Demons are easy to get rid of, but it is difficult for juniors and teachers to guard against

Chapter 1

"Zixi, I don't know what you like recently. Senior brother can only fold some grass crickets for you like in previous years." Lin Zhen put the wooden box in front of the tombstone, knelt on one knee, with a gentle tone.

Qin Yun smiled behind him: "Brother, I think Junior Brother Zixi must think you are naive, you are already in your twenties!"

Lin Zhen smiled: "Childhood is childish, so what about crowning, time will not change anything."

The two were silent with each other for a while, cleared the weeds from Lin Zixi's grave, and wiped the tombstone.

This is in a secluded suburb, where the wild grass is desolate and the world is vast. At this moment, there are only two people with a monument, a bouquet of daisies, a box of crickets, and a plate of snacks.

A gust of wind blew away the fragrance of the chrysanthemums, making Lin Zhen a little embarrassed.

Lin Zhen sighed: "Zixi, Xiao Ling is coming back..."

Qin Yun said: "Brother, why mention him? Zixi must hate Xiao Ling so much that his teeth itch. If it wasn't for Xiao Ling, how could Zixi commit suicide!"

Lin Zhen ignored Qin Yun, and stroked the word "Lin Zixi" on the tombstone, "We are from the same family, and we are a family. Xiao Ling also had no intentions that day. Zixi, can you forgive him for the sake of senior brother?" ?”

Qin Yun asked urgently: "Brother, are you confused?"

Lin Zhen shook his head, patted his body and stood up, and said to Qin Yun, "Let's go, hurry back and eat Master's lunch."

The wind lifted the corner of Lin Zhen's plain robe and blew off a few petals of the daisy, as if responding to Lin Zhen's sigh.

Linjiazhuang is located on the hill west of Qicheng. From the foot of the mountain to Linjiazhuang, you have to walk a hundred steps, pass fifty sycamore trees, and twenty clusters of gardenias before you can see the plaque.

It was almost noon when Lin Zhen and Qin Yun returned from the suburbs of the city, and saw a gorgeous carriage parked at the foot of the mountain. The sapphire blue satin was embroidered with golden thread rivers and mountains, and round pearls were dangling from the yellow tassels.There were twenty attendants standing in front of and behind the carriage, all dressed in uniform brocade clothes, with solemn expressions.

"Brother, could it be..." Qin Yun whispered in Lin Zhen's ear, his face full of surprise.

Lin Zhen's eyes were also surprised, but he just replied in a low voice: "Whether it is or not, we will just go back."

While speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted respectfully by the attendants, and a tall and tall man got out of the carriage, wearing a sea-blue robe with Aoxue Hanmei embroidered on it, looking closer, he was extremely handsome , a pair of peach blossom eyes hidden romantic, golden crown inlaid with jade, hanging sash beads, rich but not vulgar, handsome but not enchanting.

When the man saw Lin Zhen, he lost his mind for a moment, and then the corners of his tightly pursed mouth slightly raised. With those pair of eyes, he smiled affectionately: "Brother, don't come here without any problems."

Lin Zhen replied politely: "Long time no see, Junior Brother Xiao."

This person is undoubtedly Xiao Ling.

Qin Yun laughed sarcasticly: "It's really Senior Brother Xiao who shines on the sect, this time it's such a grand occasion."

It was only then that Xiao Ling noticed Qin Yun standing beside Lin Zhen, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It turns out that Junior Brother Qin is also here."

Both Lin Zhen and Qin Yun were startled. Four years ago, Xiao Ling would never have answered Qin Yun's provocation with a smile.Back then, Xiao Ling was not arrogant, but he was always out of gregariousness, he only liked to follow Lin Zhen, and he was indifferent to others.

After being away from home for the past few years, he has grown a lot, at least in terms of interpersonal communication, Xiao Ling has become more tactful.

Smooth and unfamiliar.

"Seeing that you are promising, Grand Master and Master must be very happy." Lin Zhen said, with indescribably distant and polite eyes.

Xiao Ling also smiled politely: "This is what Ling should do."

Lin Zhen frowned. The man in front of him was no longer the boy who said to him expectantly, "Brother, let's go out together" when he left the teacher's gate four years ago. The dignitary standing here at this moment is a Xiao Ling, the Marquis of the country who moved the world.Four years had given him power, status and fame, as well as a gentle smile and unpredictable eyes.

The three went up the stairs together, but they were relatively silent.In the end, Qin Yun couldn't take it anymore, and started chatting with Lin Zhen: "Senior brother, what did Wang Yuanwai tell you?"

Lin Zhen said lightly: "What can I say, it's almost the same as what the old man of the Song family said."

"Miss Song is bright and charming, but she is not as gentle and virtuous as Miss Wang from the scholarly family. I think Miss Wang is more suitable for you."

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Are you kidding me? It's not even a single thing."

Xiao Ling could hear clearly, and asked: "What is Senior Brother saying to Junior Brother Qin?"

Qin Yun lost his face when he saw Xiao Ling, and said impatiently: "Senior brother Xiao is very powerful, why don't you even know this? Senior brother has also reached the age of marriage, and the matchmaker who came to the village to propose marriage came One after another, the matchmaker left, and the gentlemen went to battle in person, hehehehehe, brother, you are very lucky..." At the end of the speech, he was full of pride.

Lin Zhen is handsome, handsome, kind and funny, and as the chief disciple of the Lin family village, he is skilled in martial arts, so he is very likable.

A stern look flashed across Xiao Ling's eyes, he looked at Lin Zhen steadfastly, but his words were still smiling: "Brother, are you getting married?"

Lin Zhen met his gaze, smiled frankly and said, "Actually, I don't care at all, it's just that the grand master is urging her so hard, but it's not a bad idea to marry a sister-in-law to take care of those junior brothers."

The second half of the sentence was meant to be a joke, but it made Xiao Ling feel extremely uncomfortable.

Xiao Ling said: "Brother, forgive me, if a bird builds a nest in a tree, it will only fly around with the nest as the center, and will not fly to the grassland, the sea, Or somewhere farther afield."

Lin Zhen was startled, and immediately understood what Xiao Ling meant, and his expression changed, "What do you mean?"

Although Xiao Ling uses the bird as a metaphor, but his words are really blatant, isn't it a blatant mockery of Lin Zhen who wants to start a family for doing nothing, and is doomed to be mediocre in the future?

The other party smiled lightly, as if what he said was not a sharp dagger, but a soft feather.He said: "Senior brother knows what the mausoleum means."

After climbing to the last step, the gate of Linjiazhuang appeared in front of you.

The door boy greeted him with a smile, "Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Qin, you are back! Eh, this is..."

With a dark face, Lin Zhen said in a deep voice, "He is Xiao Ling. He had already left when you came, so you don't recognize him."

Now even the doorman noticed Lin Zhen's displeasure, and secretly glanced at Xiao Ling again, thinking that he had never seen Elder Brother Lin show his face before, and his temper was very good, how could he be angry today?I heard from my brothers and sisters in the kitchen that Master Lin’s favorite disciple, Lin Zhen, and his most outstanding disciple, Xiao Ling, have always been at odds with each other.He didn't believe it at the time, but seeing it today, it seems to be true.

Lin Zhen continued, "Qin Yun and I will go back and change our clothes first. You can take Junior Brother Xiao to Master's room first."

Xiao Ling smiled and said: "Brother, you are really thoughtful, even considering that I can't remember the way."

Lin Zhen also smiled back, "How can you expect to be as indifferent as you, and still remember the way you were taught in the past?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhen strode away, Qin Yun called his senior brother a few times behind him, and then ran over.

The doorman sighed secretly that he had witnessed a verbal provocation between his seniors, and also secretly lamented that he had been involved in such a troublesome matter.He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ling, only to see that Xiao Ling's eyes had been fixed on Lin Zhen's back, the frivolous smile just disappeared, his expression was gloomy, and he seemed a little... lonely?

But that was only for a moment, and then Xiao Ling smiled faintly, looked at the door boy and said, "Please ask the younger brother to lead the way."

The door boy was stunned, then he turned his head and led Xiao Ling to the inner courtyard respectfully.

But soon he realized that this is really a troublesome thing!

I don't know whether Xiao Ling was on purpose or not, but when he was talking to him, he was always able to take him to another road unnoticed, but he made a detour, but he still didn't reach Master Lin's study.

Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Could it be that my junior brother also can't remember the way like Xiao?"

The doorman scratched his head, for no reason he became the one who went the wrong way.He mumbled: "I... Brother Xiao, don't talk to me anymore, it will distract me."

Xiao Ling: "Junior Brother, I still don't know your name after talking for so long."

The door boy was brought into the topic again by Xiao Ling, and he replied honestly: "My name is Shi Xiao, Master and others call me Little Shitou."

"Oh, little stone... How old are you this year?"

"Last winter solstice turned 13 years old."

"Winter solstice?" Xiao Ling's eyes lit up, "You and senior brother are born on the same day?"

Xiao Shitou couldn't understand which senior brother he was referring to, but after thinking about it, the one in the whole village who had the same birthday as him, that is... So he nodded, "Thanks to Senior Brother Tuolin, every birthday can be Very lively."

Xiao Ling's tone seemed to be a little more tender, "Senior brother, how have you been doing in the past four years?"

Xiao Shitou didn't know why Xiao Ling cared about Lin Zhen, so he could only answer perfunctorily: "It's good, master said, it's time for senior brother to start a family."

Xiao Ling didn't speak, and asked after a while: "Senior Brother and Qin Junior Brother have a good relationship?"

"Yeah, even the master asked, is it true that senior brother Qin will cling to him even on the wedding night in the senior brother's bridal chamber?" Xiao Shizi was radiant when he mentioned this, and obviously found it very interesting, "Senior brother Qin is really Yes, I won the crown within two years, and I still want to sleep in the same room with the big brother."

At this time, if Xiao Shizi looked back, he would see Xiao Ling's cold face, full of murderous intent.

Xiao Shizi continued: "The two are always inseparable. Every year today, they will go out before dawn. It seems that they are going to sweep someone... Ah, no, I can't say." Linjiazhuang is forbidden to discuss.

Xiao Ling asked: "Why can't we say, what are they doing going out so early?"

Xiao Shizi thought that Senior Brother Xiao was not an outsider, so he confessed honestly: "They went out of the city to visit the grave of a deceased Senior Brother, and that Senior Brother seemed to be called... Zixi."

Xiao Ling was taken aback for a moment, then laughed at himself twice, and didn't speak any more.

Xiao Shizi didn't understand where he said the wrong thing, so he had to bow his head and lead the way.

Fortunately, without any interruption from Xiao Ling's words, he finally brought him to the door of Lin Wu's study.
