the enlightener says

"I knew you wouldn't be safe tonight." The man glared at Cai Yan, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look too angry, but mostly helpless.

"The family has already discovered that you have escaped, and my mother is wiping tears at home, saying that if something happens to you, she will not live... I have no choice but to accept my father's order, saying that I want me to catch you back , Discipline and discipline you for being unfilial..." He looked at Qin Ke, coughed and continued: "Unfilial son."

"At the end of the day, you're still here to arrest me..." Cai Yan said with a bitter face, "Mother's best thing is to magnify small things, and in the end, the whole family must be disturbed. So is Dad, so I'll just come out. How can you be unfilial? Do you have to shut me up at home? How can you know what it looks like outside just by reading a book? How can the words and pictures in the book be the same as what you see with your own eyes!"

"You can be content. Dad specially invited the great Confucian in Ding'an City just for you. When he invited him, he was willing to come to the mansion and only teach you. You slipped out while the lanterns were hanging at the lantern festival. , but the room was closed tightly on purpose, lit candles and asked Xiaolan to wear your clothes and pretend to be studying hard, it would be strange if Dad wasn’t angry.” The man sighed and said, “If I hadn’t stopped Xiaolan, I’m afraid A board is indispensable."

"Thank you. I knew you were a good man, so I definitely wouldn't want to see Xiaolan get beaten..." Cai Yan stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Then you will be a good man to the end and don't arrest me, okay? I After playing for a while, I will go back by myself, really!"

The two are obviously brothers, and they are both relaxed and happy when they talk. Although Cai Yan is begging, they are more of an equal attitude. She put on airs a little because she kept shaking her head and smiling wryly because of Cai Yan's words.

"Hey. What's the matter with you two?" However, the conversation between them would not seem strange in any place in normal times, but when there was Wu Ting wearing a Rakshasa mask among them, it would be strange at this time. It looked very weird.

Of course, Wu Ting, holding a hatchet, could not accept that he was ignored by the three of them. He couldn't bear it and yelled: "You bastards, why don't you think I don't exist?"

As he said that, he walked towards the man aggressively, watching his movements, he planned to hack this elegant and noble man to death on the spot first.

Of course, Qin Ke would not let such a thing happen, but just as soon as he lifted his foot, he felt Cai Yan holding him behind him, Qin Ke turned his head, Cai Yan's bright eyes met him, he shook his head, He whispered: "It's okay."

Wu Ting has already walked in front of the man. In his opinion, this man is exactly the kind of Gaoliang boy born with a golden key in his mouth that he hates the most. In the middle of the day, drinking high-quality tea, he only knows how to talk and talk about wars on paper every day, but he sees the suffering of the people and the wars in the world as nothing.

Pooh!If Laozi can also have such a birth, if he can live his life without running around for a full meal, and has a prominent family background as a step up, who dares to say that Laozi will not become one of the world's powerful?

He held the ax high, aimed at the man's neck, and chopped down vigorously, as if he was about to chop a piece of wood.There was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth under the mask, I really want to see if the bones of you noble people can be harder than those of the poor!

I'm afraid such a rich and powerful child has never seen blood, has he?Hot, viscous, hot blood with a stench, when they splash out, it means that you have one less enemy.

Anyone who stops you in this world is your enemy, whether it is a weak nobleman or a weak old woman, as long as they stop you, they deserve to die.

For bandits, the law of the jungle is the truth, I just hope that he will not be incontinent before he dies.

But soon, Wu Ting was stunned.

With the ax swung out, he thought he could see bright red flesh blooming in front of him, but the scene in front of him was not like this, the white neck remained unchanged in front of him, but between his ax and neck, how many raised a hand.

A... hand holding the blade of his axe.

Look carefully, in fact, he didn't hold the ax blade directly, but left some gaps in the palm of his hand. The five fingers were like a pair of iron clamps, firmly stuck to his axe, no matter how much he added. Even with all his strength, he was still unable to move forward even an inch.

Chapter 234 I will not kill you

"Almost forgot about you..." The man stood calmly, the elegant aura on his body gradually faded, his eyes turned to Wu Ting's face, suddenly as cold as a steel knife, his voice was unhurried: "You just said, Whose father is it?"

"Your mother..." Wu Ting had vaguely guessed the cultivation level of the man in front of him, but he couldn't believe that his luck was so bad. After yelling and cursing, he raised his other hand and pointed at the man's back again. The face was chopped off!

The next moment, Wu Ting's whole body was hit by a huge force, his legs were hanging in the air, he felt his abdomen was hit hard by a sledgehammer, and a stream of bitter water spit out from his mouth, When his legs touched the ground again, he could no longer support his body, and he knelt down in front of the man, hunched over like an old dog that had been drained of strength.

The man looked down at him coldly, and said: "It was the second time just now. First I insulted my father, and then I insulted my mother. Tell me, what should you do?"

His voice was not very loud, but when he said it, there was an indescribable majesty. Standing there, he looked at Wu Ting like a wild dog in embarrassment, which was already daunting.

The rakshasa mask on Wu Ting's face had been crooked in the blow just now and was stained with the acid water he vomited out. The original fierce image now looked a bit funny and miserable.

He took off the mask and threw it aside, this action made his lower abdomen throb again, he snorted, and said: "I can't imagine that a master who has broken through the three realms will bully a little shrimp like me."

The man sneered slightly: "Why, are you not convinced?"

"If it were you, would you be convinced?" Wu Ting gritted his teeth and said, "I can't beat you, but if you didn't rely on your family background to have such a good cultivation, how could you beat me?"

The man shook his head and said with a somewhat disdainful smile: "My cultivation is indeed somewhat dependent on my family background, but you don't need to use this to provoke me. Things like birth and status are not up to people to decide, but It is determined by God. I was born in a wealthy family, and this is not something I can choose, not to mention that there is no fault. Princes and generals are also subject to rain and wind, and the world is ups and downs. Who can explain clearly? "

He looked at Wu Ting coldly, and said: "But since you have provoked me, you have to blame yourself for this result, and you don't have to pretend to be a good person. At least from what you did, the blood on your hands is absolutely Not too much, if I didn't have this level of cultivation, I should have died under your axe just now. If you want to kill me, do I have to cater to you?"

Wu Ting's expression changed a few times, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. He gritted his teeth, knowing that it was impossible for him to escape from the man in front of him. There was death left and right. It would be better to die more heroically. He raised his head , looked at the man and said: "There are a few nonsense, if you want to kill, kill, you don't have to pretend here. I fell down today, it was my bad luck, 20 years later, I will still be a good man, and I will kill you at that time No!"

"Speak harshly?" The man shook his head, "It's a pity that no one has ever known what happens after a person dies, and it's impossible for anyone to know. You go, I won't kill you."

"You...don't kill me?" Wu Ting was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "Aren't you lying to me? Hey, I have been in the arena for many years, don't think I don't know, all promises are bullshit! Maybe I As soon as you turn your head, your ultimate move comes..."

The man laughed and said, "If I kill you, do you still need to turn your head?"

He put his eyes on Qin Ke, and then on Cai Yan, paused for a while, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "If it were any other time, you would have died already. But today, with my dearest relatives present, I I don't want her to see blood on my hands, before I change my mind, you'd better leave early, or you won't be able to leave by then, and you will regret it."

Wu Ting's eyes were solemn, and he looked at the man carefully, as if he wanted to find out some hypocrisy from his expression, but after searching for a long time, he didn't feel that the man was lying to him.

Could it be that this guy really intends to let him go?

No, this kind of gentry nobleman, who spends his days in the city, may not be able to go to battle once in his life. I'm afraid he doesn't dare to kill people at all, so he said these beautiful words to let himself go.

Thinking of this, Wu Ting gritted his teeth fiercely, and stood up very bachelorly, anyway, he never cared about such things as face when he was in the arena.

It is a good thing for a man to be bloody, but if his mind is only full of bloody, and he doesn't know that "a good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses", then he is stupid.

He has been a bandit for so many years, and he knows one thing very well: as long as a person is alive, it is better than dead.

He cupped his hands and snorted, "Don't expect me to thank you!"

Then he clutched his stomach and limped away from the other side of the alley - he was so angry and bloody in his body now that he had just fought with Qin Ke, he avoided Qin Ke's poke in his dantian, and leaned The most important thing is his many years of practice experience, but when fighting against men, the gap between the realms is like a world, and it cannot be easily bridged.

The man didn't care about it, because he lost his identity.Stepping up to Qin Ke, he looked him up and down, and said, "This is..."

"It's Qin Ke from the Mohist family." Cai Yan answered first, and pulled Qin Ke behind him, like a hen protecting its cubs, "Qin Ke, this is my brother, his name is Cai Xiang."

Cai Xiang looked at Cai Yan dumbfounded, and said, "What are you doing in the way, do I want to hurt him?"

"Then who knows. What if Dad asks you to beat up all the people who have spoken to me and prevent them from interacting with me again." Cai Yan rolled her eyes. In front of his elder brother, his voice There is always a bit of willfulness, as if he is not the chic and unrestrained talent just now, but just a little brother who wants to ride on his brother's neck all day long... It seems that there is still a bit of girlishness?

Qin Ke looked at Cai Yan's side face, thinking that from this angle, it became more and more difficult to distinguish between male and female.

Cai Xiang smiled softly and said: "Father is not an unreasonable person, how can you say something so terrible, beat everyone who has spoken to you, then what kind of person is he? What kind of person am I? Can the Cai family be laughed out of their teeth in Ding'an City?"

"Here, little brother Qin, right?" Cai Xiang looked at Qin Ke, and first inspected the plain cotton clothes on his body, but felt that although this young man didn't look very well dressed, he had his own He didn't panic when facing himself with the aura he got from the place of power and wealth, his eyes were calm, as if he didn't look special in front of him.

He frowned slightly, and then turned his attention to the Bodhisattva sword in his hand.

"Brother Qin, I wonder if I can take a look at your sword?" Cai Xiang's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly asked softly.

Qin Ke lowered his head and glanced at the Bodhisattva. After hesitating for a while, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, this is a family tradition. My family said that even if I die, I can't hand over this sword to others."

"Really." Now that we're talking about this, as Cai Xiang's identity, it's not easy to force him, "Then there's no need, I'm just curious to see the Buddhist sentences engraved on the scabbard of this sword. That being the case, can I ask what is the name of this sword?"

Qin Ke looked at Cai Xiang, but this time he did not refuse. Gao Changgong said that the Bodhisattva sword has never appeared in front of the world since it changed its name. Even in Jingwu, only Zhuge Wanling and Huang Hansheng knew that he kept the sword. Sword, so it doesn't hurt to talk about it: "The name of the sword, Bodhisattva."

"Bodhisattva?" Cai Xiang looked at the scabbard from a distance, didn't think of anything, just smiled and said, "Good name. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who walks the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, sees that all five aggregates are empty, saves everything Misfortune...it must be a benevolent person who forged this sword."

Chapter 235 Putting the Lantern

Qin Ke was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Cai Xiang to utter the Buddhist mantra on his scabbard so easily, and fell into silence for a moment - you must know, these mantras are in a strange language that he can't understand Writing, if Gao Changgong and Zhou Gongjin hadn't read it to him several times, it would be impossible for him to know.

From Cai Xiang's perspective, only a small part of the writing on his scabbard could be seen, and he couldn't help but subconsciously hide the sword behind his back.

Cai Yan seemed indifferent, and just spread her hands and said: "Okay. Brother, I know you are well-educated, so don't show off here. If you want to show off, show off with the lord when you meet him."

"Nonsense again." Although Cai Xiang was still smiling, there was yearning in her eyes, "Who is the lord? Who am I? How can I show off in front of him with my meager knowledge?"

But when Cai Yan interrupted him, he remembered what he was going to say: "Okay. Little... brother, do you want to go home with me?"

Cai Yan knew that he was going to talk about this matter, and hurriedly shook her head like a rattle: "If you don't go back, if you want to go back, go back by yourself."

"Alright then." Cai Xiang nodded, "Then I'll go back by myself."

"You go back by yourself?" Cai Yan was stunned, with a bit of joy on her face, but tried her best to hold back, and asked cautiously: "Aren't you taking me back?"

"Laugh if you want to. I'm not a father, so I don't care about you." Cai Xiang said helplessly, "What else can I do if you don't want to go back with me? Forcibly tie you back? Then you will be with your sister-in-law every now and then. Saying bad things about me in front of me, I can't make it through this day? Dad really asked me to arrest you, but I think, this lantern society is so chaotic, it's reasonable to not find you. As for... Mother, you still Don't play crazy until it's too late, go back earlier to make her feel at ease."

"Okay!" Cai Yan immediately cheered, and regardless of the distance she kept, she ran up and hugged Cai Xiang's neck in one jump.

Cai Xiang is tall and tall, while Cai Yan looks petite and exquisite in front of him, so naturally the whole body hangs on his body.

"Brother, I knew you were the best." Cai Yan laughed, "When I get home, I'll bring you your favorite hazelnut cake!"

Cai Xiang's eyes were gentle, and she reached out to support Cai Yan's waist, so that he wouldn't fall down by herself. She had done her elder brother's calm and steady demeanor, but she still sighed helplessly: "Come on. You should think about going home carefully." How to deal with dad after that, he has the attitude that he won't sleep until you come home, if you get beaten then, I won't listen to you cry."

Cai Yan got down from him, and smiled: "Father is reluctant to hit me. Every time he has a fierce face, and the board falls on my palm, it doesn't hurt or itch. He just has a hard mouth."

Cai Xiang smiled and shook her head: "That's only for you, for us, he has never softened his heart. When I was young, I just couldn't recite a poem and was beaten for three days. You are just as playful as you, and went to touch fish in the fish tank while your husband wasn't there...the house was really...outsiders thought we were killing pigs when they heard it."

"Second brother was born with a high voice, why did he join the army later?" Cai Yan laughed, looked around, picked up the wine jar on the ground at a trot, handed it over, and said, "Well, since you If you don't want me to bring you hazelnut cakes, then this jar of wine should be enough to make up for it."

Cai Xiang touched the mud seal curiously, lifted it up, looked at the words on it, her eyes lit up, and said, "The 30-year-old wine from Jiuxianju?"

"The answer is correct." Cai Yan nodded him with her finger, with an expression of "you really know the goods", "I know that you, like the king, are good at wine, and this wine is just right for you."

Cai Xiang smiled and said, "I don't know you yet? In the end, I'm still using this jar of wine to bribe me. For the sake of the rare 30-year-old wine in Jiuxianju, I will talk to you tonight. You go , just remember to go back earlier."

"Okay." Cai Yan nodded, stretched out her hand to hold Qin Ke, and walked out of the alley without looking back, "Let's go, let's go. There is still a lot of time for the lantern festival. If we don't join in the excitement tonight, You'll have to wait another year."

"Goodbye, Mr. Cai." Qin Ke was dragged by him and trotted all the way, so he could only nod at Cai Xiang. In fact, that was fine. He always felt that Cai Xiang saw something, maybe it was because of the Bodhisattva sword in his hand. What's wrong?

That being the case, of course, the less I talked to him, the better.

Cai Yan said while running: "Brother! I will accept your private money with a smile!"

Cai Xiang's complexion changed, and the cultivation she had been exposed to in the famous family was broken in an instant.

"That's me..." He wanted to say that it was the private money he had saved for half a year, but soon Qin Ke and Cai Yan walked out of the alley and disappeared around the corner.

Cai Xiang stood alone in the alley, seemingly thinking about something, with deep eyes, holding the wine jar without saying a word.

If others saw it here, they would probably think that this young master is a philosopher who is compassionate and compassionate.

It's just that the grief and indignation in his heart is not because of any common people in the world, but because the private money he worked so hard to save is gone...

At this time, behind him was a man wearing silk clothes, who looked like an ordinary wealthy businessman, but if he was also practicing cultivation, he would definitely notice that this man had a long breath, even slightly better than Qin Ke , the man bowed his head and respectfully said: "Young Master."

Cai Xiang didn't turn her head, but just looked at the empty alley in front of her, and said calmly: "Follow up with my little sister, and protect her well. If the boy next to him does anything wrong, kill him."

"Yes."

The man was about to make a move, but Cai Xiang frowned, and suddenly said: "If he keeps his duty, don't mess around. Even, if conditions permit, you can also protect him by the way." he."

"Yes." The man replied softly.

Soon, the figure of that person disappeared outside the bustling alley, and Cai Xiang said to himself at this time: "Bodhisattva? It looks like a green dragon..."

But soon he laughed at himself again: "What are you thinking... how could the green sword sword appear in the hands of such a young man? That man...has been missing for many years, even if he was once hailed as the 'War God', he is probably dead Bar?"

He raised his head and looked at the gray sky. Even though the lights all over the city could make the city look like daytime, it was impossible to really light up the sky at this moment.

Cai Xiang didn't think about that, just shook her head, and sighed: "The heaven of the Tang Kingdom...isn't it like this? The prosperous age of the Li family? Heh, the demon concubine disrupted the government and harmed Zhongliang...the lord...he is obviously young Youwei is not a fatuous lord at all, but what is he thinking now?"

He clenched his fist, maybe... some things can only be understood if he really does them.

There is one thing, they have been preparing for too long, and the hypocritical prosperity of Ding'an City has lasted for too long, it is time to set things right.

"You have a good relationship with your brother."

"Of course. If he doesn't love me, who do I love?"

After getting rid of the stalking, Qin Ke is relaxed now. The two of them walked around more than ten small streets unknowingly, talked a lot, and tasted the tofu soup that people in Tang Dynasty love. I tried Cai Xiang's favorite hazelnut cake, it was really crunchy and delicious.

After walking for an hour, Cai Yan was a little tired, and the two of them slowed down.

Cai Yan had a candied haws in her left hand and an almond cake mixed with honey in her right. She bit off one of the candied haws with her white teeth, and chewed slowly in her mouth. There happened to be a small river in the Tang Dynasty beside it. Countless men and women There are lanterns being placed by the river. From a distance, it seems that there are countless stars on the water going to the distance, which is very beautiful.

Cai Yan smiled and said: "Every year at the Lantern Festival, the people of the Tang Dynasty will put lanterns here, and write their wishes on them, saying that the lanterns can cross thousands of mountains and rivers and float into the sea. People's wishes are like lanterns. , When the lanterns reach the sea, people’s wishes will come true.”

Qin Ke nodded and stared blankly at the crowd who set off the lanterns. Most of them were men and women in pairs. Seeing their intimacy, even if Qin Ke used his toes to think, he could probably guess that their wish was to be able to "" "Longevity stay together" and "raise the eyebrows together".

It's just that Qin Ke didn't think about these things, but listening to Cai Yan's words, thinking about "wish", something hidden in his heart for a long time seemed to hit the seemingly strong door again.

It came out, gripping his heart little by little with fear.

Even if he came to Tang country, in fact, he still has no confidence now, can he find the master by himself?

As the prime minister of a country, Zhuge Wanling has not been able to do something for so many years, how can he be capable?

Chapter 236 Little Duck

It is just a joke that lanterns can float into the sea. From the Tang Dynasty to the Sea of ​​Dome, I don’t know how many rivers, how many streams, how many big rivers, and how many swamps I have to go through on the way.

Maybe it will be swept by big waves, caught by branches, caught by stones, and run aground on the mud. Even the small movement of fish getting out of the water may cause a lantern to sink to the bottom of the water.

The artifacts are scattered in all directions, and their whereabouts are elusive. If the master is really in a so-called "unknowable place", will he have a chance to see him again in this life?

"Should we go and put one?" Cai Yan could see that he was a little unhappy. Although he didn't know what Qin Ke was thinking, he didn't intend to ask. They met by chance. Although they didn't say they hit it off, they got along very well. It's also very good, there are some things that he doesn't think need to get to the bottom of it.

He smiled and said: "It's more or less a sustenance. I secretly come out every year to set up lanterns." Speaking of this, he was a little annoyed, "But recently, my family has become more and more strict with me. Taking off my brother's clothes and pretending to be him, I guess I won't be able to get out."

Qin Ke also laughed, and after thinking for a while, he walked slowly towards the steps, from top to bottom, and walked slowly to the river. A merchant was setting up a stall to sell: "Flower lanterns! Beautiful lanterns!"

When Qin Ke walked to the booth, the businessman was obviously excited about what he had gained tonight, and his face was flushed. Seeing Qin Ke and Cai Yan coming over, he hurriedly planned to close the business again, and said loudly: "Two What do you want? I have all kinds of lanterns, lotus, lantern, boat..."
