Chapter 437: Three Shifts in the Middle of the Night
As the sun sets, the sky gets dark.
"Don't stand outside, come in and drink and wait. The fat man shouted in the temple.
"Drink first, and leave me alone. Nanfeng replied casually.
The fat man and the others only thought that he was standing outside the door waiting for Chu Huairou's big eyes, but they didn't know that he was looking at the mansions and pavilions under the cover of the night, the autumn trees and withered grass, these things that had always existed before but were ignored by him, but at this time, they were extremely real and kind.
For a lifetime, come empty-handed, go empty-handed, come with nothing, and can't take anything away when you go, attachment and reluctance are inevitable, but if you think about it carefully, attachment and reluctance are only from the greed of the heart, after all, after death, many of the beauty in this world can no longer be enjoyed.
It was only at this moment that he understood why people came to this world crying, just because life is a tragedy, and the most successful life is only to reverse this tragedy, so that although he cries, he can go with a smile.
The so-called conclusion of the coffin is actually meaningless, people live this life, not to gain the approval of others, because other people's cognition is not necessarily right, and what they think is right is not necessarily correct, if every move cares about the opinions of others, where do you put yourself? What is the meaning of wronging yourself for a lifetime, and finally getting a word of praise from others?
The same world, in the eyes of different people, has a different way of living, and they are all living according to the way they think it is right, greedy and enjoyable, lazy to eat, poor and luxurious, singing every night, in the eyes of many people, this is the meaning of life, this is where happiness lies.
But there are also some people who are self-denying, self-sacrificing, selfless, and selfless, and those who can do these things are usually regarded as saints by the world.
The former lives for himself all his life, for the yin. The latter lives for others all his life, for the yang. There is indeed a difference between the two, but there is no essential difference, both are disobedient and repressed by part of human nature, the former treats others badly, and the latter wrongs himself.
This is the foundation of human beings, the cornerstone of the world, treat benevolent relatives and friends, protect the simple and weak, do their best, and be kind.
All rules other than loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are imposed by the world, and the reason why they are obeyed is nothing more than to make things easier and make a living.
Yin and Yang are two ways of living, both complete and complete, self-denial and revenge do not necessarily have to be rigid in the details of the etiquette, self-sacrifice also depends on who the other party is, for the official to be honest and clean with clean sleeves, can not leave property for the children and grandchildren?
Be kind to yourself as well as to others. Do not indulge yourself, nor do you indulge others. In this way, Fang Weiying and Yin and Yang are the right way for people!
Thinking of this, the south wind sighed long, the ancients said, the morning heard that death can be carried out, and some things can only be seen clearly at the last moment, and only by experiencing life and death can we see life and death clearly.
"Southwind, come in. Lu Pingchuan summoned from the temple.
The fat man called, you can ignore it, Lu Pingchuan called, you have to go in.
"What are you doing shouting at him, let's drink inside, let him drink outside," the fat man held the wine jar and poured wine for Changle, the three of them were all big bowls, and only gave Changle a small cup.
"What are you doing here?" asked the fat man, pointing to the small cup.
"Changle has to practice, you can't drink too much. The fat man laughed.
"Who said that?" asked Nanfeng with a smile.
"He said it himself, in Yuxian County, that time......"
"Alright, don't make a fuss. Nanfeng brought the bowl and replaced the small cup.
The five of them chatted while drinking, chatting and waiting, drinking royal tribute wine, telling childhood stories, blood is thicker than water and depends on what kind of blood is blood, what kind of water is water, although the five people are not blood relatives, they are indeed righteous brothers in distress together, the fat man and others are the closest people to Nanfeng in the world, and on the last night of the world, with them, they are happy enough to dilute the sadness.
At the second watch, Nanfeng heard footsteps outside, the footsteps were very light, it should be a woman, but at this time it has not yet approached, so I don't know who it is.
The fat man and the others cultivated to be lower than the south wind, and the ears and eyes were not as sharp as him, and they didn't notice it until the person came to the temple, and at this time the south wind had already seen the appearance of the person who came, and it was a young woman, when there were twenty-three or four, her face was painted with powder, she was wearing a robe, carrying a big burden, and she was in a hurry.
Nanfeng didn't know the person who came, but he knew that this person was from the palace, because except for Gong E, there were very few women outside who would comb this kind of double-eared high bun.
"Who is this?" the fat man looked at the visitor suspiciously.
Everyone shook their heads.
When the woman saw the fire in the ruined temple, she walked more and more eagerly, took three steps and made two steps, and soon came to the temple, and bowed to the five people, saying that she was blessed.
"Duoli, who are you?" Lu Pingchuan stood up.
The woman did not answer, but said, "The slave and maid have been sent by their master to bring something to you. After that, he didn't wait for everyone to answer, put down his burden, and bent down to retire.
"Eh, don't hurry, who is your master?" the fat man beckoned.
The woman did not answer, but quickened her steps and went away.
The fat man sat closest to the door, so he went over and took the burden, unscrewed it, and saw that there were many small burdens in the baggage.
"It's like clothes. The fat man grabbed one casually.
"That's not for you. Nanfeng said.
The fat man tilted his head in confusion, and Nanfeng didn't speak, but just stretched out his finger and pointed to the knots on the corners of the baggage, which had knots on them, but the number of knots was different.
There are two knots on the burden that the fat man took, and it was for Lu Pingchuan without asking.
Lu Pingchuan took the burden handed over by the fat man, "Is it Boss Chu?"
Nanfeng nodded.
"Why didn't the eldest sister come to meet us?"
"What's the matter?" The fat man looked at Nanfeng, saw that Nanfeng had no reaction, and then looked at Changle, who also looked blank.
The fat man retracted his gaze and unscrewed the little burden that belonged to him, and it was indeed an azure garment inside, with high-quality materials and exquisite workmanship.
"It's really sent by the eldest sister. The fat man sighed, since someone was sent to send something, Chu Huairou naturally wouldn't come.
The four of them didn't answer, Lu Pingchuan and the fat man Mo Li were more confused than disappointed, but Nanfeng and Changle knew why Chu Huairou didn't come, Chu Huairou was ashamed of himself, and he had no shame to see his few righteous brothers.
"Come on, come on, one piece per person, don't live up to the eldest sister's wishes. The fat man gave the burden to everyone, first to Changle, Changle didn't take it, Nanfeng took it on his behalf and stuffed it to Changle.
I took another one, and the burden with the most knots was given to Mo Li, "Here, this is for you by the eldest sister." ”
"Hey, what is this?" After the five small burdens were divided, in addition to the small baggage that belonged to the big eyes, there was also a fist-sized flat round gold box left, the fat man reached out and grabbed it, opened the box, and saw that there was a folded and flat notebook inside, "It should be a letter from the eldest sister to us." ”
Hearing the fat man's words, the four of them looked at him in unison, waiting for him to recite.
I didn't think that the fat man spread out the notebook but frowned, "What is this?"
Lu Pingchuan took it casually, glanced at it, and handed it to Nanfeng, "It seems to be an ancient text." ”
Nanfeng took it and looked closely, he was very familiar with the Book of Heaven, and at a glance he recognized that these words were tortoiseshell Book of Heaven, and there were more than 50 ancient characters on the paper, which should be the rubbings of the Book of Heaven.
Previously, Nanfeng had translated the Book of Heaven correctly, and he had been a doctor for a long time, and he was already able to understand these ancient characters, which were indeed the Book of Heaven, but they were not one of the seven known Book of Heaven.
The fat man and Lu Pingchuan stared at Nanfeng and waited for him to speak, but it was Mo Li who didn't want to speak first, "Ah, my jade." ”
Hearing this, everyone tilted their heads and looked at Mo Li, only to see that Mo Li was holding a piece of green jade pendant in his hand, which was the one that was taken away in the early years.
Nanfeng already knew in advance that this jade pendant was taken by Chu Huairou, so he was not surprised, and moved his eyes to the book in his hand again, these fifty or so ancient characters were coherent with each other, and it was indeed a volume of the Book of Heaven, but how could Chu Huairou have a Book of Heaven?
After thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on me that this book of heaven is very likely to be the one cast on the Han Dynasty bell, that is, the volume that was obtained by Long Yunzi, when Long Yunzi invited the Emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty to send the Imperial Forest Army to Gong County to take away the bell, the Imperial Forest Army brought back the bell, it will inevitably be handed over to the emperor, out of curiosity, before the bell is handed over to Long Yunzi, the emperor is very likely to take a look, Chu Huairou is the emperor's favored Zhaoyi, and may have gone to see the bell that day.
"But the Book of Heaven?" Lu Pingchuan asked.
Nanfeng nodded, sat down cross-legged, took a pen and paper, and translated it word by word, he had done something similar, this time the translation was very fast, and after a short time, he translated the ancient words, and after comparing them, he made sure that they were correct, and handed the translation to Lu Pingchuan.
After Lu Pingchuan stretched out his hand to take it, he wrote another one and handed it to Changle.
"I want it to be useless. Changle shook his head.
Nanfeng stuffed the translation to Changle, "The tortoise shell to which this book of heaven belongs was discovered and taken away as early as the Han Dynasty, and now it must have been damaged, and these words were cast on the Han Dynasty bell, so it was preserved." ”
Hearing Nanfeng say this, Changle accepted the translation, "It's not too early, I should go." ”
"What are you going to do, the big eyes haven't come yet. The fat man shouted.
"It's rare to get together and not be busy. Lu Pingchuan said.
When Changle heard this, he didn't insist on leaving, and the five of them sat down again and continued to drink.
Knowing that Chu Huairou would not come, everyone's mood was greatly affected, and Changle was the worst, sullen and speechless.
Waited until the third watch, but the big eyes still didn't come.
Nanfeng knew that Big Eyes would not come, and he was not surprised, but what made him wonder why Zhuge Chanjuan did not come.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, the fat man came up with an idea to revisit his old place and return to his old business.
The so-called return to the old business, to put it bluntly, is to go out to beg for food.
Lu Pingchuan was naturally unhappy, and he couldn't bear to feel funny, so he reluctantly agreed, since he agreed, Nanfeng and Changle could only follow.
The fat man took Lao Bai in front, and the four followed, everyone originally lived here, and they were very familiar with the situation nearby, and they knew that there were a few families who were rich and unkind, and were stingy with alms, so they went there.
In front of the door, the fat man began to sing the lotus flower in his voice, and in the middle of the night, there was a sudden movement outside the door, and the owner was immediately frightened awake.
At first, he scolded at home, but then he was noisy by the fat man, so he wanted to go out and drive away, but when he opened the door, he was dumbfounded, even the blind man knew that the five people were not beggars.
The fat man stretched out the broken bowl and begged for alms, but the lord dared not to give it.
begged for one, and went to another house, this time for Lu Pingchuan, Lu Pingchuan was forced to be helpless, so he had to go forward to beg, because of the awkwardness in his heart, his face was not good-looking, he just banged on the door, and he didn't rap.
The main family was woken up, and when he opened the door, he saw Lu Pingchuan's gloomy face, and he trembled with fright.
"Don't play, don't play, it's boring. "The fat man is excited, this is begging, this is clearly robbery, now don't talk about ordinary people's food, even the palace tribute wine can be begged, I really can't find the feeling of the year.
Seeing this situation, Changle proposed to leave again, Lu Pingchuan and the fat man just wanted to answer, but Nanfeng preemptively spoke, "He is indeed in a hurry, let him go." ”
Since the south wind spoke, Lu Pingchuan and the others did not force them to stay, and let Changle go north.
When Changle walked around the corner of the street, Nanfeng shouted, "Changle." ”
Changle turned around when he heard the sound, and Nanfeng waved his hand at him, "Cherish." ”
Changle nodded, turned to walk, and disappeared into the street.
When Changle was gone, Nanfeng said to the fat man, "It's not too early, take the eldest brother and Mo to leave the investment store." ”
The fat man just wanted to answer, but Nanfeng said again, "Big brother and Mo Li have traveled a long way, they are tired and tired, and they need to rest in the shop." ”
"Big Eyes ......"
"She agreed with me on the third watch, and if the third watch is not there, I'm afraid she won't come," Nanfeng interrupted Lu Pingchuan's words, "Go to the investment store and take a good rest." ”
Seeing that Lu Pingchuan had never refused, the fat man agreed, "That's it, let's go, let's stay in the hotel." ”
The fat man went first, and Lu Pingchuan nodded at the south wind and followed the fat man.
Mo Li waved his hand at Nanfeng, "Sixth brother, see you tomorrow." ”
Nanfeng smiled and didn't answer.
After the three of them walked out of more than ten zhang, Nanfeng shouted, "Go back to the broken temple tomorrow at noon to find me." ”
"Got it. The fat man didn't look back, and gradually walked away with the two......
