robes.
Looking past each scroll, Tang San suddenly stopped in front of one of them and began to read the information on it carefully.
The Wei family of the demon clan was wiped out.
The Wei family is located fifty miles east of Tangmen. There are 42 people in the house, of which 22 servants have no martial arts and nine guards. The strongest one is Wei Xu, the head of the Wei family. His wife Mo Wei is a martial artist and their eldest daughter is 20 years old. Their name is Wei Qing, their second son is named Wei Daoyuan, both of whom practice martial arts. The younger son is eight years old and is named Wei Daomiao. The second is his younger brother Wei Xun. His wife Xu Ling is not a martial artist. The eldest son Wei Feng is twenty, and the second son Wei Huai is eighteen. None of them know how to use martial arts.
Relying on completion: Wei Xu, the leader of Wei Xun.
Reward: five high-grade spirit-gathering pills, two high-grade marrow-cleansing pills, and one high-grade Qingyun pill.
Tang San of the Wei family knew that this was a small and medium-sized family under the Demon Clan, and had done a lot of bad things for the Demon Clan. Although there were not many people in the family who knew martial arts, no righteous people had come to attack them in many years.
The rewards for this mission are very generous, but since the information has been investigated so completely, the person who released the information must be quite capable, so why not go on your own?
Tang San thought for a while, and finally took the scroll away and walked towards the mission registration office. There was a young girl in gray robe sitting there, writing something on the registration book in front of the table.
"Tang Min?" Tang San was slightly surprised to see her sitting there, "Are you..."
When the girl heard her name, she immediately raised her head and smiled when she saw Tangshan: "Hello, Third Young Master, Senior Brother Tang Qin was not here when I came to register. I guess I had something to do, so I wrote it myself. Will you come to register too?" ?”
This situation has happened before. Anyway, after doing too many tasks, the registration process is naturally familiar. Some disciples who don’t want to waste time can just write it themselves and there will be no mistakes.
Nodding, Tang San raised the scroll in his hand: "Well, have you finished writing it?"
"Okay, okay." Tang Min put down the pen, stood up and said goodbye to Tang San, "Third Young Master, please write, I'm going to do the task. If you hurry up, I should be able to finish it before dark."
After writing down the task content, completion standards, reward, and his name in order according to the standards, Tang San didn't stay any longer and immediately walked out, heading towards the outside of the sect.
It was getting late and there were very few people at the task reception desk. Only then did inner disciple Tang Qin rush back, sit down at the place where tasks were registered, and look through the task registration book.
Tang Qin studied under an elder who was very knowledgeable about medicine. He was his only disciple. Something happened suddenly today. Something happened in the medicine garden. He was gone for most of the day and no one was available to replace him. This register Tang Qin had to check them one by one. It would be bad if there were mistakes.
"Wait a minute, why was this mission accepted?" Tang Qin focused his gaze on a certain page, "Tang San... Outer disciples, we must stop him as soon as possible!"
Without bothering to scrutinize the mission register, Tang Qin stood up suddenly and immediately rushed towards the inner door after exiting the mission reception area. However, he bumped into Tang Luan Xun at the entrance of the inner door.
"Hey, what happened to make you so anxious?"
"Tang San took over the Wei family's mission!"
"What?!" Tang Luanxun lost his careless look in an instant and frowned, "The Wei family is not far from our place. I think Tang San should have arrived. I will inform father. You go to the Wei family quickly. !”
"Okay!" Tang Qin nodded, turned around and accelerated towards the Wei family.
"Hopefully, it's not too late." Tang Luanxun prayed secretly as he entered the inner door to look for his father.
He didn't know about the other outer disciples, but Tang Luan Xun still knew about Tang San's strength. For the Wei family, which was not very powerful in terms of force, Tang San's effort alone was enough.
*
Wei family.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Looking at Wei Xu who was standing in front of the window and sighing, Mo Wei stepped forward, a little worried.
The sky outside the window was gloomy, with lightning flashing from time to time. Wei Xu looked at his wife beside him: "I don't know why, but I always have an ominous premonition in my heart."
Mo Wei smiled softly: "It's okay, husband, I will always be by your side."
Patting her hand comfortingly, Wei Xu looked at the sky again: "It's going to rain."
What responded to him was a huge roar.
Strong winds are blowing and rain is about to come.
At the same time, in the garden in the backyard, several young people were playing with a little boy who was much younger than them. There were three boys and one girl, all close in age. Their eyes were focused on the boy in the center, for fear that he would accidentally fall. where.Compared to Wei Xu's worries, the scene here is actually joyful.
"Miaomiao, come, come to sister." The only girl among the four squatted down and opened her arms towards the child in the middle.
The boy was obviously a little unhappy. He muttered: "Sister, I am eight years old and I am no longer a child!" Although he said this, he still followed the instructions and rushed to his sister quickly, and then was picked up.
The boy closest to the two of them smiled: "Yes, Miaomiao is the eldest child in our family."
"The older child still needs to be held by Sister Qing."
The two people who are a little further away can obviously tell that they are brothers. One of them is shorter with his hands folded on his chest and a bright smile on his face. This is what he said just now. The other one is more cold, but it seems that The boy's eyes were full of tenderness.
There are five juniors in the Wei family, all gathered in this small garden. The youngest Wei Daomiao is only eight years old, which is an unexpected surprise for Wei Xu. The other children were generally over ten years old when they were born. , one who is pampered by the whole family.
Hearing what Wei Huai said, Wei Daomiao snorted and turned his head to the side: "I won't play with Brother Huai anymore!"
"Hey, that's not possible." Wei Huai was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly walked over and gently pinched Wei Daomiao's face. "Brother Huai really likes Miaomiao. Miaomiao should not be angry with brother Huai."
Wei Daomiao was very angry, but he could calm down quickly. After a few words of coaxing, he was happy again. But before Wei Daomiao could say anything, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed in the sky, followed by the rumble of thunder, which frightened him. He couldn't help but shrink into Wei Qing's arms.
After looking at the sky, Wei Feng, who had been watching from the side, said: "It's going to rain, let's go back.
In response, Wei Qing patted the back of the child in her arms and walked to the corridor first: "Miaomiao is not afraid. Sister is here, let's go into the house."
The dark clouds outside were getting heavier and heavier, but there was only thunder and no rain. The strong wind poured into the house, causing those who followed behind to frown.
Before the five people could sit down safely, a maid suddenly ran over in this direction quickly, with a very anxious look on her face, and she didn't even have time to salute: "Miss, Third Young Master, a man just tried to break in. Several guards I went to stop him but lost my life. Now I have to go to the front hall. Madam asked my slave to inform you two!"
Except for Wei Daomiao, who was still a little confused, the other four people were suddenly shocked.
Wei Feng took Wei Daomiao over and said, "Sister Qing, Ahuai and I will take care of Miaomiao. You go to the front hall and take a look."
Wei Qing and Wei Daoyuan nodded, and walked towards the front hall with the maid.
"I also want to go with my sister and brother..."
"The two of them have something very important to do. Can Brother Huai and Brother Feng accompany you now?" Wei Huai came over to help Wei Daomiao straighten his clothes and answered his questions casually.
Wei Daomiao knew that the two of them had serious business to do, so he didn't make any fuss about asking for a sister or a brother, and continued to have fun with Wei Feng and Wei Huai.
*
"Mom, what's going on?" When Wei Qing came, he saw a man dressed in black. There were not many guards around him, and they didn't dare to take a step closer to the man.
"I don't know. This person started killing people as soon as he arrived, and there was no way he could stop him."
He looked carefully at the man's appearance, but unfortunately it was getting late and Wei Daoyuan couldn't see clearly: "Mom, have you seen him?"
"No." Mo Wei shook his head, "My husband also said that he has never seen this person before."
"That's weird..." Wei Daoyuan frowned.
At the same time, Wei Xun also rushed over: "Sister-in-law, I asked Aling to go find Miaomiao and the others. Now this is..."
It seemed that he was just waiting for everyone to gather. As soon as the man saw Wei Xun appear, he immediately took action without giving him time to ask him clearly.
Naturally, those guards were no match. Then, Wei Xu immediately went up to them. After fighting for a while, he found that this man's martial arts was not top-notch, and he was barely even powerful. However, those hidden weapons that were hard to guard against gave Wei Xu a headache. At the same time, he was sure that he was coming. person's identity.
"Are you from the Tang Sect?!"
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky and illuminated the man's face for a moment. It was Tang San who took over the mission. At this time, the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time finally poured down.
Tang San did not comment on Wei Xu's words.
Seeing that something was wrong, Wei Xun immediately joined the battle. However, in the rainy night, even the sound of the hidden weapon being activated was covered up, which was really disadvantageous for the two of them.
"Mom, you go to the backyard and watch Miaomiao and the others first, while Daoyuan and I go to help father!" Wei Qing thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.
"Aqing!"
"Mom, it's too late!" Wei Qing looked at Mo Wei with firm eyes, "You are the most powerful among the three of us. What if this person has companions..."
After clenching his fists, Mo Wei looked at Wei Xu's figure again. He only had time to say "be careful" before turning around and quickly heading towards the backyard.
She was focused on getting to the children as quickly as possible, and did not care about the surrounding situation. A moment after entering the backyard corridor, Mo Wei felt that she seemed to have touched something, and then there was a sound of breaking through the air, The cold light was approaching her.
Mo Wei frowned and immediately dodged aside, and there were five more crossbow arrows on the ground where she was originally. The arrows sank into the ground, but before Mo Wei could stand still, there was another sound of breaking through the air. After evading again and again, she could only duck into the garden, which made it more difficult to avoid hidden weapons.
Every mechanism hidden here seemed to have been calculated in advance. Just as she avoided the previous level, the mechanism on the next level was triggered right at Mo Wei's foothold. No matter how careful she was, without weapons and on a rainy night, Under the influence, the right shoulder was still hit by an arrow, and there were many scars on the body.
Barely dodging the last wave of hidden weapons, Mo Wei went straight to Wei Daomiao's house. Sure enough, he saw Xu Ling, Wei Feng, Wei Huai, and Wei Daomiao being guarded by several people. He felt relieved. tone.
Seeing Mo Wei covered in blood, everyone was shocked. Xu Ling rushed to meet him: "How did it get like this?"
Mo Wei shook his head: "This time it was planned."
The young Wei Daomiao didn't understand what happened, but he also knew that it was a big event. He ran to his mother, looked up at her, and held Mo Wei's hand: "Mom, don't be afraid. , Miaomiao will protect you!"
Hearing his childish words, Mo Wei felt a little relieved: "Miaomiao is here, mother is not afraid."
But before she could feel comfortable for a long time, Mo Wei immediately became serious. She didn't have time to worry about the love between her children. She looked around and finally stuffed Wei Daomiao into the closet, then covered her with clothes and warned: "Miaomiao , remember, wait until there is no movement, don’t worry about anything after you come out, leave through the back door, and run as far away as possible!”
With that said, Mo Wei found some silver and jewelry from the house, wrapped it in a tablecloth and tied it to Wei Daomiao: "Be careful with your silver, and be careful when praising jewelry. My mother taught you this, remember." As for my mother-in-law, ah.”
Wei Daomiao tightly grasped the baggage on his body with both hands and looked at Mo Wei blankly: "Mother..."
Taking a deep breath, Mo Wei closed the closet door and looked out the door solemnly: "He's here."
Wei Daomiao couldn't remember much about what happened next. He only remembered the majestic heavy rain that seemed to wash away everything, the bloody hidden weapon nailed to the wall and shaking, and the eyes full of blood. red.
*
After Tang San finished dealing with the last servant and Mo Wei, he planned to leave with the vouchers. However, halfway back to the front hall, he remembered that he had never seen the eight-year-old child. When the originally closed closet door was now wide open, he paused and walked towards the back door.
The hidden weapons in the backyard were set up by Tang San. Of course he had roughly figured out the structure of the Wei Mansion, and he soon saw the little figure fleeing in the rainy night.
Pursing his lips, Tang San still hesitated about such a young child, but firstly because of the mission requirements, and secondly because the demons never deserved mercy, so in the end he raised his right arm, intending to use his sleeve arrows to kill the child.
"Tang San, stop!"
Hearing the sound, Tang San put down his arms and looked up at the source of the sound, while Wei Daomiao in front was startled, his feet slipped and he rolled down the hillside in front.
"Tang Qin?" Tang San called the visitor's name with a hint of doubt.
Tang Qin had no time to pay attention to Tang San. He immediately rushed towards the place where Wei Daomiao rolled down. Fortunately, the hillside was not high or steep, and there was grass as a buffer. Apart from some scratches and abrasions on Wei Daomiao's body, It's nothing serious, I just fainted now.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Tang Qin picked up the child, looked at Tang San who was following him, and still had a trace of luck in his heart: "Your mission..."
"Leave no one behind." Tang San also realized something was wrong. He pointed at Wei Daomiao in Tang Qin's arms, "Except him."
"Tang San, you've gotten into big trouble!" Tang Qin closed his eyes, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "Why can't you think of taking on that mission?!"
"I……"
Before Tang San could open his mouth to explain anything, the arrival of another figure made both of them shut up.
"Master."
Before finding the two of them, Tang Da had already seen the miserable situation of the Wei family, but when he saw Wei Daomiao in Tang Qin's arms, he couldn't help but sigh and tell Tang San everything.
The Wei family, on the surface, are the lackeys of the demon clan. In fact, they are the seeds planted after the consensus of many large sects of the righteous way. They are also undercover agents. The things they do to help the demon clan are all true, and they are also a show performed by the righteous path. In order to earn the trust of the demons for the Wei family, the strangulation mission was naturally part of it.
All participating sects will regard the destruction of the Wei family as one of their sect tasks. Only disciples who have the strength to complete the task will be secretly informed not to take over the task. At the same time, they will select absolutely trusted disciples to take charge of the task handover to prevent them from being mistakenly taken over by other disciples. The Tang Sect naturally only informed the inner disciples.
Seeing that the undercover plan was on track, the result...
Logically speaking, is the Tang Sect at fault?No.It just does what other sects do.
Was Tang Qin wrong?No.The incident happened suddenly today and there was a shortage of manpower. He just tried his best to help his classmates. On weekdays, everyone is used to checking in by themselves from time to time, and nothing went wrong.
Where is Tang San?Is he wrong?Not really.He didn't know anything, he just accepted the task and completed it as usual.
Everything was just a coincidence, but it was this coincidence that led to a tragedy.
Closing his eyes, Tang San knelt down without hesitation: "Please punish me, Master!"
Looking at Tang Da who was silent, Tang Qin also knelt down: "Master, there is no guilt for those who are ignorant. Please spare Tang San this time."
Sighing deeply again, Tang Duo looked at Tang San for a few seconds, and finally his eyes stopped on the child in Tang Qin's arms: "When the child wakes up, let him make his own decision."
"Yes, Master."
Tang San did not follow the two men back to Tangmen in a hurry, but requested that all the bodies of the Wei family be buried before going back to receive the punishment. Tang Qin knew his character, and Tang San would never do anything like making excuses to escape. , but I didn’t expect that Tang Da, who had never met Tang San, would directly agree.
There happened to be a hill behind the Wei family. Tang San buried the 41 people who died in vain because of him one by one. Since there was no suitable stone tablet, he took some wooden boards in desperation, engraved their names and placed them in front of the tomb, and those who didn't know Tang San, whose name was taboo, only left a blank wooden board.
After doing all this, Tang San couldn't help but stare at the 41 tombs in a daze. The heavy rain showed no signs of slowing down. The rainwater flowed into his eyes, but it still didn't block his sight. After a long time, Tang San wiped his face, turned and left. .
It was already midnight when we returned to Tangmen. The only people who knew about this matter so far were Tang Qin, Tang Luan Xun, Tang Da and Tang San himself. As soon as Tang San returned to his room, he saw that the lights had already been turned on and Tang Qin was taking care of Lying Down. Wei Daomiao was on his bed, and he had already changed into a set of clothes, which were the disciple uniforms of the Tang Sect's outer sect.
"He's back? I've applied the medicine for him." Seeing Tang San, Tang Qin immediately stood up and placed the medicine in his hand on the table, "You know this medicine, and the master asked you to take care of him. .”
Slightly startled, Tang San then understood what the leader meant.
Let Tang San take care of Wei Daomiao, firstly, to alleviate the guilt and regret in his heart a little, and secondly, Wei Daomiao can see Tang San as soon as he wakes up, so how to deal with him can also get the fastest result. There is no way he would feel comfortable with a stone hanging on the top. The third reason is that the inner door is different from the outer door. Suddenly there is an extra child placed in the inner door and it is difficult to hide it. It happens that Tang San's place is not close to the residence of other disciples of the outer door. So he is the best choice here.
Seeing Tang San silently looking at Wei Daomiao lying on the bed, Tang Qin opened his mouth and thought for a while but couldn't think of any good words to comfort him. In the end, he had no choice but to pat his shoulder: "This matter It's not your fault, just change your clothes, even if you have the inner strength, you can't get wet like this."
The moment Tang Qin was about to step out, Tang San suddenly spoke: "...Thank you, Master, for me."
"Ah, I understand, don't worry."
Taking a long breath, Tang San put on dry clothes, then went to close the window, but suddenly noticed something was wrong with the person on the bed. He rushed to the bedside to check, only to find out that Wei Daomiao had a nightmare. the result of.
The child's face was full of tears, his arms were waving in the air, and he was mumbling words such as "Don't kill me," "Mom, sister," "Please, don't kill me."
Seeing this, Tang San's breathing couldn't help but tremble. He gathered Wei Daomiao's hands in his palms, carefully lifted the person up and leaned into his arms, gently comforting him: "It's okay, no one will Don’t be afraid of those who kill you, I...I will protect you..."
Surprisingly, under Tang San's comforting words, Wei Daomiao actually gradually calmed down and fell asleep peacefully.
After laying Wei Daomiao down and covering him with the quilt, Tang San just sat on the ground beside the bed. After a while, he smiled sarcastically, not at others, but at himself. .
Isn't it ridiculous that the culprit who caused all this shamelessly wants to protect the only surviving victim?
Listening to the sound of rain outside the window fading, Tang San closed his eyes.
The lights in the house were on all night.
The next day.
Tang San opened his eyes early, staring aimlessly at a place on the ground in trance. Suddenly he heard the movement coming from around him. He quickly stood up to observe Wei Daomiao's condition, but suddenly he was faced with a pair of eyes. Eyes that seemed moistened by water.
His body became a little stiff, and Tang San's breathing slowed down a little. He was already prepared for the child in front of him to suddenly change his face.
The two looked at each other for a while, and the owner of the eyes blinked, looking at Tang San with some confusion: "Brother, was it you who saved me?"
"...What?" Tang San didn't sleep all night last night. Hearing Wei Daomiao's unexpected question, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"I remember that I rolled down the hillside. It hurt so much." As if remembering those pains, Wei Daomiao's mood was a little low, but he quickly returned to his previous appearance: "But I remember, there was a man wearing The big brother in your clothes picked me up and told me not to be afraid, saying he would protect me!"
"You, do you remember...something else?" Tang San's voice was dry.
Wei Daomiao really thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head. He still looked at Tang San: "Brother, you haven't told me yet if you saved me!"
"I..." Facing those clear eyes, Tang San couldn't say anything. He suddenly took half a step back, avoiding Wei Daomiao's sight, and then ran away, "I'll give it to you." You get something to eat."
Tang San came back not too slowly, with a bowl of white porridge in his hands and placed it on the table. He first lifted Wei Daomiao up and leaned against the bedside, then picked up the white porridge and sat on the edge of the bed.
Wei Daomiao is really obedient. The pampering of his family did not spoil him, but instead made him well-behaved and innocent.
"Do you still remember your name?"
"Hmm...don't remember..."
"Don't you even remember how you rolled down the hill?"
Wei Dao shook his head in confusion.
"..."
Tang San was silent, looking at the empty bowl in his hand in trance. It wasn't until Wei Daomiao carefully tugged at the hem of his clothes that he suddenly came back to his senses.
Smiling forcefully at Wei Daomiao, Tang San stood up: "You rest here for a while, I'll be back soon."
Soon, Tang Qin, who was full of worries, turned around and bumped into Tang San who had finished handling the tableware in front of the house. He quickly pulled him away: "Then the child is awake? How is it?"
After explaining the situation, Tang San looked in the direction of his house: "Now... I don't know what to do."
"...That's true." Tang Qin murmured to himself.
"what?"
"I had expected that this might happen." Tang Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "I have already asked the leader for instructions, and he said that you will take care of him."
"Me? But..." Tang San was a little in disbelief after hearing the news.
Tang Qin smiled and handed over the thing in his hand: "I know, I already said it's not your fault, don't think so much. Now, your mission reward."
Looking at the small bottles in Tang Qin's hand, Tang San pursed his lips, turned around and left: "No, I have to find the leader!"
"Hey!" Tang Qin quickly grabbed him and forced the elixir into Tang San's hand, "You deserve this, even though it was a mistake... Okay, okay, hurry up and take it."
Looking at the elixir in his hand, Tang San looked up at Tang Qin's leaving figure, finally put the elixir away and turned around to enter the house.
"Big brother, you're back!"
"Well." Tang San sat by the bed, his face couldn't help but become gentle, and his voice became much softer, "Since you can't remember your name, then... can I give you a name?"
"Okay!" Wei Daomiao blinked, looking completely trusting, obviously acquiescing that the person who saved him was Tang San.
"Tang Miao, your name is Tang Miao." As Tang San said, he took Wei Daomiao's hand and wrote these two words in his hand one stroke at a time.
After careful consideration, Wei Daomiao, no, Tang Miao probably had no objection to this name: "Well, then I will be called Tang Miao from now on! Big brother, what is your name?"
"Me?" Tang San looked deeply at the cheerful Tang Miao, but his heart tightened with sadness, "My name is Tang San."
"Tang...san..." Tang Miao tilted his head and thought seriously, then blinked, "I remember it!"
Tang San looked at Tang Miao and responded softly.
*
"Third Brother!"
"What's wrong?" Tang San caught the person rushing towards his arms and touched his head.
"I don't want to learn from Tang Qin anymore. There are so many miscellaneous herbs, how can I remember them?" Tang Miao hugged Tang San with both hands, and then looked up at him.
"But you don't like the things I practice..."
Tang Miao took a few steps back and snorted: "Then I can't be idle?"
"Ah Miao." Tang San was a little helpless, but he still leaned over to coax him, "Didn't you promise me originally? Learn more from Tang Qin, you can always use it in the future, be obedient."
"Oh——" Tang Miao puffed his lips, it wasn't that he really didn't want to learn anymore, he was just using this to cheat and act coquettishly with Tang San. After hearing what he said, he agreed, but his tone was protracted, and it showed that Some reluctance.
Sighing slightly, Tang San raised his hand and touched Tang Miao's head: "Be good." Whenever he did this, Tang Miao would always be as good as a cat whose fur has been smoothed.
Taking off the hand on his head and holding it, Tang Miao bit his lip: "Okay, I'll be good."
Four years later, Tang San gradually relaxed and took care of Tang Miao wholeheartedly. Seeing that he didn't like those who killed and killed, he asked Tang Qin to teach him something. As one of the few people who knew the whole story, Tang Qin Of course he was happy, and under the instruction of the headmaster and his master, he taught Tang Miao everything he knew.
Tang Miao is also very talented and has a photographic memory, which is of great help in learning herbal medicine knowledge. As for the classification of herbal medicines that are too complicated and too complicated for him to memorize, it is just because he is lazy, and he only blames Tang Miao for it. Three listening.
However, it is not that what happened back then left Tang Miao with no sequelae. Now he doesn't like rain, and he can't restrain his fear when encountering heavy rain and lightning. Whenever this happens, Tang San will hug people He coaxed her softly into his arms, accompanying Tang Miao through those rainy days that were difficult for him. Recently, Tang Miao's symptoms have improved a lot, and he is no longer unable to walk like at the beginning, but I still shiver all over and my limbs feel cold.
Holding Tang Miao's hand with his back, Tang San led the people up the mountain.
"Hey, third brother, where are you going?" Tang Miao said without resisting, "I have to go to class with Tang Qin today."
"Don't you want to go? I'll take you to relax and I'll take you to Tangchina later."
Tang San pulled Tang Miao all the way to the top of the mountain where Guijianchou was located, and pointed to the mountains and sky in the distance: "Look over there, isn't it beautiful?"
Staring at the magnificent scene in front of him, Tang Miao was speechless for a moment.
In the distance, there are many mountains, clouds and fog, and the dark blue mountains are hidden among them, hazy but clear.
"Third brother..."
"How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Looking at Tang San in a daze, Tang Miao nodded lightly.
"I used to be in a bad mood, so I often came here to see the scenery." Tang San led the people to sit down, and never let go of the hands he held, "Everyone's life is basically spent climbing. The first thing I heard A voice, the first sentence you learn, the first word you can write are all mountains you have climbed over. But people are never satisfied. Even if they stand on the top of the mountain, they just want to climb over it. Cross the next one higher to the mountain peak.”
"However, isn't this the meaning of our struggle?"
"Does Third Brother also want to reach a higher place?"
"Of course, it's just... I'm just an outer disciple. It's enough to practice what I have learned." Tang San smiled, and then looked at the clouds in front of him in trance.
Tang Miao looked at Tang San thoughtfully, then looked at the direction of his gaze, and finally said nothing.
*
A few days later, Tang San took on a task, which he had to leave Tang Clan to do. This had happened in the previous four years, and Tang Miao was used to it, and continued to do his own thing every day until Tang San left. On the third day, a thunderstorm came, which seemed to be bigger than the one four years ago.
Fortunately, it was still afternoon, so Tang Miao was still fine. He looked at the crackling rain outside, and gradually, a somewhat incredible idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
After swallowing, Tang Miao looked out the window again, gritted his teeth, took an umbrella and went out.
He rushed all the way to the Sutra Pavilion, looked at the inner disciples patrolling outside, raised a smile and said hello: "Brother, can I go to the first floor to find some ancient books to read?"
"Tang Miao, is it still raining so heavily?"
Tang Qin had special privileges and could enter and exit the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion at will. Most of them contained ancient ancient books or books on humanities and geography, and he was not afraid of leaking them. In the past four years, Tang Qin often took Tang Miao to read books and patrol. Everyone knows him, so he won't be stopped when he comes.
"Go in, don't stay too long."
Tang Miao naturally agreed, then quickly approached the door on the first floor, put the umbrella aside, and then opened the door and went in.
He walked straight to the stairs leading to the second floor. Tang Miao's purpose was not the books. He moved lightly and tried not to make a sound, but there was an elder guarding the second floor. Tang Miao avoided it at all costs. Not open.
Just when Tang Miao didn't know what to do, there was a sudden thunder outside. Amid everyone's surprised cries, a huge tree outside the Sutra Pavilion was struck down by lightning. The direction in which the tree fell was, It is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
There was so much commotion outside that the elder immediately flew out to observe the situation. Upon seeing this, he immediately helped to stop the falling trees.
Although he didn't know what happened for the time being, this did not prevent Tang Miao from running up to the third floor as fast as he could. When the elder came back, he could only see the empty second floor, and he sat down naturally and continued to meditate. Found nothing.
Tang Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief after touching the third floor, which was the top floor of the Sutra Pavilion. He took the time to step forward and take the Xuantian Baolu and others into his hands, and read them word by word from the beginning. Tang Miao read carefully. , also read quickly. After finishing these words, he had no intention of staying, restored everything to its original state, and quietly walked to the stairs.
Now Tang Miao encountered another problem. He had to go out under the eyes of the patrolling disciples, but he had to go back to the first level, and the elder on Tang Miao's only path would definitely be able to find his traces. This was a Dead end.
After struggling for a while, Tang Miao even wanted to go to the window to see if he could jump directly. At this time, an inner disciple hurriedly ran up to the second floor: "Second Elder, the leader wants to see you for something."
The second elder looked around the entire second floor again, and finally closed the window tightly before following the disciple out of the Scripture Deposit Pavilion.
This gave Tang Miao an excellent opportunity. He immediately returned to the first floor after hearing the sound of the door closing, and waited for a short while before opening the door and walking out.
Tangmen.
Exterior door, mission reception.
A young man in gray robe walked in and went straight to the place where he received the task. There were scrolls there, each with a task on it, and there were a lot of people in this place.
On his way to where the scrolls were, many people greeted him, and the young man responded with a smile, gentle but a little distant, until he saw a man in white robes.
"Tang San?" The man looked a little older than the young man. When he saw him, he walked over directly, "It's rare to see you here."
"Then it's obvious that you came here too diligently." A real smile finally appeared on Tang San's face, "Tang Luan Xun, why are you, an inner disciple, doing so many tasks?"
"It's not my father who said I need some experience." The man, Tang Luan Xun, curled his lips and said, handing Tang San a scroll, "Look, I've picked out all the tasks."
"Pick three black soul fruits - haven't you completed this task before?" Tang San only glanced at the scroll but did not take it.
"The scroll is still there because it is still needed. I just happened to have completed it. Isn't it easy now?"
"...I wish you success." Tang San had nothing to say.
Tang Luanxun waved his hand and took the scroll to register the mission. Tang San was left to continue browsing the missions on the scroll one by one.
The Tang Sect where Tang San lived was located halfway up a mountain in Bashu - Guijianchou. It was divided into two sects: the inner and outer sects. The outer sect was all disciples with the surname outside or who were given the surname Tang, while the inner sect was directly affiliated with the Tang Sect and passed down the family line. .
The outer sect disciples wear gray robes, the inner sect disciples wear white robes, and the robes of the Tang Sect elders are based on the white robes with a golden "Tang" character on the chest. The inner sect of the Tang Sect also has an elder hall. , including the head, there are a total of seventeen elders, and Tang Luan Xun is the only son of the head Tang Da.
Tang San was abandoned not long after he was born, and was then brought back to the Tang Sect by Tang Da. Now he is nineteen years old, and he is divided into three generations in the outer sect, so most of the outer sect disciples will call him San Shao, while the inner sect disciples will just call him San Shao. Called Tang San.
The place where he is now is the place where the entire Tang Sect releases tasks, receives tasks and hands over tasks. Whether it is an outer sect or an inner sect disciple, if you want to complete the sect's tasks, you need to come here, so the task reception is the only place for the outer sect. Everywhere one can see about the same number of disciples wearing gray and white robes.
Looking past each scroll, Tang San suddenly stopped in front of one of them and began to read the information on it carefully.
The Wei family of the demon clan was wiped out.
The Wei family is located fifty miles east of Tangmen. There are 42 people in the house, of which 22 servants have no martial arts and nine guards. The strongest one is Wei Xu, the head of the Wei family. His wife Mo Wei is a martial artist and their eldest daughter is 20 years old. Their name is Wei Qing, their second son is named Wei Daoyuan, both of whom practice martial arts. The younger son is eight years old and is named Wei Daomiao. The second is his younger brother Wei Xun. His wife Xu Ling is not a martial artist. The eldest son Wei Feng is twenty, and the second son Wei Huai is eighteen. None of them know how to use martial arts.
Relying on completion: Wei Xu, the leader of Wei Xun.
Reward: five high-grade spirit-gathering pills, two high-grade marrow-cleansing pills, and one high-grade Qingyun pill.
Tang San of the Wei family knew that this was a small and medium-sized family under the Demon Clan, and had done a lot of bad things for the Demon Clan. Although there were not many people in the family who knew martial arts, no righteous people had come to attack them in many years.
The rewards for this mission are very generous, but since the information has been investigated so completely, the person who released the information must be quite capable, so why not go on your own?
Tang San thought for a while, and finally took the scroll away and walked towards the mission registration office. There was a young girl in gray robe sitting there, writing something on the registration book in front of the table.
"Tang Min?" Tang San was slightly surprised to see her sitting there, "Are you..."
When the girl heard her name, she immediately raised her head and smiled when she saw Tangshan: "Hello, Third Young Master, Senior Brother Tang Qin was not here when I came to register. I guess I had something to do, so I wrote it myself. Will you come to register too?" ?”
This situation has happened before. Anyway, after doing too many tasks, the registration process is naturally familiar. Some disciples who don’t want to waste time can just write it themselves and there will be no mistakes.
Nodding, Tang San raised the scroll in his hand: "Well, have you finished writing it?"
"Okay, okay." Tang Min put down the pen, stood up and said goodbye to Tang San, "Third Young Master, please write, I'm going to do the task. If you hurry up, I should be able to finish it before dark."
After writing down the task content, completion standards, reward, and his name in order according to the standards, Tang San didn't stay any longer and immediately walked out, heading towards the outside of the sect.
It was getting late and there were very few people at the task reception desk. Only then did inner disciple Tang Qin rush back, sit down at the place where tasks were registered, and look through the task registration book.
Tang Qin studied under an elder who was very knowledgeable about medicine. He was his only disciple. Something happened suddenly today. Something happened in the medicine garden. He was gone for most of the day and no one was available to replace him. This register Tang Qin had to check them one by one. It would be bad if there were mistakes.
"Wait a minute, why was this mission accepted?" Tang Qin focused his gaze on a certain page, "Tang San... Outer disciples, we must stop him as soon as possible!"
Without bothering to scrutinize the mission register, Tang Qin stood up suddenly and immediately rushed towards the inner door after exiting the mission reception area. However, he bumped into Tang Luan Xun at the entrance of the inner door.
"Hey, what happened to make you so anxious?"
"Tang San took over the Wei family's mission!"
"What?!" Tang Luanxun lost his careless look in an instant and frowned, "The Wei family is not far from our place. I think Tang San should have arrived. I will inform father. You go to the Wei family quickly. !”
"Okay!" Tang Qin nodded, turned around and accelerated towards the Wei family.
"Hopefully, it's not too late." Tang Luanxun prayed secretly as he entered the inner door to look for his father.
He didn't know about the other outer disciples, but Tang Luan Xun still knew about Tang San's strength. For the Wei family, which was not very powerful in terms of force, Tang San's effort alone was enough.
*
Wei family.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Looking at Wei Xu who was standing in front of the window and sighing, Mo Wei stepped forward, a little worried.
The sky outside the window was gloomy, with lightning flashing from time to time. Wei Xu looked at his wife beside him: "I don't know why, but I always have an ominous premonition in my heart."
Mo Wei smiled softly: "It's okay, husband, I will always be by your side."
Patting her hand comfortingly, Wei Xu looked at the sky again: "It's going to rain."
What responded to him was a huge roar.
Strong winds are blowing and rain is about to come.
At the same time, in the garden in the backyard, several young people were playing with a little boy who was much younger than them. There were three boys and one girl, all close in age. Their eyes were focused on the boy in the center, for fear that he would accidentally fall. where.Compared to Wei Xu's worries, the scene here is actually joyful.
"Miaomiao, come, come to sister." The only girl among the four squatted down and opened her arms towards the child in the middle.
The boy was obviously a little unhappy. He muttered: "Sister, I am eight years old and I am no longer a child!" Although he said this, he still followed the instructions and rushed to his sister quickly, and then was picked up.
The boy closest to the two of them smiled: "Yes, Miaomiao is the eldest child in our family."
"The older child still needs to be held by Sister Qing."
The two people who are a little further away can obviously tell that they are brothers. One of them is shorter with his hands folded on his chest and a bright smile on his face. This is what he said just now. The other one is more cold, but it seems that The boy's eyes were full of tenderness.
There are five juniors in the Wei family, all gathered in this small garden. The youngest Wei Daomiao is only eight years old, which is an unexpected surprise for Wei Xu. The other children were generally over ten years old when they were born. , one who is pampered by the whole family.
Hearing what Wei Huai said, Wei Daomiao snorted and turned his head to the side: "I won't play with Brother Huai anymore!"
"Hey, that's not possible." Wei Huai was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly walked over and gently pinched Wei Daomiao's face. "Brother Huai really likes Miaomiao. Miaomiao should not be angry with brother Huai."
Wei Daomiao was very angry, but he could calm down quickly. After a few words of coaxing, he was happy again. But before Wei Daomiao could say anything, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed in the sky, followed by the rumble of thunder, which frightened him. He couldn't help but shrink into Wei Qing's arms.
After looking at the sky, Wei Feng, who had been watching from the side, said: "It's going to rain, let's go back.
In response, Wei Qing patted the back of the child in her arms and walked to the corridor first: "Miaomiao is not afraid. Sister is here, let's go into the house."
The dark clouds outside were getting heavier and heavier, but there was only thunder and no rain. The strong wind poured into the house, causing those who followed behind to frown.
Before the five people could sit down safely, a maid suddenly ran over in this direction quickly, with a very anxious look on her face, and she didn't even have time to salute: "Miss, Third Young Master, a man just tried to break in. Several guards I went to stop him but lost my life. Now I have to go to the front hall. Madam asked my slave to inform you two!"
Except for Wei Daomiao, who was still a little confused, the other four people were suddenly shocked.
Wei Feng took Wei Daomiao over and said, "Sister Qing, Ahuai and I will take care of Miaomiao. You go to the front hall and take a look."
Wei Qing and Wei Daoyuan nodded, and walked towards the front hall with the maid.
"I also want to go with my sister and brother..."
"The two of them have something very important to do. Can Brother Huai and Brother Feng accompany you now?" Wei Huai came over to help Wei Daomiao straighten his clothes and answered his questions casually.
Wei Daomiao knew that the two of them had serious business to do, so he didn't make any fuss about asking for a sister or a brother, and continued to have fun with Wei Feng and Wei Huai.
*
"Mom, what's going on?" When Wei Qing came, he saw a man dressed in black. There were not many guards around him, and they didn't dare to take a step closer to the man.
"I don't know. This person started killing people as soon as he arrived, and there was no way he could stop him."
He looked carefully at the man's appearance, but unfortunately it was getting late and Wei Daoyuan couldn't see clearly: "Mom, have you seen him?"
"No." Mo Wei shook his head, "My husband also said that he has never seen this person before."
"That's weird..." Wei Daoyuan frowned.
At the same time, Wei Xun also rushed over: "Sister-in-law, I asked Aling to go find Miaomiao and the others. Now this is..."
It seemed that he was just waiting for everyone to gather. As soon as the man saw Wei Xun appear, he immediately took action without giving him time to ask him clearly.
Naturally, those guards were no match. Then, Wei Xu immediately went up to them. After fighting for a while, he found that this man's martial arts was not top-notch, and he was barely even powerful. However, those hidden weapons that were hard to guard against gave Wei Xu a headache. At the same time, he was sure that he was coming. person's identity.
"Are you from the Tang Sect?!"
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky and illuminated the man's face for a moment. It was Tang San who took over the mission. At this time, the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time finally poured down.
Tang San did not comment on Wei Xu's words.
Seeing that something was wrong, Wei Xun immediately joined the battle. However, in the rainy night, even the sound of the hidden weapon being activated was covered up, which was really disadvantageous for the two of them.
"Mom, you go to the backyard and watch Miaomiao and the others first, while Daoyuan and I go to help father!" Wei Qing thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.
"Aqing!"
"Mom, it's too late!" Wei Qing looked at Mo Wei with firm eyes, "You are the most powerful among the three of us. What if this person has companions..."
After clenching his fists, Mo Wei looked at Wei Xu's figure again. He only had time to say "be careful" before turning around and quickly heading towards the backyard.
She was focused on getting to the children as quickly as possible, and did not care about the surrounding situation. A moment after entering the backyard corridor, Mo Wei felt that she seemed to have touched something, and then there was a sound of breaking through the air, The cold light was approaching her.
Mo Wei frowned and immediately dodged aside, and there were five more crossbow arrows on the ground where she was originally. The arrows sank into the ground, but before Mo Wei could stand still, there was another sound of breaking through the air. After evading again and again, she could only duck into the garden, which made it more difficult to avoid hidden weapons.
Every mechanism hidden here seemed to have been calculated in advance. Just as she avoided the previous level, the mechanism on the next level was triggered right at Mo Wei's foothold. No matter how careful she was, without weapons and on a rainy night, Under the influence, the right shoulder was still hit by an arrow, and there were many scars on the body.
Barely dodging the last wave of hidden weapons, Mo Wei went straight to Wei Daomiao's house. Sure enough, he saw Xu Ling, Wei Feng, Wei Huai, and Wei Daomiao being guarded by several people. He felt relieved. tone.
Seeing Mo Wei covered in blood, everyone was shocked. Xu Ling rushed to meet him: "How did it get like this?"
Mo Wei shook his head: "This time it was planned."
The young Wei Daomiao didn't understand what happened, but he also knew that it was a big event. He ran to his mother, looked up at her, and held Mo Wei's hand: "Mom, don't be afraid. , Miaomiao will protect you!"
Hearing his childish words, Mo Wei felt a little relieved: "Miaomiao is here, mother is not afraid."
But before she could feel comfortable for a long time, Mo Wei immediately became serious. She didn't have time to worry about the love between her children. She looked around and finally stuffed Wei Daomiao into the closet, then covered her with clothes and warned: "Miaomiao , remember, wait until there is no movement, don’t worry about anything after you come out, leave through the back door, and run as far away as possible!”
With that said, Mo Wei found some silver and jewelry from the house, wrapped it in a tablecloth and tied it to Wei Daomiao: "Be careful with your silver, and be careful when praising jewelry. My mother taught you this, remember." As for my mother-in-law, ah.”
Wei Daomiao tightly grasped the baggage on his body with both hands and looked at Mo Wei blankly: "Mother..."
Taking a deep breath, Mo Wei closed the closet door and looked out the door solemnly: "He's here."
Wei Daomiao couldn't remember much about what happened next. He only remembered the majestic heavy rain that seemed to wash away everything, the bloody hidden weapon nailed to the wall and shaking, and the eyes full of blood. red.
*
After Tang San finished dealing with the last servant and Mo Wei, he planned to leave with the vouchers. However, halfway back to the front hall, he remembered that he had never seen the eight-year-old child. When the originally closed closet door was now wide open, he paused and walked towards the back door.
The hidden weapons in the backyard were set up by Tang San. Of course he had roughly figured out the structure of the Wei Mansion, and he soon saw the little figure fleeing in the rainy night.
Pursing his lips, Tang San still hesitated about such a young child, but firstly because of the mission requirements, and secondly because the demons never deserved mercy, so in the end he raised his right arm, intending to use his sleeve arrows to kill the child.
"Tang San, stop!"
Hearing the sound, Tang San put down his arms and looked up at the source of the sound, while Wei Daomiao in front was startled, his feet slipped and he rolled down the hillside in front.
"Tang Qin?" Tang San called the visitor's name with a hint of doubt.
Tang Qin had no time to pay attention to Tang San. He immediately rushed towards the place where Wei Daomiao rolled down. Fortunately, the hillside was not high or steep, and there was grass as a buffer. Apart from some scratches and abrasions on Wei Daomiao's body, It's nothing serious, I just fainted now.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Tang Qin picked up the child, looked at Tang San who was following him, and still had a trace of luck in his heart: "Your mission..."
"Leave no one behind." Tang San also realized something was wrong. He pointed at Wei Daomiao in Tang Qin's arms, "Except him."
"Tang San, you've gotten into big trouble!" Tang Qin closed his eyes, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "Why can't you think of taking on that mission?!"
"I……"
Before Tang San could open his mouth to explain anything, the arrival of another figure made both of them shut up.
"Master."
Before finding the two of them, Tang Da had already seen the miserable situation of the Wei family, but when he saw Wei Daomiao in Tang Qin's arms, he couldn't help but sigh and tell Tang San everything.
The Wei family, on the surface, are the lackeys of the demon clan. In fact, they are the seeds planted after the consensus of many large sects of the righteous way. They are also undercover agents. The things they do to help the demon clan are all true, and they are also a show performed by the righteous path. In order to earn the trust of the demons for the Wei family, the strangulation mission was naturally part of it.
All participating sects will regard the destruction of the Wei family as one of their sect tasks. Only disciples who have the strength to complete the task will be secretly informed not to take over the task. At the same time, they will select absolutely trusted disciples to take charge of the task handover to prevent them from being mistakenly taken over by other disciples. The Tang Sect naturally only informed the inner disciples.
Seeing that the undercover plan was on track, the result...
Logically speaking, is the Tang Sect at fault?No.It just does what other sects do.
Was Tang Qin wrong?No.The incident happened suddenly today and there was a shortage of manpower. He just tried his best to help his classmates. On weekdays, everyone is used to checking in by themselves from time to time, and nothing went wrong.
Where is Tang San?Is he wrong?Not really.He didn't know anything, he just accepted the task and completed it as usual.
Everything was just a coincidence, but it was this coincidence that led to a tragedy.
Closing his eyes, Tang San knelt down without hesitation: "Please punish me, Master!"
Looking at Tang Da who was silent, Tang Qin also knelt down: "Master, there is no guilt for those who are ignorant. Please spare Tang San this time."
Sighing deeply again, Tang Duo looked at Tang San for a few seconds, and finally his eyes stopped on the child in Tang Qin's arms: "When the child wakes up, let him make his own decision."
"Yes, Master."
Tang San did not follow the two men back to Tangmen in a hurry, but requested that all the bodies of the Wei family be buried before going back to receive the punishment. Tang Qin knew his character, and Tang San would never do anything like making excuses to escape. , but I didn’t expect that Tang Da, who had never met Tang San, would directly agree.
There happened to be a hill behind the Wei family. Tang San buried the 41 people who died in vain because of him one by one. Since there was no suitable stone tablet, he took some wooden boards in desperation, engraved their names and placed them in front of the tomb, and those who didn't know Tang San, whose name was taboo, only left a blank wooden board.
After doing all this, Tang San couldn't help but stare at the 41 tombs in a daze. The heavy rain showed no signs of slowing down. The rainwater flowed into his eyes, but it still didn't block his sight. After a long time, Tang San wiped his face, turned and left. .
It was already midnight when we returned to Tangmen. The only people who knew about this matter so far were Tang Qin, Tang Luan Xun, Tang Da and Tang San himself. As soon as Tang San returned to his room, he saw that the lights had already been turned on and Tang Qin was taking care of Lying Down. Wei Daomiao was on his bed, and he had already changed into a set of clothes, which were the disciple uniforms of the Tang Sect's outer sect.
"He's back? I've applied the medicine for him." Seeing Tang San, Tang Qin immediately stood up and placed the medicine in his hand on the table, "You know this medicine, and the master asked you to take care of him. .”
Slightly startled, Tang San then understood what the leader meant.
Let Tang San take care of Wei Daomiao, firstly, to alleviate the guilt and regret in his heart a little, and secondly, Wei Daomiao can see Tang San as soon as he wakes up, so how to deal with him can also get the fastest result. There is no way he would feel comfortable with a stone hanging on the top. The third reason is that the inner door is different from the outer door. Suddenly there is an extra child placed in the inner door and it is difficult to hide it. It happens that Tang San's place is not close to the residence of other disciples of the outer door. So he is the best choice here.
Seeing Tang San silently looking at Wei Daomiao lying on the bed, Tang Qin opened his mouth and thought for a while but couldn't think of any good words to comfort him. In the end, he had no choice but to pat his shoulder: "This matter It's not your fault, just change your clothes, even if you have the inner strength, you can't get wet like this."
The moment Tang Qin was about to step out, Tang San suddenly spoke: "...Thank you, Master, for me."
"Ah, I understand, don't worry."
Taking a long breath, Tang San put on dry clothes, then went to close the window, but suddenly noticed something was wrong with the person on the bed. He rushed to the bedside to check, only to find out that Wei Daomiao had a nightmare. the result of.
The child's face was full of tears, his arms were waving in the air, and he was mumbling words such as "Don't kill me," "Mom, sister," "Please, don't kill me."
Seeing this, Tang San's breathing couldn't help but tremble. He gathered Wei Daomiao's hands in his palms, carefully lifted the person up and leaned into his arms, gently comforting him: "It's okay, no one will Don’t be afraid of those who kill you, I...I will protect you..."
Surprisingly, under Tang San's comforting words, Wei Daomiao actually gradually calmed down and fell asleep peacefully.
After laying Wei Daomiao down and covering him with the quilt, Tang San just sat on the ground beside the bed. After a while, he smiled sarcastically, not at others, but at himself. .
Isn't it ridiculous that the culprit who caused all this shamelessly wants to protect the only surviving victim?
Listening to the sound of rain outside the window fading, Tang San closed his eyes.
The lights in the house were on all night.
The next day.
Tang San opened his eyes early, staring aimlessly at a place on the ground in trance. Suddenly he heard the movement coming from around him. He quickly stood up to observe Wei Daomiao's condition, but suddenly he was faced with a pair of eyes. Eyes that seemed moistened by water.
His body became a little stiff, and Tang San's breathing slowed down a little. He was already prepared for the child in front of him to suddenly change his face.
The two looked at each other for a while, and the owner of the eyes blinked, looking at Tang San with some confusion: "Brother, was it you who saved me?"
"...What?" Tang San didn't sleep all night last night. Hearing Wei Daomiao's unexpected question, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"I remember that I rolled down the hillside. It hurt so much." As if remembering those pains, Wei Daomiao's mood was a little low, but he quickly returned to his previous appearance: "But I remember, there was a man wearing The big brother in your clothes picked me up and told me not to be afraid, saying he would protect me!"
"You, do you remember...something else?" Tang San's voice was dry.
Wei Daomiao really thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head. He still looked at Tang San: "Brother, you haven't told me yet if you saved me!"
"I..." Facing those clear eyes, Tang San couldn't say anything. He suddenly took half a step back, avoiding Wei Daomiao's sight, and then ran away, "I'll give it to you." You get something to eat."
Tang San came back not too slowly, with a bowl of white porridge in his hands and placed it on the table. He first lifted Wei Daomiao up and leaned against the bedside, then picked up the white porridge and sat on the edge of the bed.
Wei Daomiao is really obedient. The pampering of his family did not spoil him, but instead made him well-behaved and innocent.
"Do you still remember your name?"
"Hmm...don't remember..."
"Don't you even remember how you rolled down the hill?"
Wei Dao shook his head in confusion.
"..."
Tang San was silent, looking at the empty bowl in his hand in trance. It wasn't until Wei Daomiao carefully tugged at the hem of his clothes that he suddenly came back to his senses.
Smiling forcefully at Wei Daomiao, Tang San stood up: "You rest here for a while, I'll be back soon."
Soon, Tang Qin, who was full of worries, turned around and bumped into Tang San who had finished handling the tableware in front of the house. He quickly pulled him away: "Then the child is awake? How is it?"
After explaining the situation, Tang San looked in the direction of his house: "Now... I don't know what to do."
"...That's true." Tang Qin murmured to himself.
"what?"
"I had expected that this might happen." Tang Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "I have already asked the leader for instructions, and he said that you will take care of him."
"Me? But..." Tang San was a little in disbelief after hearing the news.
Tang Qin smiled and handed over the thing in his hand: "I know, I already said it's not your fault, don't think so much. Now, your mission reward."
Looking at the small bottles in Tang Qin's hand, Tang San pursed his lips, turned around and left: "No, I have to find the leader!"
"Hey!" Tang Qin quickly grabbed him and forced the elixir into Tang San's hand, "You deserve this, even though it was a mistake... Okay, okay, hurry up and take it."
Looking at the elixir in his hand, Tang San looked up at Tang Qin's leaving figure, finally put the elixir away and turned around to enter the house.
"Big brother, you're back!"
"Well." Tang San sat by the bed, his face couldn't help but become gentle, and his voice became much softer, "Since you can't remember your name, then... can I give you a name?"
"Okay!" Wei Daomiao blinked, looking completely trusting, obviously acquiescing that the person who saved him was Tang San.
"Tang Miao, your name is Tang Miao." As Tang San said, he took Wei Daomiao's hand and wrote these two words in his hand one stroke at a time.
After careful consideration, Wei Daomiao, no, Tang Miao probably had no objection to this name: "Well, then I will be called Tang Miao from now on! Big brother, what is your name?"
"Me?" Tang San looked deeply at the cheerful Tang Miao, but his heart tightened with sadness, "My name is Tang San."
"Tang...san..." Tang Miao tilted his head and thought seriously, then blinked, "I remember it!"
Tang San looked at Tang Miao and responded softly.
*
"Third Brother!"
"What's wrong?" Tang San caught the person rushing towards his arms and touched his head.
"I don't want to learn from Tang Qin anymore. There are so many miscellaneous herbs, how can I remember them?" Tang Miao hugged Tang San with both hands, and then looked up at him.
"But you don't like the things I practice..."
Tang Miao took a few steps back and snorted: "Then I can't be idle?"
"Ah Miao." Tang San was a little helpless, but he still leaned over to coax him, "Didn't you promise me originally? Learn more from Tang Qin, you can always use it in the future, be obedient."
"Oh——" Tang Miao puffed his lips, it wasn't that he really didn't want to learn anymore, he was just using this to cheat and act coquettishly with Tang San. After hearing what he said, he agreed, but his tone was protracted, and it showed that Some reluctance.
Sighing slightly, Tang San raised his hand and touched Tang Miao's head: "Be good." Whenever he did this, Tang Miao would always be as good as a cat whose fur has been smoothed.
Taking off the hand on his head and holding it, Tang Miao bit his lip: "Okay, I'll be good."
Four years later, Tang San gradually relaxed and took care of Tang Miao wholeheartedly. Seeing that he didn't like those who killed and killed, he asked Tang Qin to teach him something. As one of the few people who knew the whole story, Tang Qin Of course he was happy, and under the instruction of the headmaster and his master, he taught Tang Miao everything he knew.
Tang Miao is also very talented and has a photographic memory, which is of great help in learning herbal medicine knowledge. As for the classification of herbal medicines that are too complicated and too complicated for him to memorize, it is just because he is lazy, and he only blames Tang Miao for it. Three listening.
However, it is not that what happened back then left Tang Miao with no sequelae. Now he doesn't like rain, and he can't restrain his fear when encountering heavy rain and lightning. Whenever this happens, Tang San will hug people He coaxed her softly into his arms, accompanying Tang Miao through those rainy days that were difficult for him. Recently, Tang Miao's symptoms have improved a lot, and he is no longer unable to walk like at the beginning, but I still shiver all over and my limbs feel cold.
Holding Tang Miao's hand with his back, Tang San led the people up the mountain.
"Hey, third brother, where are you going?" Tang Miao said without resisting, "I have to go to class with Tang Qin today."
"Don't you want to go? I'll take you to relax and I'll take you to Tangchina later."
Tang San pulled Tang Miao all the way to the top of the mountain where Guijianchou was located, and pointed to the mountains and sky in the distance: "Look over there, isn't it beautiful?"
Staring at the magnificent scene in front of him, Tang Miao was speechless for a moment.
In the distance, there are many mountains, clouds and fog, and the dark blue mountains are hidden among them, hazy but clear.
"Third brother..."
"How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Looking at Tang San in a daze, Tang Miao nodded lightly.
"I used to be in a bad mood, so I often came here to see the scenery." Tang San led the people to sit down, and never let go of the hands he held, "Everyone's life is basically spent climbing. The first thing I heard A voice, the first sentence you learn, the first word you can write are all mountains you have climbed over. But people are never satisfied. Even if they stand on the top of the mountain, they just want to climb over it. Cross the next one higher to the mountain peak.”
"However, isn't this the meaning of our struggle?"
"Does Third Brother also want to reach a higher place?"
"Of course, it's just... I'm just an outer disciple. It's enough to practice what I have learned." Tang San smiled, and then looked at the clouds in front of him in trance.
Tang Miao looked at Tang San thoughtfully, then looked at the direction of his gaze, and finally said nothing.

A few days later, Tang San took on a task, which he had to leave Tang Clan to do. This had happened in the previous four years, and Tang Miao was used to it, and continued to do his own thing every day until Tang San left. On the third day, a thunderstorm came, which seemed to be bigger than the one four years ago.
Fortunately, it was still afternoon, so Tang Miao was still fine. He looked at the crackling rain outside, and gradually, a somewhat incredible idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
After swallowing, Tang Miao looked out the window again, gritted his teeth, took an umbrella and went out.
He rushed all the way to the Sutra Pavilion, looked at the inner disciples patrolling outside, raised a smile and said hello: "Brother, can I go to the first floor to find some ancient books to read?"
"Tang Miao, is it still raining so heavily?"
Tang Qin had special privileges and could enter and exit the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion at will. Most of them contained ancient ancient books or books on humanities and geography, and he was not afraid of leaking them. In the past four years, Tang Qin often took Tang Miao to read books and patrol. Everyone knows him, so he won't be stopped when he comes.
"Go in, don't stay too long."
Tang Miao naturally agreed, then quickly approached the door on the first floor, put the umbrella aside, and then opened the door and went in.
He walked straight to the stairs leading to the second floor. Tang Miao's purpose was not the books. He moved lightly and tried not to make a sound, but there was an elder guarding the second floor. Tang Miao avoided it at all costs. Not open.
Just when Tang Miao didn't know what to do, there was a sudden thunder outside. Amid everyone's surprised cries, a huge tree outside the Sutra Pavilion was struck down by lightning. The direction in which the tree fell was, It is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
There was so much commotion outside that the elder immediately flew out to observe the situation. Upon seeing this, he immediately helped to stop the falling trees.
Although he didn't know what happened for the time being, this did not prevent Tang Miao from running up to the third floor as fast as he could. When the elder came back, he could only see the empty second floor, and he sat down naturally and continued to meditate. Found nothing.
Tang Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief after touching the third floor, which was the top floor of the Sutra Pavilion. He took the time to step forward and take the Xuantian Baolu and others into his hands, and read them word by word from the beginning. Tang Miao read carefully. , also read quickly. After finishing these words, he had no intention of staying, restored everything to its original state, and quietly walked to the stairs.
Now Tang Miao encountered another problem. He had to go out under the eyes of the patrolling disciples, but he had to go back to the first level, and the elder on Tang Miao's only path would definitely be able to find his traces. This was a Dead end.
After struggling for a while, Tang Miao even wanted to go to the window to see if he could jump directly. At this time, an inner disciple hurriedly ran up to the second floor: "Second Elder, the leader wants to see you for something."
The second elder looked around the entire second floor again, and finally closed the window tightly before following the disciple out of the Scripture Deposit Pavilion.
This gave Tang Miao an excellent opportunity. He immediately returned to the first floor after hearing the sound of the door closing, and waited for a short while before opening the door and walking out.
