Chapter 447: The scholars ruler and the warriors sword

The night wind blew by, and the stars in the sky were dim. In the already quiet county courtyard, with a few clicks, the door was closed, and only a few rays of light seeped out from the gaps. The sight of Zhou Tong just now

Although the force of the kick was strong, the direction was accurate. Lin Chong's back hit exactly between the two door panels, only breaking the door latch. Fulu found a wooden stick to replace it and bolted the door.

When he turned around, the old man who had just lost his temper was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding a tea cup and waiting for the tea to boil on the stove next to him. The old man's face was reflected in the flickering light of the fire.

Fulu went over to stir up the fire: "Actually... Junior Brother Lin is indeed living a very hard life..."

The old man who was angry before shook his head now, but it did not mean denial, but seemed a little uninterested. He held the small teacup, closed his eyes and thought for a while. The courtyard was quiet for a long time, and then Zhou Tong

Open your mouth.

"Among the few disciples I had that year, Lin Chong was the most talented, the best in air dancing, and the one who won the most in competitions between fellow apprentices." The old man raised his head slightly, spoke slowly, and also

Recalling, "He has a good relationship with everyone, and he also has contacts with you. But among those disciples, I don't like him. Lin Chong doesn't know about this, but you asked me... Do you remember?"

"

Fulu thought for a while and nodded: "Remember, Master, you just admitted the matter at that time, but did not give a reason. I always thought that Junior Brother Lin had some misdeeds in private and let Master know about it, so I alienated him for a while.

, I also often observed in secret, and later I discovered that Junior Brother Lin’s character is not bad, I just thought it was Master that you had misunderstood something.”

"You are the senior brother of all of them. You have been with me the longest, so you can naturally tell my likes and dislikes, but you guessed wrong about this matter. It was just that I couldn't tell you at the time. Have you seen it now?

"Is it Junior Brother Lin's temperament...too cowardly?"

"To be able to kill so many people while being weeded along the way cannot be called cowardly." Zhou Tong shook his head and opened his eyes, "There is a knife missing in his heart."

Hearing this, Fulu hesitated for a moment: "I remember that at that time, you kept saying that martial arts practitioners should hide their swords..."

"Yes, those who practice martial arts have to hide their swords." Zhou Tong sighed. The tea was already boiling. He took off the kettle and started pouring tea. The smell of boiling tea filled the courtyard late at night. "When I taught martial arts practitioners,

The boxing gym and the disciples are all full of fierce and fierce people. If they use force to fight and kill at every turn, what have I taught them? So although Shi Wengong is very skilled in martial arts, I really don't like him.

Well, Shi Wengong, his name contains "Shi", "Wen" and "Gong". I thought he was a person with a humble temperament at first. Although Lin Chong's name contains the character "Chong", it actually means the opposite."

Putting down the teapot: "Back then, it was also because I didn't want martial arts practitioners to mess around. I told my disciples to hide their knives. I even told them to give in when they couldn't bear it anymore, because they always felt that they had reached the end of their patience when they could still bear it.

.But Lin Chong grew up in a prosperous place since he was a child. Although he has a high level of understanding, he has learned the power of rules early. Therefore, he is very talented in martial arts. I only say that he has a good attitude and a strong temper.

, I said to hide the sword, but if there is no sword in the heart, what is a martial arts person? Lin Chong is too disciplined, so I don't like it, but at the time, it was not easy for me to say this. "

The old man's words stopped in the wind. Fulu thought for a while and sighed: "Actually, Junior Brother Lin was also very loyal and heroic at that time. That's why everyone liked him..."

Zhou Tong shook his head: "Loyalty and heroism are not swords, but a person's temperament. Master Tan once told me that in a good world, literati have a ruler in their hearts, which they use to measure people's hearts and determine rules.

In the hearts of warriors, they must have a sword. This sword is too sharp, but it is useless without it. When those rules become old and no longer applicable, and the world goes astray, warriors must use their swords to cut them off, so that new rules can be created.

come out."

He lowered his head and looked at the tea in the cup: "The thing is like this, because the mind of a person who practices martial arts is the most sensitive. When an ordinary man is angry, his blood will splash ten steps. The knife in the heart is the blood of conscience, and what is right will be right and what is wrong will be wrong.

The literati have set the rules, but they only tinker with them and give them a lot of excuses for doing the wrong thing. But conscience is the most direct and bloody. If you make a mistake, there must be something wrong, so you should break it and come up with better rules! So being heroic is not a sword.

, the sword is about right and wrong, about great wisdom and courage, and about the rules of killing!"

"People in the world are forced to go up to the mountains to become bandits? Because everyone does this, so it is not a sword! Going with the flow is not a sword, but doing things that others cannot do or dare not do is a sword! Keep morality in mind, but say it every day

It's not the sword that makes him helpless. Although there are thousands of people, the sword is where I go! Lin Chong has no sword in his heart. He was forced like this, but he still only dared to live within the rules, because he knew that he had no choice but to go to the mountain to cheat.

Those are the rules for bandits. When you go to the mountains to be a bandit, you have to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Those are the rules. If there are rules, he will just follow the rules. Hey, he killed people and started a rebellion. Even the emperor and I didn't want him, but he didn't have the guts to break the slightest rule in his heart.

.No matter how good his martial arts is, what's the use... he's just a useless person!"

The old man drank the tea and put down the cup. There was obvious anger in his half-white beard and hair. Fulu nodded silently, but he also sighed in his heart. Although the old man said he disliked Lin Chong the most, in fact, in

After learning about Lin Chong, what he had done for Junior Brother Lin was far beyond that of some other brothers. This included asking Ning Liheng to let this disciple live. Fulu could also see that, the old man actually did the same.

I don't like Ning Liheng very much. With the old man's rigorous character of love and hate, this opening is a sign of favor.

Just like when he first learned about Shi Wengong's death, the old man just snorted lightly and ignored him. In retrospect, although Junior Brother Lin was weak-minded, he grew up smoothly as a young man and married into a beautiful woman. In the Forbidden Army,

Being a coach in school, if nothing happened later, would have been a happy life.

At this time, the old man was not only angry but also angry at the evil of the world.

The night was dark, and the old man sat in the courtyard for a while, when suddenly a bird flew over. Fulu stretched out his hand to catch the bird, nodded to Zhou Tong and said something, then put out the lights and fire, and the master and servant left the courtyard.

All the way to the county seat, in the woods. Soon after, four more figures came over. The first one was a woman who had been shot, and the three people following him were the first one who was dressed as Yu Hou, followed by two followers.

When the four people came over, Zhou Tong and Fulu were standing by a small pond in the forest. A middle-aged woman came over and called out: "Master." Zhou Tong nodded, and Yu Hou, who was behind with his sword, hurriedly came over to pay his respects.

"Lu Qian met Grandmaster Zhou, and he still summoned me to wait at such a late hour..."

"No more gossiping." Zhou Tong's figure turned his back to this side and waved his hand, "What Captain Gao told me has been accomplished."

"Ah, Ning and Lu have really..."

"I have another thing that I want to ask Marquis Lu Yu to tell Mr. Taiwei. Come over here and I will tell you."

"yes."

Zhou Tong is the best person in the world, with an arrogant temperament. From the moment they met, his attitude towards people like him was not good. Lu Qian was interrupted several times by him, but he didn't think it was strange. He held his hand and passed away.

Zhou Tong stood sideways and stopped. Zhou Tong put his hands behind his back and looked at the silence in the night for a moment, and finally said: "In Bianliang City, the son of Gao Qiu calls himself Huahua Taisui. You are the one who takes care of the women he likes."

Take him captive?"

Lu Qian was slightly startled.

"Lin Chong and you were good friends, but Huahua Taisui fell in love with his wife, and you designed it for her, right?"

Lu Qian saw Zhou Tong turn around and look at him with tiger-like eyes. He cupped his hands and subconsciously wanted to take a step back: "I'll..."

"Shameless person!"

Zhou Tong waved his palm to take the picture. At that moment, Lu Qian wanted to move his feet and raise his arms to block, but nothing came true. In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Tong raised his palm to Lu Qian's

There was a light pat on the top of his head, and Lu Qian's body trembled.

"...How can I keep you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qian's body knelt down and then fell down with a bang. Two of Lu Qian's followers not far away saw their teeth chattering: "You, you...you killed..."

"Wenying, Fulu, kill them and deal with them." Zhou Tong straightened his sleeves, turned around and left with his hands behind his back, Fulu did not move, a middle-aged woman named Wenying waved her hand, and two darts flew out

After inserting it into the foreheads of the two of them, Zhou Tong paused, turned around, and saw that the figure had fallen down: "Oh, try not to let anyone know about Lu Qian's death, and don't publicize it."

Fulu cupped his hands and said, "Yes." After explaining this, Zhou Tong left. The woman named Wenying tilted her head: "Of course, people can't know about killing people in Taiwei's mansion, so why should the master be special?

Order." Her name is Zuo Wenying, and she and Fulu were both Zhou Tong's servants, and later they got married. Fulu said: "Junior brother Lin came here just now and asked the master to beat him away. The master has already seen him.

Now that Marquis Lu Yu is here, we naturally cannot allow him to go back and harm other people. I just want to let Junior Brother Lin know that the great revenge has not been avenged, and maybe he can have some motivation."

Zuo Wenying shook her head: "You are right about Junior Brother Lin, but I despise him. My family is ruined, and I only know how to go up the mountain to become a bandit! How can I call him a man with such a temper!"

Fu Lu sighed: "Master said the same thing." He packed the body in a sack in the woods, mixed it with stones and sank it to the bottom of the lake. While doing it, he told his wife the process of Lin Chong's visit to Zhou Tong.

Can't help but feel a little sad.

"Well, Junior Brother Lin has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has practiced martial arts well. In fact, he is a person with few desires. He just rebelled and suffered a sudden misfortune. Although Master, what he said is right, seeing Junior Brother Lin's temperament, he also wants to sharpen his temper.

, but most people may not be able to bear this kind of hardship. He must be disheartened when he leaves, and it is hard to say whether he can survive. If the master's subsequent words can be told to him clearly, he may still be able to survive.

I can live a little longer..."

"He has been forced to this extent and still can't realize it. If he just says some words, how can it help him? Even if he has some understanding, it is not his own! I see, your temperament is a bit like that of a mother-in-law." Zuo.

Wenying pursed her lips and shook her head, "If you look at it from me, you've got it wrong. The most important thing is, you haven't thought about it at all."

"Huh?" Fulu frowned and looked at his wife.

"Because he is a disciple of Zhou Tong!" Zuo Wenying kicked a sack into the lake, raised his chin, and looked sternly, decisively, "He is the disciple of the best person in the world! How can he feel sorry for himself all day long and want others to do so?

Go and coax and persuade! He is his master's disciple and has learned his master's martial arts! How can he shrink back and be weak when encountering these things? What's the pity if he dies! Who hasn't encountered difficulties, haven't you and me?

My family members were also dead back then! He was a disciple of Zhou Tong, so he should have known that he could do whatever he wanted to do, even hide, but he shouldn’t have become a bandit! He was a disciple of Zhou Tong, and he knew right and wrong.

Why can't you ask for more? You spend all your time thinking about right and wrong, never forgetting morality, and you spend all your time thinking about having to do evil things as a last resort! You just say what you say and think in your heart, so if you want to die, then die! Humph!

"

Fulu looked at his wife who was talking arrogantly, gradually laughed, and nodded: "Sure enough... you know Master's personality best. I really thought that I was wrong. No wonder everyone said that you are a woman, and my temper is

But he is a little soft. As Master said, it is not good to have no sword in your heart..."

He was doing this review to his wife and listening to him praising himself, even though they had been married for many years, the woman's face turned slightly red. Fortunately, she couldn't see clearly in the dark.

"You have a knife in your heart. It's okay as long as I know about it." After a moment, he added, "Master also knows about it."

The night passed quietly, and in the morning of the next day, more people came over one after another. Ning Yi dealt with the plan of how to sweep Zhuxi and Anping areas, and occasionally went to see Hongti. At noon that day, Master Zhou Tong and his servant

Then he left Yiyuan County, but before leaving, he seemed to have said something to Hongti, which made Hongti feel a little depressed...
