"Brother Zhu, it's almost noon now. Should we go back to the city directly, or find a place to mat it?" Zhou Laosan asked weakly after leaving the Ma Family Manor.

"Don't hurry back to the city. Walk up the river seven or eight miles, there is a Zhaojia Town. There is also a scholar there. Although he is not as famous as the three of them, he should be a little talented. We went to visit him. If the other party disagreed, we happened to deal with him in Zhaojia Town." Zhu Yuanhao pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse under his crotch immediately changed direction.

I heard that I planned to have lunch in Zhaojia Town at noon, but the soldiers didn't complain and followed closely on horseback.

"After the twists and turns, this person is a tenacious person. No wonder Yunsheng takes a fancy to him..." Seeing the few people leaving quickly, Bai Susu exclaimed again.

"Let's follow again." Chang Jin nodded without saying much. In fact, he is now quite satisfied with Zhu Yuanhao's performance. As Bai Susu said, people who have achieved great things since ancient times must be tenacious people. If they give up once they encounter setbacks, such a person will never be able to achieve great things.

The two of them used the secret technique of the earth to perform the secret technique at a very fast speed, and they arrived in just a few breaths.

When he arrived outside the town, Chang Jin looked at it intently and immediately exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Bai Susu asked strangely.

Chang Jin pointed his hand at a place in the north of Zhen and said, "Look at it!"

Bai Susu looked in the direction her husband pointed, and saw a red air rising from the sky half a mile away, with a pure color and condensing but not dissipating, which made people suddenly feel a brilliant feeling in their hearts, as if they wanted to block her spiritual consciousness.

"The town is lucky, and it seems that the person Zhu Yuanhao is visiting should be there. Let's take a closer look."

Although Zhaojia Town is not far from Qutang County, it is already a hilly area and its terrain is remote. Therefore, the thieves caused chaos a few days ago and the place was not affected by much trouble.

Less than half a mile after passing the town, I saw seven or eight families sitting under a low mountain. They did not enter the village, but stood far away on the mountain, with the arrangements in the lower courtyards in their eyes. The red light they sensed just now came from one of the courtyards.

The courtyard is no different from the houses of other residents. They are all thatched on the roof and adobe stones as walls. They are extremely simple. There is an old woman in front of the door drying the newly washed clothes.

However, there is a sycamore tree in the yard that is thick with two people, with many branches on it. It is still early spring, and the sycamore tree is sporadically green, but it can be imagined that when summer comes, the yard will be full of green, and it is as tall as a canopy.

On the earth in the past life, the ancients often linked the sycamore tree and the phoenix.

For example, in Zhuangzi's Qiushui chapter, it is written: "There is a bird in the south, whose name is a turtle. Do you know that? The turtle hair grows from the South China Sea and flies in the North Sea, and it is not the turtle tree..."

In this world, people also highly respect the sycamore tree and think that this tree is of great auspiciousness. Many families will plant sycamore trees in the courtyard.

What surprised them slightly was that this sycamore tree actually emitted a faint spiritual energy.

However, the red air I saw before was not emitted by the sycamore tree, but was revealed from the young man reading under the tree.

Chang Jin clearly sensed through his spiritual sense that this person had two kinds of luck. One was his own luck, which was full of red energy and formed into clouds and mist, just like a crocodile crowing, which was extraordinary.

There was a red line hanging around his neck, and a broken jade piece was adorned below the red line. From the shape, it looked like a seal with many ancient patterns engraved on it. The previous glorious fortune was exactly what it was sent out.

"Yunsheng, is the incomplete treasure he wears?" Bai Susu asked in surprise. This treasure was seriously damaged and still burst out with red energy. It was obviously very impressive and had some origins.

Just looking at the scholar, he had no magic power in his body, and he should be an ordinary scholar, which really made people feel a little weird.

"Well, if I expected it, this scholar was lucky, but later he got this treasure and gradually nourished some luck, and he also benefited from the sycamore trees in the courtyard." Chang Jin opened his mouth to analyze.

He was not wrong. The scholar in the courtyard was named Wang Lin, and the treasure hanging on his neck was indeed obtained from entering the mountain several years ago.

When Wang Lin was young, his family was still well off. His father helped him become a shopkeeper in a shop in the town, and he had some extra money to send his son to school.

However, when he was nine years old, his father died of illness, and the remaining mother was the only one who did housework. Fortunately, there were still a few acres of thin fields at home, so they couldn't starve them. However, since then, Wang Lin has never entered the school again. He spent most of his time at home, and herding cattle for others or collecting herbs in the mountains to subsidize their family income.

But when he had enough money, Wang Lin would go to the market to buy a few books to study, and occasionally he would stand outside the school window and listen to the Master's lecture.

Due to the intermittent reading and no one is careful to teach, Wang Lin's knowledge can only be considered ordinary among the people.

A few years ago, he went into the mountain to collect herbs and unknowingly entered the depths of the mountain. When he passed by a mountain road, a fishy storm suddenly broke out, and a dark tiger as dark jade jumped out behind the big pine tree. The tiger was tall and strong, with fierce intentions in his eyes. He rushed four or five feet away and jumped in front of Wang Lin.

When Wang Lin saw the tiger, he was immediately frightened and had no reaction at all.

I originally thought that I would definitely die in front of a beast.

But the black tiger did not come forward and threw him to the ground, but instead bent down his limbs and let out a low whimper in his mouth.

Wang Lin woke up and did not go into it in depth. He just grabbed the basket and ran out of the mountain.

Heihu rushed over and jumped forward to block his way.

After repeated incidents, Heihu had no intention of hurting Wang Lin, but instead kept blocking him from leaving.

Wang Lin remembered that he had heard from an old man in the village that the beasts in the mountains were human, so he asked tentatively: "What's wrong with you?"

Heihu really knew how to speak, he growled, and then pointed his head slightly, with a bit of begging in his eyes, as if he wanted the other party to help him if he had something to do.

"If you have anything, please tell me?" Wang Lin asked again.

But the black tiger opened its bloody mouth and a fishy smell came to his face. Wang Lin gradually became bolder and walked forward a few steps closer. He saw a bone spur as thick as a thumb in the tiger's throat, which happened to be stuck there.

At this moment, Wang Lin understood what Heihu meant and said, "Do you want me to pull out the bone spurs for you? If so, just nod your head."

Heihu immediately clicked three times when he heard this.

So Wang Lin plucked up the courage to put his arm into the tiger's mouth and pulled out the bone spurs with difficulty.

After the matter was over, the tiger glanced at the other party a few times and roared and left.

Wang Lin thought the matter was over and rushed out of the mountain with a basket. When he was about to reach the mountain pass, the black tiger appeared in front of him again.

It lowered its head and spit out a piece of broken jade, signaled to Wang Lin, and disappeared again in the deep mountains.

Knowing that it was the other party's thank-you gift to him, Wang Lin felt a little more emotion in his heart, and then stepped forward to pick up the Canyu and looked at it carefully.

He found that the broken jade might be a jade seal, but it was severely damaged. The handwriting on it was blurred and unrecognizable, and there was no origin.

After returning home, Wang Lin didn't care much about the broken jade at first, but the patterns on it looked pretty good, so he simply tied the seal with a rope and hung it around his neck as decoration.

Not long after, he found that his mind seemed to be enlightened. He read a book like a god. He could not understand the meaning of an article dozens of times before, but now he has only read it a few times and has already understood the true meaning and can even recite it.

Feeling that he had changed, Wang Lin began to think about the reason, and finally it came down to this broken jade. From then on, this broken jade never left his body.

The year before yesterday, Wang Lin specially signed up for the Qutang County Examination, and then entered the prefecture examination. Although he was not the leader of the case, he was also among the first.

It was only last year that the thief made trouble that he returned to the village to live and pondered his future.

After sensing the magic of the incomplete treasure, Bai Susu nodded and said, "It should be so. This person has great luck. Judging from his fate, he is just gray and white. With the blessing of the treasure, it is a drastic change, several times stronger than the three people just now. If Zhu Yuanhao could tell this person, today would be worth the trip."

While they were talking, Zhu Yuanhao and others were already riding horses outside the village.

"Brother, it's here. Look at the sycamore tree, it's so big!" They had asked clearly in the town just now that there was a sycamore tree in Wang Lin's yard.

"If you plant sycamore trees in the courtyard, you will have a noble life," Zhu Yuanhao replied with a smile, turned over and dismounted, and said, "Let's walk, don't disturb the noble people."

When he approached, Zhu Yuanhao stepped forward and saluted to the old woman drying clothes and said, "Madam, Mr. Wang Junfu lives here!"

Wang Lin's mother was a little ill, and she didn't pay attention to the movement behind her before. She was only surprised at this moment: "Where did you come from? What's the matter with me?"

"We came from Qutang County and heard that the prince and prince were famous for their visits." Zhu Yuanhao replied respectfully again. Seeing the old woman, he suddenly remembered his mother.

At this time, Wang Lin had already heard the conversation in the yard and hurriedly walked out the door and said, "The young master is Wang Junfu. I wonder what happened to the heroes who came to the door?"

The few people turned their heads and saw that the young man in front of him looked simple, dressed simply, and even had a few patches. At a glance, it was not much different from ordinary farm boys.

However, after careful observation, I could feel that he could stand there casually, and he would feel indescribable demeanor, which made people dare not look down on him.

"I am Zhu Yuanhao, the general of the guard under the marquis. They are all my brothers. A few days ago, I heard that there were a few talented people in Tongqu County, so I wanted to come to visit me. I hope the prince will not see you."

"You are the general who killed Zhao Dahu that day? Please invite him quickly!!" Wang Lin said enthusiastically and invited them into the yard.

Compared with the previous neglect, several sergeants immediately felt very good about Wang Lin.

After several people sat down on the stone pier in the yard, Wang Lin said, "I admired General Zhu's killing of the enemy before. I had the idea of ​​seeing you all, but I didn't expect that the few people would suddenly appear in front of the young people."

Wang Lin's words were not false. When the government army recovered Qutang County, he deliberately paid attention to relevant information. Especially Zhu Yuanhao's name, he kept hearing it in the countryside these days.

Unlike classmates like Ma Zhiyuan, Wang Lin admired this person very much.
