He saw a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing a loose robe, descending from a tree outside the wall.

"Brother Du, we haven't seen each other in so many years. Why don't we just meet by chance? How can we just leave like that?"

Fang Bufang replied happily: "Yes, Master. The day after tomorrow coincides with the mid-autumn of August. Master is an old man who comes back every mid-autumn of August. He will teach me a move and a half at the same time."

In an instant, the person who came was Zhao Dannian of the Taiji Sword Sect. Only to see a long beard fluttering in the wind. His eyes were like the sun in spring, exuding a heroic aura.

Du Le hurriedly cupped his hands. Brother Zhao, it's been a long time since we last met, so you have become even more spirited. "

The next few people entered the inner hall. Du Le introduced the book sword, small loach, and Wen Zhu to Zhao Daxian.

Zhao Danian circled around the sword and said, "Hahaha, indeed, youth is really something."

He once again glanced at Wen Zhu. "Beautiful men and beautiful women, it can be said to be a pair."

Fang Bufang called out: "Master, this little loach brother is also very good. Last time we competed, I almost lost to him."

Zhao Danian turned around to look at the little Loach and saw its arrogant eyes and nose. He smiled at the Loach and noticed that its dimples were obvious. He was actually very happy. "He patted the little loach on the shoulder." Young people must have courage. "

Unexpectedly, this slap seemed to be unintentional, and the little Loach instantly felt a strong wave of attack. He was too embarrassed to resist in front of everyone. He grinned. Pretending to tickle his back, he reached out to scratch it. Then he bent his shoulder and got rid of Zhao Danian's strength.

When the crowd saw that he was comical and cute, they all burst out laughing. "Zhao Danian secretly admired his wit." "Fang, congratulations on meeting a good brother of yours."

"Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days. Brother Du and the others can stay for a few more days. It won't be too late to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival has finished admiring the moon."

Du Le looked at the book sword, "Jian'er, I haven't seen Sect Leader Zhao for many years. Sect Leader Zhao is an extremely generous and loyal person, and the little loach and this Brother Fang have a lot of opportunities. Why don't we rest for a few days, and leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Yes." Jian looked at Wen Zhu and silently nodded. Very well, senior. "We will bother Brother Fang for two days. You can have a happy meeting with Sect Leader Zhao, but this way, Brother Fang will be able to spend a lot of money."

Fang Fangfang clapped happily: "Brother Shi, it's too late to be happy if you could come. What is the point of spending so much money."

He looked at the little loach again, obviously happy. He hurriedly ordered the servant to pour some water and pour some tea.

After they sat down, Zhao Danian took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Du, Dongfang Xiao hasn't appeared in the martial arts world in recent years. I heard that this year is the most critical year for him to cultivate the Blood Demonic Palm."

Du Le continued to speak. That's right, his father was the tyrant of Martial Arts Forest twenty years ago, and later on he heard that his cultivation went berserk and he lost his mind, killing himself on the spot. Dongfang Xiao still did not know how to repent. Compared to his father, the things that he had done far surpassed him. It is the misfortune of today's Wu Lin! "

"What happened recently?" Zhao Danian asked.

Du Le recounted the events of the past few days to Zhao Danian.

Speaking of the genius doctor at the bottom of the valley, Book Sword suddenly interrupted. "With this farewell, I am truly worried for him, the Second Elder."

"The little loach looked at Little Dingdang's pair of eyes and hatefully said." If I ever meet Wang Dalun or Luo Tianyi again, I will definitely make them pay with their blood. "

Du Le forced a smile. If you don't beat him, he will beat you. If you let him win, he will think that you can't beat him, and he will lose his humanity and lose himself in the face of benefits. "

He looked at Zhao Dannian and said. My dear nephew, they are the hermits of the Ming Feng Sect, learning all the philosophy of the old and the middle. They are kind, compassionate, and do not wish to hurt others, but in the martial world, how can they allow themselves to do so? "

Zhao Danian's eyes lit up. The rivers and lakes are treacherous, but the hearts of men are not. I see that Brother Shi's mind is bright, and his face is rosy as he gathers the light of heaven and earth. You can be said to be a genius from the heavens. "

he continued. " Brother Du, please forgive this old brother's bluntness, but in this lifetime, I have been living a life full of sorrow, but I have been able to live with the wind and waves. My nature is benevolent, and I do not admire the benefits. Zhan Feng has good eyes indeed. He has taken in a good disciple. "

On this side, the little loach and Fang Bufang led little Dingdang to the side hall to practice. Sometimes he whistled through the wind, and other times he laughed out loud. The crowd cheered.

"" Zhao Danian continued. Brother Du, the Yellow Dragon Town territory is only ten miles away from here. Although it can't be considered to be bustling, it is still bustling with noise and excitement. Every mid-autumn, the wealthy merchants and merchants around would come to play here. In your group, you should pay more attention. "

"A mere Yellow Dragon Town actually has such a huge attraction?" Du Le asked.

"Haha, you don't know about this, right? There is an Exquisite Pavilion in the Yellow Dragon Town, and it is famous for its long and wide range of fame. This is a fireworks place, how could the people you want to enter be few?"

"Linglong Pavilion," Shujian thought to himself. Senior Blade Red said that the one who snatched away the green willow flower was the Exquisite Pavilion. "

Du Le was also somewhat surprised. "The fireworks venue will naturally attract some rich people to go there, but I heard that many of the girls here were snatched here."

Zhao Danian laughed. As far as I know, in the past two years, there has been a bandit who visited the Exquisite Pavilion often to hook up with the Brothel Keeper, and thus, was willing to do as he pleased. "

"I heard that Flower Butterfly was once a vast and boundless bandit that committed a crime in the south and was wanted by the authorities." This person came to Yellow Dragon Town with wind and rain, and actually began to live like an emperor. "

Du Le asked, "With his own strength, how could he make tens of thousands enemies?"

Zhao Danian's face turned serious. He stood up with one hand on his back and the other on his beard, "This is one of the reasons why I wanted to come back. I heard that a mysterious killing organization appeared in the Jianghu last year, and they were extremely ruthless, not leaving a single person alive.

"As for this flower butterfly, it has a thousand strands of relationship with them. It could be said that through this flower butterfly, we will be able to find out about this organization behind the scenes."

"I was entrusted by my friends to come back to see the other side on one hand, and to find out the situation on the other. I didn't think that I would meet you here, Brother Du. where do we not meet in life? "

Zhao Danian took a sip of tea. Ye Zichen sighed.

The book sword and Wen Zhu looked at each other, and they recalled that Dao Hong also said the same thing. Could it be the Yellow Dragon Town. "Indeed, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers." "If it's really as Senior Daohong said, then there's a woman behind that assassination organization, and the scented sachet that she wore on her chest was exactly the same as the little loach's, could it be the girl that saved the little loach when she was young?"

"The more I think about it, the more I think about it." If that's really the case, then it will most likely be a form of harm to the little Loach. It must be because her entire body was exterminated, causing her to vent her anger on others. So we should still be careful on this trip. "

Wen Zhu also thought of this, and when she looked at the book sword, she silently nodded her head.

From afar, he heard Little Dingdang and happily laughed.

When the book looked over, it turned out to be the little loach who had lost his butt while practicing martial arts.

When everyone saw this, they all began to laugh.

Suddenly, a sound came from outside the door. Suddenly, a person ran into the room with a blank look on his face.

"Not good, not good …"

Come out, come out. Knife Xu came looking for him.

Du Le took a closer look. This person was actually square and not round.

Fang Buyuan was also very surprised to see Du Le. One step back. He saw Zhao Danian with a single glance. "Immediately, I am overjoyed again." Master Zhao, you're back. That's great, that's great. I've been bullied again. "

Not too far away, the little Loach ran over when it heard this. Little Jingles was still playing.

"Big brother, what's wrong? What happened?" asked Fang.

He looked at the crowd again and said to Bu Guang, "Senior Du, this little loach you have met before. These two are his sworn brothers, sister-in-law, Shi Shujian Xiu Wen Zhu."

Fang Quyuan looked around at everyone with a happy expression on his face. "Great, great."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a commotion outside the door. Amidst the commotion, he kicked the door open. A group of people ran in.

The one in the lead was a fat man, his arms half bare. Carrying a kitchen knife. "A low voice and a muffled voice." It's not round, there's no place to run to. We don't get involved in each other's business. How dare you tear apart my reputation as the "Kitchen Knife"? So what if someone is supporting you, I won't be afraid of you. "

The person who had come was none other than Knife Xu and his servants.

When Knife Xu saw the crowd waiting in the hall, he was also stunned.

Taking a closer look, it actually hit his little mudfish inside. Of course he knew Zhao Danian. Du Le, Xiu Jian, and Wen Zhu also sat by his side, watching him attentively.

Suddenly, kitchen knife Xu became timid and he slowly lowered his knife. He said coldly, "So Master Zhao has returned. Your disciple and I did not come in the same direction, but this morning, you came to my territory and smashed my signboard." "Hmph, I can't take this lying down either."

Bu Fang walked over and asked after taking a glance at him, "What's going on?"

"They are the ones who are unreasonable … Irrational... Before, yesterday I asked the cook to... Go... to go and buy a few pounds of meat that he sold us... Whichever … They're actually all smelly, I'll go look for them this morning … Find... Find him, find him, he won't … No... Not only did he not admit it, he even... Also... You still want to hit me? I — One... In a fit of anger, he ordered his men to tear him apart … He … His signboard. "

He stuttered.

"That's not right. You should redeem yourselves by deceiving the common people. Even if you do too much, it is still within reason."

Zhao Danian walked over and said with a smile.

The kitchen knife Xu saw that there were many people in the hall, and with Zhao Dannian's support, he guessed that it would not be a big deal. He gave her a hard stare, "Hmph, we'll see!" With that, he turned around to leave with his servant.

"Wait."

Knife Xu turned his head and saw the little loach walking over with a giggle.

"In this Fang Family Village, there are no more than a hundred families. However, there were also those who roamed the countryside, bullying the markets. They don't even let a child go. "

"Poor little Dingdang, he is still just a child. He went everywhere to beg for food and stole two of your buns, but you actually mercilessly beat his grandfather to death. Justice is in the hearts of men, is this okay with you?"

The little loach became more and more agitated as he spoke, his gaze like a sword. He pointed to the kitchen knife in his right hand.

"" Knife Xu, seeing that the situation is unfavorable, immediately softened his stance. " "I admit that I did bully a child, but I didn't kill Keke."

"The little loach cried out." Little Dingdang, come out. Did he kill his grandfather? "

Little Dingdang hid behind the door. "No."

"If it's not you, then it's naturally Wang Danun." "Go back and tell him that if he continues to commit such heinous acts, I, the little Loach, will not show any mercy."

Knife Xu nodded his head repeatedly, then left in a sorry state with his servant.

"Little Loach smiled and said to Little Dingdang." Little Dingdang don't be afraid, with big brother here, no one will bully you. "If I leave, there will still be other brothers."

Not a big smile, "Thank you... Thank you... Thank you, Little Loach. I... I... I'll go prepare the water wine, we'll have a nice drink... "Haargh!" Have a drink, brother will accompany you … "Apologize.

At that moment, the restaurant was in an awkward position as they prepared food and drinks.

Zhao Dannian and Du Le had not seen each other for many years, and his heroic spirit had not diminished. He drank a few more cups. Book Sword, Wen Zhu, and Little Loach. They were of similar age and had drunk to their heart's content. Little Dingdang could feel from her heart that she had never felt this kind of happiness before.

Time was still and quiet. It was already the middle of autumn.

At this moment, the moon was large and round, emitting a gentle silver light in the sky.

A few branches blocked the moon, and the dead leaves swayed in the breeze. Looking from afar. It was like a painting made of ink. In the middle of the moon, waves of light flowed. The sky grew more hazy.

A few faint clouds floated along the edge of the moon, like the sleeves of a singer. His sleeves flowed with clouds, and the neon light gradually expanded.

Wen Zhu looked at the scene in the sky and could not help but be fascinated by it. She asked Shujian, "You know what Sister Chang'e is doing in the middle of the moon. She gave her boundless radiance to the human world while she waited for the cold and loneliness in this Moon Palace." He lowered his head without a word.

The sword walked over and patted her shoulder. " Chang'e-jiejie has the little white rabbit by her side. When he's lonely, he can still look at Wu Gang and the osmanthus tree. The Moon Palace was cold, but the human world was warm. "In my eyes, you are Chang'e."

Although the book's explanation was sincere, when he saw Wen Zhu look at him, he could not help but blush. The two people's eyes met, Wen Zhu, next to the book sword's shoulder. He couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone sat down in the courtyard, and Brother Yuan ordered the servants to prepare the dishes and wine.

However, instead of being satisfied with the result, it stopped.

The night was slightly cold.

Zhao Dannian raised his glass and said, "Brother Du, we haven't seen each other for many years, so let's take advantage of this holiday." "Come, let's have a bowl.

Everyone picked up their wine bowls and started drinking.

After a few cups of wine, Du Leyao was overjoyed and said, "Li Taibai was born in the past, and all the sages and sages of ancient times were lonely. He had paid more than his due name when calculating the length of his life. "How many things have happened in the world over the ages, and how many things have changed over the ages? How about a pot of wine?"

Wen Zhu said. Old Man Su's people were happy and sad together, the moon was bright and round, and his way of life was unpredictable and weathered by the vicissitudes of life. Therefore, scholars and wine could not be separated, and it was even more so for the distinguished guests of the martial arts world. Life and death were intertwined with each other, and their feelings intersected. With a smile, they quickly met each other. Under the moonlight, how many moving stories have been told. "

She looked at the sword. "Big brother, don't you think so?"

"Yeah, the moonlight is always nostalgic. When I see it, I think of my mother teaching me to read under the moonlight, teaching me to help others when I grow up, to be a good person."

He paused. Smile. "And when I was a kid, I used to play with little loaches in the moonlight every year. Sometimes I would tell them his jokes and tell them about my embarrassment. At that time, we were both very naughty and would often play a prank with Master Chu Feng. They don't blame us at all. "

"Afterwards, we met Senior Du. He told us a lot of stories about the martial arts world, and he also taught us a lot of truths. Then, a lot of things happened, and we met Wen Zhu. This should be the happiest thing that happened to me in my life."

At this point, the corners of his eyes were moist. "He picked up the wine bowl." Let me, Wen Zhu, Little Loach, the three of us, the two seniors, and the two brothers Bu Fang and Yuan Yuan to drink a bowl of wine. Today is the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Everyone picked up their wine bowls and drained them in one gulp.

Little Dingdang who was at the side also laughed.

This was the laughter that came from the bottom of his heart over the years.

Even though in his heart, he missed his father, his mother, and his grandfather. But now, in his heart, there was still the little Loach. And Brother Fang and the others, so deep down he was happy.

In the depths of his heart, he was still thinking about his distant mother, Master He. Mother, when I said goodbye, how are you doing? "

In Wen Zhu's heart, there was also some indescribable melancholy. His parents were far away in the south. In the past, his parents had stopped him from going out. They hadn't supported him. But then he remembered. His eyes were sparkling with tears.

The same was true for the little loach, as his experiences were similar to little Dingdang's. Thus, when he saw Little Dingdang, he would think of himself. Right now, there was only the book sword in his heart and it was irreplaceable.

The moon shone brightly, illuminating the sky.

Where are the people in the moonlight?

All of them had a mission because once they entered the martial arts world. There are so many entangling things that they are more or less. Or willing, or unwilling to do something right or wrong.

Everyone drank and chatted merrily, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

The Fang family's brothers saw the arrival of the Loach, Book Sword and the others. He was also overjoyed.

Everyone toasted the mid-autumn night.

A sudden laugh broke the silence of the night sky. A person's strange laughter could faintly be heard: "Haha, haha, come on, you can't catch up to me. There was another "poof", as if something had fallen. His voice slowly drifted down the wind. The few of them listened more and more clearly.

The sound gradually became softer as it grew closer. He then heard from behind, "The ends of the earth, where can you run to?"

The voice also gradually grew smaller, indicating that it was chasing that person.

The book sword listened to the sound, looking for the source of the sound. It was actually a black cloth bag. It was actually a butterfly with exquisite embroidery. When everyone came over to take a look. Du Le said in shock. "Is it a flower butterfly?
