Lao Tzu said

The breeze blows, the thin clouds disperse, the moonlight elongates, and the silvery white light shines under the bridge. There is a stream under the bridge, and there are small boats passing by on the stream.

At the head of the bridge, the patrolling robbers saw a small black figure walking towards the end of the bridge in the distance.

The robber was so frightened that he quickly clenched the hilt of his sword at his waist.

The figure got closer, and the robber got into the grass behind him in fright, and quickly took out a fire pocket and a pack of drugs from his sleeve.

When the robber took out the drug, there was a movement from the leaves above the robber.

Rustle, rustle, many young leaves fell into the soil, and the sound of leaves fluttering reached the ears of the robbers.

The robber looked up, only to see that the green leaf above his head was completely black, and before he could take a closer look, many birds flew out of the darkness.

The robber didn't think much, and looked at the bridge head again.

When the figure reached the bridge, the robber blew on a fire bag, ignited the bag of drugs, and threw it over.

Clouds of smoke flew from the grass, Liu Anming saw the flying smoke, and ran away like a panicked rabbit.

The robber looked at the man running away and got out of the grass.

However, not long after the robber got out of the bushes, a man jumped out of the tree out of thin air, and the man raised his fist and swung it down.

With a punch down, the robber fell to the ground like this.

The robber was just knocked out by the man ambush in the tree.

When the robber woke up, he was horrified to find that he had been stripped naked!He was even hung from a tree!

Coo ~ coo coo ~ The white dove on the branch received the order, passed through the flowers, and flew into the night sky.

Liu Anming on the bridge walked to the bridge, whistled, and called the white pigeons flying in the sky.

The white dove landed on the ground, picked up the dead branches that fell into the mud, and flew into the air again.

Liu Anming whistled again.

The white dove flew in the air, flew to Liu Anming's head, stretched out its claws and stepped on Liu Anming's head.

Liu An brightly patted the white dove on his head.

The white pigeon flew up and retracted its wings, and stomped on Liu Anming's head hard.

Liu Anming patted again.

The white dove stepped on it again.

After a lot of tossing, the white pigeon spit out the dead branch in its mouth and vomited it into the stream under the bridge.

The dead branches fell into the stream, the boats under the bridge were lit, and hundreds of boats rowed across the dark lake.

At this moment, on the altar, surrounded by robbers, Bai Keqing and Mo Guoke...

The breeze rolled up the young leaves and flew into the air, and the fire blew up the dust and fell into the wind, thinking back to a few hours ago.

Mo Guoke broke free from the hemp rope, picked the lock and went out, and met several robbers on patrol.

Mo Guoji immediately turned around, went back to the house where he was locked, packed everything, and walked out again.

Mo Guo thought for a while, climbed up to the roof, and walked around those robbers while walking and crawling.

But the robbers were not limited to the few under the house, Mo Guoji thought about it again, climbed down from the house, and came to the house to collect useful things.

Mo Guoke came to an aunt's room, and the aunt was already fast asleep.

Because of the darkness of the night, Mo Guoke only saw the hairpin.Mo Guoke knew the importance of hairpins to women, so in order not to startle the snake, Mo Guoke didn't take it.

It wasn't unreasonable for Mo Guoke to do this. You know, those hairpins are either family treasures or tokens of love, so... Mo Guoke decisively gave up.

Later, Mo Guoke came to the servant's room, and Mo Guoke found embroidery scissors, fire pockets, and a few packets of medicine.

Looking at these few things, Mo Guo engraved a thought in his mind.Mo Guoji thought about it for a while, and resolutely gave up the idea of ​​burning the house down.

You know, there are a lot of robbers patrolling at night, and it won't take long for a little smoke to attract robbers.

Those robbers are not vegetarians, if they are caught...ah no, they will definitely be caught!

Let's put it this way, counting with fingers, he didn't even have enough time to escape while the robbers came to put out the fire.

This is not a joke.

There are robbers on patrol in every aisle. As soon as the smoke drifts, the robbers come over and stamp out the fire with their feet. When they see him as an arsonist, he will have good fruit to eat.

The risks are great.It's impossible to burn a big fire to cause trouble, at best smoke to attract the enemy.

If you want to die and use smoke to attract the enemy, it will only be a short-term matter, and it won't take long for the smoke to be trampled out by the enemy soon.

What's more, the robber is not stupid... Even if the robber is stupid, Mo Guoke doesn't know where Bai Keqing is, and if he doesn't know where Bai Keqing is, it is useless for Mo Guoke to attract the robber.

But even if Mo Guoke knew where Bai Keqing was, Mo Guoke couldn't find Bai Keqing, because Mo Guoke didn't know the terrain.

Not knowing the terrain is a very bad thing for a person caught.

How bad is the bad thing?For example, wandering around in a maze.

If he is wandering around like this, if he is lucky, he will escape.If you are unlucky... you will die unexpectedly.

In addition, there are a lot of robbers.

There is no way to go on like this, he will be discovered sooner or later.

Mo Guoke thought over and over again, and then went back to the servant's room, looking at the little maids sleeping in their clothes...

After a lot of tossing, Mo Guoke put on women's clothes embarrassingly, stole a few packs of drugs, and learned about Bai Keqing's whereabouts from others...

Finally, while being chased and beaten by a group of robbers, Mo Guoke found Bai Keqing who was sitting outside the house watching the stars.

Bai Keqing was not very surprised by his arrival, as if...as if he didn't know him...

In the end, the two were chased to the sacrificial altar.

It turned out that the two of them didn't know until they reached the sacrificial altar that those robbers had been waiting for the two of them to come on the altar.

Fortunately, Mo Guo engraved the white dove to send out a distress signal.

Now, Liu Anming brought someone to call up, and they just waited.

……

Is it all that simple?No, it is very simple for Mo Guoke, but it is not so simple for Bai Keqing.

The Bai family of Dongling has produced prodigies from generation to generation, and there are many taboos.

Can……

"Why did they leave me?"

"Son, it's just because it's a dead flower."

Back then, Mother Bai had indeed told him so.

He doesn't understand, but the word "understand" contains too many things, he must understand.

In the end, he still didn't understand.

"The fish under the rain, the scales and bones have been penetrated, and the spirit bones have been lost."

"No, it should be the blood in the snow, the red plums were ruined, and the white plums were broken."

"Master, I don't understand, why should I understand this?"

"Son, it's just because it's a dead flower."

That year, the master indeed told him so.He doesn't understand, but he must pretend to understand.

But he still didn't understand until...

"What do you think of the flower I folded?"

"The fragrance of the remaining flowers is not exhausted, and the branches are left with residual flowers... um... the flowers are very good."

……

He wants to be a branch...he wants to be a branch that laughs in the rain, he wants to be a branch that is full of frogs and cicadas, he wants to be a branch that is warm and sunny, he wants to be a branch that looks up at the sky...

Why do you use flowers as metaphors?I really don't understand...

Later, those later...

"It's just a little boy, I'm afraid I'm not even as knowledgeable, so what qualifications do you have to sit in the position of Mr.?"

"Hey, you don't know that. He is from the Donglingbai family. Do you know that the Donglingbai family has produced child prodigies? The Donglingbai family is willing to teach, and those people are lucky!"

"Tch~ Where do you say this? The child prodigy was not taught by his master. Hmph! In my opinion, that child is just a vulgar talent who talks nonsense! , if you praise others, he is also a child prodigy!"

"Huh~ are you jealous? Your words are really sour! Let me tell you, the disciples taught by Dong Lingbai's family are either promoted and rich, or are secluded outsiders. Donglingbai's family not only Teach the way, and teach people's hearts!"

"People's hearts? Huh! Just say that the messy thing is the master? You are too easy to deceive, right? This matter is definitely adulterated! Those down-and-out people, you just didn't meet by chance! You can't tell, Those down-and-out people are what you call the worldly masters!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, most of those officials who serve the court come from Dong Lingbai's family, and they are the disciples of the little hairy boy you mentioned!"

"Hmph! Believe me! I just can't understand that hairy kid occupying the position of master! What qualifications does he have!"

"Here~ over there, did you see it? The Mo Mansion in front of your house, Master Mo, Master Mo, Mo Hongtian, Minister of Dali Temple, he is a disciple taught by Bai Shangshu. It is said that Bai Shangshu took him in when he was a child. Master Mo, who is several years older than himself, has been rumored that Master Mo was just a mediocre butcher at that time!"

"Believe it or not, it's just a rumor. You seem to have seen that Master Mo once called Bai Shangshu 'Master'..."

"Well, although I haven't seen it, others have. Besides, in the court hall, everyone is addressed as 'adult'. If it weren't for the open and secret fights in the court hall, Master Mo would have invited Bai Shangshu to drink two jugs of small wine..."

……

Bang Dang~ The jug shattered.

A fire lit the sacrificial altar.

……

Bai Ke broke off the flower branch.

Mo Guoke was drinking tea and wine.

The war between robbers and officials.

……

No one approached the sacrificial altar, because the sacrificial altar was surrounded by fire.

When the wind blows, the sparks floating in the air ignite the flowers and plants on the side.

The whole village was engulfed in flames.

……

Liu Anming, Du Qianfei and Jiang Shashui flirted with the bride who just ran out of the room.

The bride called Liu Lang across the sea of ​​fire.

Liu Duhai called Gu Yiliu across the sea of ​​fire.

……

The white pigeon flew to the head of the big yellow dog and cooed.

The big yellow dog gnawed on the bone and jumped onto a big stone.

……

Thought it was over?

No, it's not fun to say it.

Say it and you go away.

You don't understand?Well, it’s just that you don’t understand.

Re-read it a few times, maybe you will understand.

So... the middle matter is still a mystery...

Maybe you will jump through the plot to watch, but, unfortunately, there is no result.

Although there is no result, there are flowers in the middle~

(ω) hiahiahia will gradually move towards the result in a tactful way.

You must have thought that the branch line was broken, but...you guessed it right.

……

Liu Duhai and Mo Guoke sworn brothers.
