Two days later, Xu Guiju summoned all the elder disciples early in the morning.
It turned out that bandits harassed the villagers frequently at the foot of the mountain recently, Hall Master Xu received complaints and requests for help from the people.This famous orthodox sect often has to undertake the important task of guarding the law and order of one side, and Tianxia Lunwutang is also a special sect. When the disciples entered the mountain, they all went to worship the master and worship the ancestor master. In this case, they also bear the responsibility on their shoulders.
Furthermore, those rogues who looted the people were just a group of ignorant and incompetent bullying hooligans, and they had no masters.It just so happens that the first class of disciples has reached the fifth year, and there are only a few months left before they will leave their teachers. Although their martial arts have achieved some success, they have little experience in the world. It may be difficult for them to take on big responsibilities in the future. This is a good experience for them. Chance.So Xu Guiju decided that a martial artist would lead a group of disciples down the mountain to catch the thief.
The news made the teenagers very excited, and they immediately picked up the guy's business and went down the mountain.
Sure enough, except for the fact that it took some effort to find the rogues, they were wiped out with almost no effort.
This season coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the folks have temple fairs and sacrificial activities for several days.These teenagers practiced martial arts on Lingwu Mountain all day long. They hadn't participated in folk activities for many years. They finally had the opportunity to go down the mountain, and they were all reluctant to go back.
In the last few months, there was not much study in the Tianxia Lunwu hall, even if they went back, they were just asking the disciples to practice on their own.Therefore, the martial artist allowed his disciples to stay at the foot of the mountain for a few days, and return to the mountain after the festive season.
It just so happened that Ji Qingze has been in a very low mood these days because of Ji Baiwu and Ji Zhengchang's arrival on Lingwu Mountain.The rest of the disciples played together in groups, only Gao Xuanchen took Ji Qingze out of the team and walked around with him to relax.
On the night of August [-]th, all the people in the city flocked to the river, and saw the bright lights on the edge of the small river, connected into one piece, looking down from the high ground, like a galaxy on the ground.
The common people around Lingwu Mountain had the habit of setting off lantern boats during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Gao Xuanchen and Ji Qingze also came to join in the fun.
Neither Suzhou nor Chuxiu Mountain has the custom of setting off lantern boats, and this is the first time they have experienced it.Gao Xuanchen got two light boats out of nowhere, looked around, learned from the people around him and got some melons and fruits on the boats as sacrifices.
Gao Xuanchen said: "I just asked, we have to write our wishes on paper and tie them to the boat."
None of them believed in gods or worshiped Buddha, Ji Qingze hesitated and said, "Do you want to write?"
"Write!" Gao Xuanchen said, "Since they're all here, let's make a full set. Besides, these snacks are sacrifices to the gods. We gave them away, so we don't ask for any power or anything." As a gift in return, that’s not a loss!”
Ji Qingze laughed out loud at his fallacies, shook his head, and went to ask someone to borrow a pen and paper.
When it came time to write their wishes, both of them had difficulties.Wish - of course not without it, who in this world does not have many wishes?If you write everything carefully, you may not be able to finish writing until dawn.It's not difficult to pick one or two wishes that you want to realize the most, but if you write them on paper, they will be seen by others. The biggest wish is often the deepest secret hidden in your heart.
Ji Qingze tapped a pen on the paper, hesitated for a moment, then secretly raised his eyes to look at Gao Xuanchen.It happened that Gao Xuanchen was also looking at him, and he looked back guiltily, but Gao Xuanchen approached carelessly: "Let me see, what did you write?"
Seeing that Ji Qingze hadn't written anything yet, he snorted unhappily and shrank back.
After dawdling for a while, the two finally finished writing.Ji Qingze was about to tie the note to the boat, but was snatched by Gao Xuanchen.I saw three words written on the note - "Long Xiangshou", but I didn't write who was with whom.
Ji Qingze blushed and snatched back the note, not to be outdone, but also to see Gao Xuanchen.Gao Xuanchen didn't hide much, and showed him directly.
Ji Qingze was shocked when he saw it.There were four words on the note that he couldn't think of - "The world is peaceful"!
He shook the note speechlessly: "Your wish is 'world peace'?"
Gao Xuanchen took it for granted: "Yeah, how about it, isn't it a good wish? I didn't even think of it myself! Hahaha..."
Ji Qingze: "..."
What kind of thoughts he had in writing those three words just now, and what kind of mood he felt when he saw the four words that Gao Xuanchen was joking about, only he himself knows.He felt that he had been fooled, bit his cheek and sulked for a while.When Gao Xuanchen asked him to release the light boat together, he stood up and walked towards the river.
The two carefully pushed their little light boat into the water, and watched the boat gradually drift away with their wishes.
Gao Xuanchen didn't look away until the light boat drifted away to an invisible place, and took Ji Qingze's hand: "Let's go, let's go shopping elsewhere."
The hand he caught was warm and soft, but he also touched a small, hard object that had been warmed.He opened his palm and saw that it was a piece of jade carving.
Ji Qingze put the jade carving into his palm, then took it back, and said softly, "For you."
"Huh?" Gao Xuanchen picked up the jade carving and brought it to his eyes for a closer look.The carving process is a bit rough, obviously not from the hands of the craftsman, the shape is a small animal.He said, "Is this a jade cat? Did you carve it yourself?"
Ji Qingze lowered his head and rubbed the dirt on the ground with his toes: "Yes."
"Wow! No wonder you often didn't see people a while ago, and you refused to tell me what you were doing when asked! So you're holding back! Who did you learn jade carving from? Shen Feiqi?"
Ji Qingze continued to nod.
Shen Huajiang's martial arts practice is mediocre, but he can learn a lot of complicated small skills.He can forge swords, carve, and paint well.A while ago, he carved an exquisite phoenix and gave it to Jiang Ruxing. When Ji Qingze saw it, he moved his mind too, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Gao Xuanchen said: "Why is it a cat? Because I gave you a lot, you gave me a little jade cat?"
This time, it took a while for Ji Qingze to say "hmm". ——In fact, he originally wanted to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to carve a rabbit in the moon and give it to Gao Xuanchen, but it was too difficult, so he gave up on the moon; and then, when he was carving the rabbit, he shook his hand and cut off the rabbit's long ears.So the little jade rabbit became the little jade cat.
Gao Xuanchen didn't know this, and if he knew it, he wouldn't care. He happily took off the pendant he was wearing, and tied the little jade cat with a rope, and put it directly around his neck.
"Xiao Duanfang, you are so kind." Gao Xuanchen said, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Ji Qingze also smiled.
The two went ashore holding hands, and walked up the road, gradually getting away from the noisy crowd.
They didn't know where they were going, it was an aimless road, but they all chose a quieter and darker direction.
As they walked, Ji Qingze said, "Yucheng."
"Huh?" Gao Xuanchen looked back at him.In the darkness, Ji Qingze did not avoid his gaze.
"Have you made up your mind?" Ji Qingze asked softly.
Before Gao Xuanchen could answer, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting and calling for help not far ahead.
"Let me go! Come, help!"
The two looked at each other and immediately ran towards the direction of the sound.
In the darkness, in a secluded alley, there were two black shadows wrestling together.Looking at it like this, it doesn't look like they have practiced martial arts, but just two ordinary people.It was the one who was crushed below who yelled for help. When the person above heard someone approaching, he obviously panicked, pulled out something with force, got up and ran.
"Don't take my money!" shouted the caller.
Ji Qingze swept towards the fleeing man like the wind, grabbed his shoulders in a blink of an eye, and flung him back as if lifting a piece of clothing, and he threw the man back.
Gao Xuanchen saw Ji Qingze made a move, thinking that he was no longer needed, so he walked over slowly.When he got closer, he realized that the person calling for help just now was a little beggar in rags.
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the little beggar's luck is very good, everyone is kind, and his hands are more generous than usual. The little beggar has collected a lot of money, has a full meal, and is planning to find a place to rest.It's a pity that people's luck is too good, so it's easy to be unlucky. In the middle of the night, I ran into a hooligan in an alley and wanted to rob him of the money he had collected during the festival.
The hooligan who robbed the money was thin and weak, and his accent was not from the local area. He probably wandered here because he couldn't make a living.He was thrown by Ji Qingze, knowing that he was kicked on the iron plate today, but he still said in a dirty voice: "Meddle in your own business! Do you know who I am?"
Ji Qingze answered his words with a good temper: "Who?"
The hooligan got stuck for a while, and shouted: "My elder brother is a well-known master in the Jianghu! You let me go now wisely, and I will spare you. Otherwise, if my elder brother finds out, you will not have a good life!"
Gao Xuanchen burst out laughing.This guy spoke harsh words, but he couldn't even tell his elder brother's name.So he stepped forward, clasped the man's collarbone, clasped his fingers inwardly, and said with a smile, "How do you know that you will live to see your elder brother?"
The man's face changed drastically, but he didn't know where Gao Xuanchen was pressing, and he couldn't even utter a sound. He was shocked and frightened, tears and snot dripping down his nose.
Ji Qingze came over, picked up the money bag that the man left behind, and threw it back to the little beggar.He patted Gao Xuanchen's hand again, signaling Gao Xuanchen to let go.
"I'll let you go," he said quietly.Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which should be a day for family reunion.Seeing the tears on the face of this person who was frightened by Gao Xuanchen, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of compassion, "As long as you promise not to steal or plunder again, make a good living. I am a disciple of the Martial Arts Hall under heaven, Ji Qingze. Whoever you want to come to me, just come and find me. If you let me know that you commit another crime, I will not let you go."
The gangster didn't dare to say anything, he scrambled and ran towards the depths of the alley.
Gao Xuanchen curled his lips and said, "Just let him go like this? Maybe he was caught among the gangsters. Don't you hand him over to the martial artist?"
The rogues who looted the people a few days ago were originally a group of mobs. Although the teachers and students of the Tianxia Lunwu Hall found a den and caught them, it was inevitable that some escaped.If this person is really one of the rogues, if he is caught and handed over to a martial artist, his hands and feet will definitely be broken.Among those rogues, the leaders were all killed by the martial artist, and some rogues who had never killed anyone had their arms broken.This move is not only to punish the thieves, but also to make an example to prevent the thieves around from attacking the common people.
Gao Xuanchen wasn't very meddling in the first place, so he didn't care how he was dealt with, but he thought that according to Ji Qingze's temper, he would definitely act in accordance with the rules.
However, Ji Qingze looked up at the full moon in the sky, and sighed: "I saw that he only robbed money and didn't hurt anyone. He may not be a big treacherous person. It's a big festival...forget it."
Gao Xuanchen shrugged.
Ji Qingze comforted the little beggar again, telling him that if he was bullied again, he could go to the Tianxia Lunwu Hall to find him.
After solving the matter, the two turned around and walked back.
Fang walked not far away, Gao Xuanchen suddenly turned his head and looked back.
Ji Qingze was taken aback by him, and said, "What's wrong?"
Gao Xuanchen looked around, frowned, and shook his head: "Actually, from the time I put the lights on earlier, I felt as if someone was following us and watching us."
Ji Qingze was taken aback and held his breath to listen carefully, but he didn't hear anything.Their kung fu is not weak, or Gao Xuanchen thinks too much, or if he can follow them without being discovered, he must be a very powerful master.
Gao Xuanchen touched his chin and said, "Could it be that some martial artist secretly followed us, wanting to see a good show?"
Ji Qingze thought too much following his words, and couldn't help but stuttered: "Wh, what a good show?"
Gao Xuanchen rolled his eyes cunningly, stared at Ji Qingze sideways for a while, then used his hands to open the skirt of his clothes, deliberately scratched his head to flirt, and his voice was ambiguous and cohesive: "You said it was in the middle of the night, in the dead of night, how could there be What a good show? It must be something not so proper?"
Ji Qingze's face turned red, and he turned around and left.
Gao Xuanchen laughed and chased after him.
The two fought and laughed all the way back.
It turned out that bandits harassed the villagers frequently at the foot of the mountain recently, Hall Master Xu received complaints and requests for help from the people.This famous orthodox sect often has to undertake the important task of guarding the law and order of one side, and Tianxia Lunwutang is also a special sect.

Ji Qingze continued to nod.

Gao Xuanchen saw Ji Qingze made a move, thinking that he was no longer needed, so he walked over slowly.When he got closer, he realized that the person calling for help just now was a little beggar in rags.

The hooligan who robbed the money was thin and weak, and his accent was not from the local area. He probably wandered here because he couldn't make a living.He was thrown by Ji Qingze, knowing that he was kicked on the iron plate today, but he still said in a dirty voice: "Meddle in your own business!

Ji Qingze answered his words with a good temper: "Who?"
The hooligan got stuck for a while, and shouted: "My elder brother is a well-known master in the Jianghu! You let me go now wisely, and I will spare you. Otherwise, if my elder brother finds out, you will not have a good life!"
Gao Xuanchen burst out laughing.This guy spoke harsh words, but he couldn't even tell his elder brother's name.So he stepped forward, clasped the man's collarbone, clasped his fingers inwardly, and said with a smile, "How do you know that you will live to see your elder brother?"
The man's face changed drastically, but he didn't know where Gao Xuanchen was pressing, and he couldn't even utter a sound. He was shocked and frightened, tears and snot dripping down his nose.
Ji Qingze came over, picked up the money bag that the man left behind, and threw it back to the little beggar.He patted Gao Xuanchen's hand again, signaling Gao Xuanchen to let go.
"I'll let you go," he said quietly.Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which should be a day for family reunion.Seeing the tears on the face of this person who was frightened by Gao Xuanchen, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of compassion, "As long as you promise not to steal or plunder again, make a good living. I am a disciple of the Martial Arts Hall under heaven, Ji Qingze. Whoever you want to come to me, just come and find me. If you let me know that you commit another crime, I will not let you go."
The gangster didn't dare to say anything, he scrambled and ran towards the depths of the alley.
Gao Xuanchen curled his lips and said, "Just let him go like this? Maybe he was caught among the gangsters. Don't you hand him over to the martial artist?"
The rogues who looted the people a few days ago were originally a group of mobs. Although the teachers and students of the Tianxia Lunwu Hall found a den and caught them, it was inevitable that some escaped.If this person is really one of the rogues, if he is caught and handed over to a martial artist, his hands and feet will definitely be broken.Among those rogues, the leaders were all killed by the martial artist, and some rogues who had never killed anyone had their arms broken.This move is not only to punish the thieves, but also to make an example to prevent the thieves around from attacking the common people.

However, Ji Qingze looked up at the full moon in the sky, and sighed: "I saw that he only robbed money and didn't hurt anyone. He may not be a big treacherous person. It's a big festival...forget it."
Gao Xuanchen shrugged.
Ji Qingze comforted the little beggar again, telling him that if he was bullied again, he could go to the Tianxia Lunwu Hall to find him.
After solving the matter, the two turned around and walked back.
Fang walked not far away, Gao Xuanchen suddenly turned his head and looked back.
Ji Qingze was taken aback by him, and said, "What's wrong?"
