【Discussion】
Feng Ao and Zheng Youting's first night at Lou's house passed "calmly".
Early the next morning, Duan Heng arrived at Feng Ao's residence one step faster than Lou Changan.
The children of the Lou family have morning classes, and the elders who have not gone out to retreat will attend. After the morning classes are over, they will have breakfast together in the cafeteria before leaving.
Lou Changan wanted to entertain distinguished guests, but he couldn't miss the morning class. After class, he went to Feng Ao's master and apprentice's courtyard to accompany him, and brought breakfast for the three of them.
"Oh, those who know me are always safe."
Duan Heng smiled and was about to go to pick up the food tray, but Lou Changan dodged and smiled back at him: "I don't know you, go away."
Duan Heng's copy was sent to his room by his disciples. Lou Chang'an is not good at predicting the future, and it is even more impossible for him to have a good understanding with him, so let him go as he pleases.
Seeing the two getting into a quarrel, Feng Ao smiled and said: "Duan Shoutu was just talking about Lou's morning class, seeing Lou Shoutu's face, it's really hard work."
Lou's family members rose up with crowing, and practiced in the morning class while reciting the family motto. The family motto has been handed down for thousands of years without deleting it but only adding it. It is now as thick as a dictionary, which shows that it is not an easy task.
"Just get used to it." Lou Chang'an said while setting the meal, his expression was as usual, he couldn't tell what he should have heard last night, he went back and tossed He Chongyuan in his dreams all night, and woke up in the morning in a state of extreme embarrassment.
"The Duan family also has such rules, but they are used to laxity, and later they practice martial arts by themselves without anyone controlling them. But every three days, they have to silently write the family motto of the Duan family and submit it to the teacher. If the handwriting is not sincere, they will be punished. Don't look at Duan Heng as a rascal, but his calligraphy is better than mine."
"You can't praise me well, why do good words become so unpleasant when they come into your mouth?"
Duan Heng yelled in dissatisfaction.
The three of Lou Chang'an sat down, and the disciple who delivered Duan Heng's meal came here to talk about his breakfast.
The Lou family is stricter than the Duan family. They have three meals a day, and if they miss it, they have to wait for the next meal. The elders and Patriarchs are no exceptions.
Seeing Zheng Youting moving his chopsticks, Feng Ao had a good appetite, so he ate his share with a smile.
Doing as the Romans do, there was very little movement of the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table of the Lou family, let alone the sound of talking. Although there were only four people, even Duan Heng, who talked a lot, ate honestly and quietly.
After eating, Lou Chang'an didn't call anyone else, he cleared the dining table by himself, took the plate to the door and handed it to the disciples who were waiting before turning back.
Seeing this, Feng Ao nodded secretly.
If people in the world are served by others, they are nondescript.
I don't know if it was because of the encounter last night, but now that he sees the juniors of the Lou family and the Duan family, he can't help but feel kinder.
Lou Chang'an and Duan Heng could be selected as the first apprentices. As the successors of the next Patriarch, they naturally have good eyesight for observing words and demeanor.Feng Ao's attitude towards himself was also very calm and undisguised, the two of them naturally felt it.
Duan Heng only felt a little puzzled, but Lou Chang'an wanted to make a mistake.
A man's mood is usually not bad after being satisfied, heck, luckily he was disturbed by these two last night.
The four of them were sitting and chatting, and Lou Changan talked about the funeral of Elder He Jia: "My master sent a letter back in the morning, but he has not found the body of Elder He. Today is the third day. The family can only go to the funeral first, and set up a tomb to hold the funeral."
"Can't Chen San find any clues?"
Duan Heng was surprised, the He family is not a kind and deceitful generation, naturally they also have their own methods, no matter how tough Chen San is, there must be a way to make him fully confess.
Lou Chang'an shook his head, and he looked at Feng Ao apologetically: "Chen San still insisted that Elder He's death had something to do with senior, and under pressure, he said that the elder was to blame. The He family took him to Huaxia District [-] and asked him to lead the way. , but I didn't expect... I don't know whether Chen San was cunning or something happened, he couldn't find the location of the ancient tomb, and there was no trace of Elder He's body."
Feng Ao and Zheng Youting looked at each other, and the former said: "Elder He did take us there, I wonder if Elder Chen San provided a route map, maybe I can help by comparing."
Lou Changan was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly ordered the disciples outside the door to deal with it.
Soon, the road map that Chen San led the way was presented, Feng Ao and Zheng Youting looked at it carefully, Zheng Youting nodded to Feng Ao, pointed to a place in the road map and said: "We entered the ancient city from here. The tomb, it seems, has been sealed off."
That place was one of the places that Chen San directed.
Lou Chang'an was slightly disappointed.
After all, he is He Chongyuan's most valued master, and he also intends to do something for him, but since Feng Ao and Zheng Youting have confirmed this, it seems that this method will not work.
Feng Ao knocked on the table, "We separated from the Great Elder as soon as we left the ancient tomb. As for why he returned to the ancient tomb, he didn't mention it. Perhaps, Third Elder Chen knows the reason."
Lou Changan opened his eyes slightly.
Although Feng Ao's words did not make it clear, it revealed another possibility.
Perhaps it was He Yuanzhen himself who changed the entrance of the tomb and covered it with a strange formation.
As for why he secretly returned to the ancient tomb without telling Feng Ao and Zheng Youting, did he discover something, and this was the key to the cooperation between him and Chen Sansuo, and also the reason for He Yuanzhen's death?
None of them maliciously speculated about Elder He He, but what Feng Ao said was also reasonable, it was the blind spot that they didn't see because of emotional constraints.
"Thank you senior for reminding me."
Lou Chang'an got up and saluted, then walked outside the door and gave some instructions to his disciple, and the disciple left in response, to pass this reminder on to Patriarch Lou.
Lou Changan sat down and smiled wryly: "The world is impermanent. I still remember that when Chong Yuan was very young, he dragged Elder He's legs to feed his master who was fainted in the formation. Unexpectedly, he would Misfortune happened."
"Life and death are fate, don't we martial arts practitioners even think about this?"
Duan Heng snorted. He Yuanzhen's death had no effect on the Duan family.
Feng Ao: "My condolences."
Zheng Youting also looked at Lou Chang'an when he heard the words, and said in a low voice, "My condolences."
Lou Changan laughed, "I'm sorry, it's just a moment of emotion."
What makes him really sad is that He Chongyuan has become an elder, and he can no longer live in the Lou family as before.The first disciple is busy with affairs, and the chances for the two to meet in the future may be less and less.
What's even more disturbing is that even if he never appeared in front of He Chongyuan again, that person might not think of him once in three to five years.
After sitting for a while, Lou Chang'an proposed to fight with Zheng Youting. The two parties made an agreement yesterday, and the time was just right, so they transferred to Lou's martial arts arena.
There were some people practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena, but shortly after the four of them arrived, the number of people in the martial arts arena more than doubled, obviously they all came here after hearing the news.
"Brothers also want to watch the battle and learn. We are the ones who made the decision. I hope senior and Mr. Xiao Feng don't mind."
Zheng Youting shook his head, "It's okay. If possible, I would also like to compete with them."
Lou Chang'an's eyes lit up, "Of course I am willing! Mr. Xiao Feng is the first disciple of the senior, and he is willing to give advice in person, which is what we wish for."
Zheng Youting smiled slightly, knowing that he was flattering Feng Ao, so he didn't say much.
In the first game, Lou Changan played.
As the first disciple of the head of the family, although his skills are not the best among his seniors, he is still outstanding.In order to keep Zheng Youting from hiding his moves, Lou Changan used all his strength when he made a move.
Zheng Youting stared at him, Lou Changan is not weak, but if he is not careful, he will lose.
He admired his opponent, but his opponent was secretly startled after a few moves.
At such a young age, Zheng Youting has such profound internal strength!
Comparing the Lou and Duan families, it can be said that the Duan family is more focused on external cultivation, while the Lou family is more focused on internal cultivation.
Facing Zheng Youting, he is five or six years older, but he is no match for Zheng Youting in terms of internal strength.Lou Changan recognized the reality, put away his thoughts of wanting to compete with Zheng Youting, and focused all his attention on Zheng Youting's moves, earnestly carrying out the tasks entrusted by the elder.
On the scene, the two martial arts are comparable, so it is very interesting.
Duan Heng was startled.He is well aware of Lou Changan's ability, seeing that he didn't have the slightest advantage, but instead moved cautiously, it can be seen that Senior Feng is a powerful apprentice.
He didn't show his face, and complained to Feng Ao on the side: "The Duan family can't be rough in the Lou family's territory, otherwise, I really can't wait to have a discussion with Mr. Xiao Feng now."
It was the first time Feng Ao heard that there were such rules, so he couldn't help asking him.
Duan Heng chuckled, "Seniors also know that the Lou family's children are poor and fastidious. In previous generations, an ancestor accidentally cut off a senior brother's hair in the Lou family. Such a small matter of sesame and mung beans turned into a big mess. Lou The family members said that a sword has no eyes, it can cut off the hair this time, but it can also hurt the face next time, and they refused to accept the apology from that ancestor. Later, the Lou family and the Duan family came to this gentleman's agreement. "
He was really speechless about Lou's family's stink.
With such a stinking virtue, can beauty be eaten as food?A bunch of idiots.
Feng Ao also laughed when he heard the words, Duan Heng was not as lively and talkative outside, and it was the intimacy revealed in this complaint that let people know that the Lou family and the Duan family were more important than what others saw. close.
In the arena, Zheng Youting and Lou Changan have already accepted their moves at the same time.
Lou Changan saluted and said, "I lost."
"Assignment."
Zheng Youting followed his example and returned a salute. This etiquette was completely different from those he had seen in the Bai family, and seemed more ancient and solemn.
Lou Changan admitted defeat without hesitation, his face did not look ugly, and he left the game in a good mood.
Immediately afterwards, a person jumped onto the martial arts stage to greet Zheng Youting.Because of Lou Changan's defeat, the challenged disciples did not dare to hide their fronts and went all out.This disciple's martial arts attainments are higher than Lou Changan's. Unexpectedly, Zheng Youting, who had been tied several times with Lou Changan's opponents just now, is also able to handle him with ease.
Seeing this, Duan Heng sneered at Lou Changan: "It seems that you can't inspire Mr. Xiao Feng's fighting spirit and potential at all."
I suppressed the surprise in my heart and didn't mention it.
Lou Changan was helpless, and said to Feng Ao with admiration: "Mr. Xiao Feng's moves are relatively simple, but his inner strength is very strong. I feel inferior. The disciple of the senior is really talented, and he has reached the height that many people dream of at a young age. , It really makes me envious and admired."
Feng Ao didn't say that his practice of martial arts is the fact that he has hit Lou Chang'an in the past few years. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "He is not hot enough."
Both Lou Duan could see that he was not being humble, which showed how high his requirements and expectations for Zheng Youting were.
Duan Heng couldn't help saying: "No wonder it is said that a strict teacher produces a high-quality apprentice. I used to always say that my master is hard on me, but now it seems that he is too lenient to me."
"Junior Brother Duan Heng doesn't have to worry about talent."
"... If you are comforting me, take back the original words, thank you for your kindness."
The two talked and fought again.
There were four people on stage one after another, and Zheng Youting also lost once, but his strength should not be underestimated.
Lou Chang'an, however, became more and more silent the more he watched, and concentrated on watching Zheng Youting's moves. Later, he didn't care about winning or losing at all, and only stared at Zheng Youting.
Feng Ao hooked his lips.
He and Zheng Youting no longer intend to hide their tricks, I don't know...Whether the Lou family feels familiar when they see it.
If so, what are their plans?
He is looking forward to it.
