Chapter 134 The heart is easy to change, but the relationship is difficult to decide
The red clouds were turning towards the evening and the red sun was setting in the west. The five people left Zeshanfang and it was already late.
The number of pedestrians on Long Xiamen Street is gradually thinning, and the walls along the street are dotted with peanut trees and birds are chirping.
Petals of pink, white, red, and purple colors were carried out by gentle winds and scattered into the streets and ditches.
The willow catkins suddenly reunited and rushed towards the face, urging the women to cover their faces with their fans and walk quickly.
Fang Qidou, Tang Juan and his wife walked in front, casually talking about family affairs.
Yang Zhaoxi was a few steps behind. On the left was the elegant and elegant Cui Wan, and on the right was the exquisite and well-behaved Tan Qing.
The two girls were chattering, chatting with him about breathing, martial arts and swordsmanship, and then talking about hairpins, righteous buns and other accessories through him. Yang Shaoxia's face also showed a slight embarrassment.
When he walked to Xinzhong Bridge, Yang Chaoxi looked westward and saw the clear mountains in the evening, which were beyond words. When he looked back, he saw a beautiful woman in the spring water beside him, with a graceful figure and rosy eyebrows, which made him feel the acquired energy in his Dantian. , actually became agitated.
Yang Zhaoxi was greatly embarrassed and hurriedly took a few steps and rushed to Fang Qidou's side: "Senior Brother Fang, I saw several brothers from the 'Seven Heroes of Luozhong' outside Changxia Gate at noon. Later, when I returned to the temple, I didn't see them. There are traces of several people. But where did they go?"
Fang Qidou smiled and said: "Of course I'm going back to the camp. I joined the army to serve the country and kill the enemy. The six of them were not willing to be left behind. They each entered the Luofu camp one after another based on their father's friendship when they were soldiers in the mansion.
The second child is now the team leader, the third child, and the fourth child are already very senior, and they are all serving under the command of our team. The ‘Seven Heroes of Luo Zhong’ in the past are now all soldiers of the prosperous dynasty!”
Yang Zhaoxi also clasped his fists and praised: "A man, a real man, that's how it should be! If you have time someday, Senior Brother Fang can invite all the 'Seven Heroes of Luozhong'. I would like to use martial arts and wine to learn the martial arts skills of these brothers!"
Fang Qidou also cupped his fists and returned the greeting: "It's easy to say. But Junior Brother Yang, don't be arrogant. The 'Seven Heroes of Luo Zhong' have been with the army for defense every autumn, and their swords and guns have long been covered with the enemy's blood. With just a hint of murderous intent, they can wait for anyone in the world. I don’t dare to show off his strength.”
Yang Chaoxi's eyes lit up, and he was delighted to see Xun Xin: "If it's true as you said, I will challenge you, the Seven Heroes of Luozhong, one by one, so that you can become famous in the world. Haha!"
Fang Qidou raised his eyebrows: "Afraid of you? If you want to fight, come here and I'll accompany you at any time!" After saying that, he opened his fists and wanted to challenge Yang Zhaoxi.
Tang Juan's face darkened, and she kicked two people in the buttocks: "They beat and kill each other at every turn. Are the 'Seven Heroes of Luo Zhong' very majestic? Are the 'Young Young Heroes' very powerful?"
Yang Zhaoxi, Fang Qidou was caught off guard and was kicked until he rolled down among the grass.
Cui Wan and Qin Qing wanted to join in the fun when they saw Tang Juan taking action. Yang Zhaoxi and Fang Qidou jumped up, grabbed the road and fled. "Tap, step, step..." they shouted several times in a row, and Fang Qidou made a structure from wood and stone. As he flew across the Xinzhong Bridge, Yang Zhaoxi abandoned the bridge and ran towards Luoshui.
Tang Juan's expression was slightly stunned, but Cui Wan and Tan Qing were dumbfounded. They saw Yang Chaoxi's feet connected together, like a swallow copying the water, using the floating branches and leaves on the water to create a neat splash on the water. It took less than ten breaths. After a while, he had landed firmly on the other side of Luoshui River and turned his head to wave to them.
Tang Juan murmured: "Is this the light-body technique he used to chase Junior Sister Luo last night?"
Tan Qing's admiring eyes were full of excitement: "It should be! When the master mentioned it, I still refused to believe it! Now it seems that we have to find a reason to entangle senior brother Chong Lingzi and learn his body-lighting technique. !Senior Sister Cui, you won’t be jealous, right?”
Cui Wan was ashamed and angry. He raised his hand and patted Tan Qing on the head: "Jealous... you little girl, what do you think about all day long?"
While the three girls were chatting and joking, they also crossed Xinzhong Bridge. Cui Wan joked: "Chong Lingzi, your Qinggong is really exquisite! Girl Qin wishes she could offer her body to let you teach him, but I don't know what you want?"
"
Tan Qing put his hands on his hips and pouted: "No way! It's obviously Senior Sister Cui who wants to learn, I... I'm just accompanying her."
Tang Juan pushed the two of them away and said with a smile: "Chong Lingzi, what kind of skill is this? Senior sister has never heard of it."
Yang Chaoxi finally recovered from the bickering between Cui Wan and Qin Qing, nodded and said: "This is called 'Crossing the River with a Reed', and it is a light-body technique learned from a monk."
Fang Qidou also came over with a smile: "Not only do they want to learn it, but I am also jealous after seeing it. This technique is so good! Once you are in danger and defeated, you can run away. It is really suitable for both offense and retreat!"
Yang Zhaoxi looked strange, and after a while he said: "This 'One Reed Crossing the River' light skill is not difficult to learn. Senior Brother Fang, you can learn it, but if you are a woman... you will be relatively embarrassed."
Tan Qing's eyebrows were raised: "Why can't women learn it? Do you need to have skin-to-skin contact to learn this Qing Kung Fu? Humph! Senior Brother Chong Lingzi is a bad person... I remembered, the master said that you raped Senior Sister Luo last night
Before bringing her back, I put on her underwear..."
Tan Qing lost his voice and couldn't help but his cheeks turned red.
Cui Wan became furious: "Chong Lingzi, you are still so frivolous and shameless! I thought you had changed your ways after not seeing each other for a few years, but I never thought that Senior Sister Luo's violent death would reveal your true colors... Don't run away! Eat.
My sword..."
Yang Zhaoxi cried out in her heart: Aunt Chunxi, my nephew just couldn't bear it and did it casually. Why are you and her talking about this?
His feet were naturally very fast, and he said as he ran: "Wan'er, stop chasing me! Last night, I just obeyed the emergency and had no frivolous thoughts... I swear to the head office! Ouch..."
Yang Chaoxi exclaimed, but Cui Wan drew his sword and swung it down, splitting the back of his robe into two pieces, which were shaped like a swallow's tail when blown by the swift wind caused by the flight.
Qin Qing was shocked when he saw Cui Wan slashing with his sword. He rushed up to seize Cui Wan's sword and persuaded: "Senior Sister Cui, I believe that Senior Brother Chong Lingzi. If he hadn't chased Senior Sister Luo back last night, he would have helped her."
Wouldn't it be even more humiliating to wear good clothes and be seen by so many streetwalkers and bad guards?"
Cui Wan sheathed his sword and his face softened slightly: "Chong Lingzi, then you need to explain why women can't learn this light skill?"
Yang Zhaoxi clasped her fists in submission and said, "I worry too much. Everyone can learn it, especially women. After a few days, let's find a pool and I will teach you step by step."
The small incident on the way did not hurt the friendship. Fang Qidou and Tang Juan found it quite interesting to watch the three of them shouting and fighting. The five of them went all the way north, crossed the Xinzhong Bridge, and then turned towards the Bronze Camel to the east.
After less than one stick of incense, they entered the Fang family's house.
The layout of the square house remains the same, with a tall Chongping screen at the entrance. The trees in the front yard are much taller and more lush, and there are much more rootless grass on the eaves than five years ago.
Fang Qidou summoned the housekeeper and arranged Yang Chaoxi, Cui Wan, and Qin Qing in the guest room in the front yard. He also asked the cook to prepare three more vegetarian meals and deliver them to the guest room later. Then he took Tang Juan's hand and returned to the room.
The east wing of the courtyard.
That night, Yang Chaoxi stayed up all night. Instead, he sat on the couch and practiced Qigong. By the next morning, his mind was clearer and his spirit was full of energy. He had already touched the threshold of breakthrough, and he only needed to find a place of purity.
Therefore, if you practice meditation in seclusion and work hard, things will come naturally. However, many things have been going through your mind one by one recently, and you still can't calm down.
The next morning, the five of them finished their morning meal and made plans for the day. Considering what they knew so far and there were still some omissions, Yang Zhaoxi decided to visit Wei Chiyuan, the master of Hongdao Temple. As a disciple of Hongdao Temple, Fang Qi
Dou, of course, went with him, just in time to visit the master and all his brothers.
Five years ago, everyone in the Taoist sect knew that Gongsun Xuantong and Yuchi Yuan had cut off their robes, and the disciples of the two temples had almost cut off all contact. Although Yang Chaoxi's Taoist records were still there, he had left the Shangqing temple and visited Yuchi this time.
As a temple owner, you don’t have to worry about the bad reputation of “deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors”.
It is more than ten miles away from Tongtuofang to Xiuwenfang, where Hongdao Temple is located. Yang Zhaoxi and Fang Qidou were both dressed in ordinary clothes, with black turbans on their heads, just like people walking on the street.
The two chatted while walking, from their first acquaintance in Taiwei Palace, to being a guest at Hongdao Temple, to everyone rescuing the kidnapped Yang Chaoxi, to staying in Linji Temple, and rescuing his mother from the siege in Beishi City, until later Fang Qidou captured the heart of Tang Dynasty and married her back to Tang Dynasty.
Juan... actually gradually experienced some vicissitudes of life, feeling that the past is hard to recall.
"...So, from that day when you and Senior Sister Tang sent me and my mother off and returned to Luoyang together, things took a turn for the better. But later, you used some despicable means to deceive Senior Sister Tang.
What?" Yang Chaoxi teased.
"Junior brother Yang, you are also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, so you can speak more elegantly! Of course there are ways, but I am completely sincere and loyal to Sister Juan, and the world can learn from it! I swear by heaven,
There is no need to worry about being struck by lightning..." Fang Qidou responded with a smile, but he was not afraid to express his feelings to him.
"Senior Sister Tang comes from the Tang Sect, which is unexpected. If you hadn't mentioned it, Senior Brother Fang, I wouldn't have known that I was so close to the real Jianghu Sect!" Yang Zhaoxi said with emotion.
"It's a pity that the Tang family in Luoyang is just a side branch and is only proficient in mechanism skills. After the Jizhou Rebellion, she was the only orphan left. If it hadn't been for Tong Guanzhu's rescue back then, Juanmei would not be alive today."
Fang Qidou also became unusually serious, "Later, I proposed to take her to Yizhou to recognize her ancestors, but she refused."
"Why is this?" Yang Zhaoxi asked.
"Juanmei said that although the Tang clan is a large clan, it refuses to rely on the imperial court, and has always been feared and ostracized by the public. Moreover, the Tang clan is proficient in martial arts, assassination, poisoning, mechanisms, formations, etc., and behaves righteously.
Even people in the world of martial arts keep a distance from Xie. Therefore, it may not be a good thing to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan."
Fang Qidou explained. The Fang clan is also quite familiar with the rules of the rivers and lakes.
It's just that the Fang clan mostly interacted with local officials and often provided assistance. It can be said that they were acting as aides, wandering between temples and rivers and lakes. Therefore, the Fang clan members were engaged in imperial examinations, farming, military service, Taoism, and business.
, will be protected by the local government.
"While I was a guest in your house, I also discovered an interesting thing." Yang Zhaoxi changed the subject, raised his head and smiled, "It must be your idea to name your son 'Zijian', directly after Cao Zijian, the 'Poetry in Seven Steps'", right?
"
"That's natural! As talented as I am, I am already one of the 'Seven Dou' talents. In the future, my son will definitely surpass Cao Zijian's 'Eight Dou talents'. Even if I borrow his name, it is not an insult to him."
!”
Fang Qidou raised his head, his eyes were higher than his head, and he had an air of arrogance that looked down on the other scholars. In a daze, Yang Chaoxi saw the cynical Fang Qidou again.
"Fang Zijian will become a general and prime minister in the future. As an elder, I, Yang Chaoxi, are honored to do so!" After hearing this, Yang Chaoxi's smile became even stronger, but he could only bow his hands in admiration.
Fang Qidou narrowed his eyes and made a very helpful expression: "Junior brother Yang, have you made a decision in your heart?"
"What decision?" Yang Zhaoxi looked suspicious.
"Junior Sister Cui and Junior Sister Tan, you can't have your cake and eat it too, which one are you going to choose? Or are you greedy and want to be blessed by everyone?" Fang Qidou smiled deeply and got straight to the point.
Yang Chaoxi has actually been avoiding such thoughts since he reunited with Cui Wan and Qin Qing. The old wounds in his heart have not healed, and he occasionally dreams at night about his past with Guan Lin'er, and even... shame
Some of Yu Qiqi’s delusions.
At this time, the topic was put on the table by Fang Qidou, and he had to start thinking and even making choices:
It can be said that Cui Wan and him didn't know each other without fighting. The two encounters were not pleasant at first, but the memory was particularly deep. But when time precipitated impurities, what was left was only clear warmth. With this warmth, Cui Wan was here
In my own heart, the weight is heavier.
Tan Qing was still young at the time, so she only pestered him to learn swordsmanship. Later, she gave him a sachet and three golden beans. The golden beans were still there, but the sachet had long since disappeared, and she didn't have much other memories. But now she
That appearance that resembled Guan Lin'er finally made him feel uneasy.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Fang Qidou thought he was just avoiding answering, so he stopped asking questions. He changed the subject and said, "Xiu Wenfang is just in front. By this time, the master should be at the martial arts field."
Yang Zhaoxi said a deep "hmm" as a response, with a somewhat self-deprecating tone.
All kinds of thoughts surged in my heart: Can a pretentious person like me have another choice...
