    "Uncle Zi, the scholar is back!" Before they reached the door of the house, the four dogs barked. Almost immediately, the door creaked open, and Zijian stood at the door. The door opposite also creaked open, and the small stone was already there.  He rushed out and circled around Taxue like a puppy that had let loose.  Auntie stood at the door with a worried look on her face.  "Dad, I'm hungry." Zi Baifeng got off the donkey and asked, "Is there anything delicious at home?" "Yes, yes!" A smile appeared on Zijian's face, "Today Zhuzhu sent a  The hare is simmering in the pot. You and the four dogs are coming together. Let's have a drink." Seeing what Zi Baifeng wanted to say, Zijian said with a straight face: "Bai Feng, you are not allowed to drink." "How can this be good  "The four dogs were embarrassed and happy at the same time, not knowing what to do.  Although it was said that they were drinking, Zijian was thoughtful, and Si Gou did not dare to drink more. The two of them had two glasses of wine and decided to send Si Gou away. Zijian's face dropped and he said: "You¡ª¡ª  " As soon as the word you was spoken, there was a knock on the door. Zi Baifeng stepped forward to open the door, and saw a little guy standing timidly outside the door. Zi Baifeng thought it was a small stone at first, but after a closer look  Look, I realized it was Xiao Tuozi.  He reached out and touched Xiao Tuozi's bare head and said, "Xiao Tuozi, why are you here so late?" "Sir." Xiao Tuozi glanced at Zi Baifeng timidly, handed over a basket, and said:  "My dad asked me to bring you some mushrooms. My dad just picked them from the mountains today" "Give me mushrooms?" Zi Baifeng felt warm in his heart, as if he was blocked by something. Suddenly something happened  No words can come out.  After a while, he said: "Thank you, Xiao Tuozi, come in quickly, come in quickly." Zijian said polite words while taking something to hold the mushrooms. The villagers gave each other some delicious things. It was nothing.  No need to be pretentious.  Zi Baifeng went into the house and took some small cakes bought from Mengcheng - they were originally gifts for his husband, but they were returned - and stuffed them into Xiao Tuozi's arms. He looked at Xiao Tuozi's smile.  , Zi Baifeng suddenly felt that everything he had done was really worth it.  "Dad, I'll take Xiao Tuozi back." Zi Baifeng held Xiao Tuozi's hand. Now that the night was dark, Zi Baifeng was worried.  "No no need" Xiao Tuozi wanted to say something else, but Zi Baifeng pulled his hand away. Walking on the road, Xiao Tuozi raised his head and glanced at Zi Baifeng. Under the night, the hazy figure could not be seen clearly.  The lights near and far were so dim that only Zi Baifeng's hazy profile could be seen. From this angle of Xiao Tuozi, Zi Baifeng was so tall.  I sent Xiao Tuozi to the door of my house. The door was ajar. Xiao Tuozi opened the door, but turned around and said, "Sir!" "What's wrong? You have to go to class tomorrow. Don't be late." "Sir, I  When you grow up, you want to be the village leader." Xiao Tuozi stood up straight and said seriously.  Zi Baifeng smiled, but didn't know what to say. He just reached out and touched Xiao Tuozi's head and said: "Munzheng is nothing. Xiao Tuozi, you want to be a high official, a prince, a prefect, then  That¡¯s called majesty. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be majestic, I just want to be like Mr.  "In the darkness, Xiao Tuozi's eyes reflected the starlight, and his eyes were just like Zi Baifeng's eyes when he looked at his teacher, trusting and admiring. "You have to study hard.  "Zi Baifeng squatted down and rubbed Xiao Tuozi's head vigorously, "Grow up quickly and become brave.  " "Well, sir!  "Little Tuozi nodded seriously, as if he could grow up faster like this. "Go quickly, I'm going back too.  "Zi Baifeng watched Xiao Tuozi close the door, then turned and walked away. His heart felt warm, and endless courage seemed to come out. "Bai Feng.  "When he walked near the ancestral hall, Zi Baifeng heard Yan Laowu's voice. "Old man?  Why are you here?  Scared me!  "Zi Baifeng patted his chest. "I went to your house just now, and your father said you were going to see Xiao Tuozi off, so I'm waiting for you here.  Yan Laowu said, his voice a little hoarse, "Bai Feng, come here."  " Zi Baifeng followed him blankly. Could it be that the old man wanted to lead him into the dark place Bah! Yan Laowu pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, and then walked into the hall. The statue of the god still stood majestic in the hall. Yan Laowu  At five o'clock, he burned a stick of incense, bowed to the stone statue of his ancestors, and waited quietly for a moment, then stepped forward and moved the abutment in front of the stone statue. Then he knelt down and opened a secret door in the underground.  ? Killing? Such words echoed in Zi Baofeng¡¯s head. ¡°Come in.  "Waiting for all the stale atmosphere inside to disappear, Yan Laowu walked in carrying the candle on the altar table, and Zi Baifeng quickly followed. "Bai?, I didn¡¯t want to bring you here.  "Yan Laowu sighed, "This is the biggest secret of our Xiayan Village. It is not recorded in any accounts and is only passed down from generation to generation by our elders.  " "You are not a descendant of our Yan family, but if I tell you this, my ancestors will not blame me.  "Yan Laowu walked in. It was a small basement. There was only one box in the basement. When Zi Baifeng entered the basement, he felt his spiritual energy steaming. When he looked closely, he was even more shocked. "  The spiritual energy was overflowing, and the spiritual energy was rising gently like green smoke. Zi Baifeng looked up and saw that it should be the platform behind the altar, the platform with the stone statues of his ancestors. And these hazy spiritual energy were obviously caused by the stone statues.  Absorbed or suppressed. No wonder the ancestral statues in Xiayan Village are entirely made of stone, not clay. The stone is not easy to damage, and it is also heavy and difficult to move. It will reduce the number of times others come into contact with the stone statue, and it will also reduce the number of others discovering this place.  Odds. Without opening the box, Zi Baifeng could guess what was inside. However, Yan Laowu still opened the box. The box was covered with thick animal skins to separate the contents.  Densely packed jade: ¡°Our ancestors once warned us that jade will eventually disappear, but the living will have no limit.  Be prepared for danger when you are in peace, and be prepared for danger.  "When these elegant words came out of Yan Laowu's mouth, it was rare for Zi Baifeng not to feel that they were inconsistent, because these were the original words in the "Jade Scripture", which were compiled by the ancestors of the Yan family and passed on to future generations.  As a clan elder, Yan Laowu has long memorized the jade-hunting techniques and a book that records the warnings of his ancestors. ¡°As clan elders, we must put part of the jade we find into this book every year.  In the box, there are as many as three or five, as few as one or two. Even in these years, I have brought the jade stones I saved in the early years and put them here.  " Zi Baifeng vaguely remembered that when he saw the old man several times, he was here at the ancestral temple. He originally thought that the old man was nostalgic and commemorating his ancestors, but now it seems that this is not the case. Although the air here is stuffy,  But it¡¯s not stale, and the surroundings are relatively clean. Apparently people come to clean it frequently. ¡°There are 507 jade stones in this box now, and I put 75 of them in it.  "The old man gently stroked the box, as if stroking his own child, nostalgically and affectionately. This is the secret he has always guarded, the meaning of his existence, and the duty he upholds. And now, he has revealed all this.  , placed it in front of Zi Baifeng and let him make the decision. Seeing Zi Baifeng's embarrassed look, the old man smiled, reached out and patted Zi Baifeng on the shoulder, and said, "What are you thinking about?  I'm not old yet. I just want to tell you, don't risk your life for these things. You have a bright future. It's not worth it for these extraneous things We are not responsible for the things in Xiayan Village.  The truth about you.  "But I am Muramasa." Zi Baifeng said in his heart. "Don't worry, even if I die, I will not let them succeed so easily. The jade stones we have in Xiayan Village have never been really used. This is  This is the last legacy left by my ancestors to future generations. I will never do anything to disgrace my ancestors.  "Yan Laowu waved his fist. "You just said that it's not worth the risk for this little thing. What's the point of having to live and die again? Zi Baifeng slandered. He left the cellar with Yan Laowu and covered it up carefully, Zi  Baifeng only felt that his heart was heavy, as if the heavy jade was not packed in the box, but in his heart. "Have a good sleep, and come with me to the mountains to look for jade tomorrow morning, boy!"  "Yan Laowu patted Zi Baifeng on the shoulder. "I would like to go, but I have to give a lecture tomorrow. I haven't lectured for several days, and these kids are impatient to wait.  " Hearing what Zi Baifeng said, Yan Laowu laughed and said, "That's right. Let me also let you know that we have repaired two places of Xunyu's hut in the mountains. We will not come back tomorrow night.  Spend a night in the mountains and see if you can find more jade.  "Old man, this matter of repairing the inn" Zi Baifeng asked with a smile. "You go back to sleep."  "The old man immediately turned around. Zi Baifeng laughed, put his hands behind his back, and went back to his home. Although he failed to convince Fei Jianzi, there are still many things that Zi Baifeng can do within the three-month period. Since  After the first tax incident, Zi Baifeng became a little slack. At this moment, he became more motivated. For three months and ninety days, even under normal conditions, he found two or three pieces of jade every day.  This is enoughIt¡¯s the jade tax.  Luo Qianshan told Zi Baifeng not to think so much and just focus on the things he should take care of. If it was just Xiayan Village, then he really didn't have to worry about paying the jade tax.  But there were two things that made Zi Baifeng very unhappy.  Why do we need to pay jade tax?  After paying the jade tax, it was used to build the spirit gathering array. The spirit gathering array would rob the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even the spiritual energy of Xiayan Village, resulting in less jade. This kind of thing is not helping the evil.  ?  You Feijianzi said, you just rely on your sword, then I will also make a sword, a peerless demon sword!  Let¡¯s see which one is more powerful, your fairy sword or my demon sword!  Although the fairy sword is powerful, it is just a rocket launcher. At most, it can fire continuously. What's the big deal?
