Back to the Ming Dynasty Chapter 60 Worship at the Tomb of Kong Ming
One day, Liu Bowen led several entourages to pay respects to the Kongming cemetery in eight sedan chairs. Walk through the tall archway and just go up the flower stone steps. A huge monument stands in front of you, and there are five big characters in the seal body of the Wolong Mountain people's own book "I am to no one to arrive". Berwyn gave a deep salute with his fists, raised his eyes and swept them up and down, and couldn't help laughing. "Wolong Mountain People" is a good calligraphy, the pen is vigorous and powerful, and the words are majestic and magnificent, which is not inferior to Xizhi and Zhenqing. It's that the foresight is bad, and it is low under my feet. I don't want to be a dignified prime minister of Shu with only the front eye and no back bead, vainly trying to have a false and crooked name that knows 500 years before and 1,000 years later. Berwyn dared to laugh at you being three feet shorter than me, but I didn't expect you to be there too! The prophecy on the stele is wrong, deceiving the world and deceiving people, it is better to knock down and smash it, so as not to obscure the eyes and confuse the public. As soon as Berwyn's words fell, his entourage took two steps forward. Lift up the iron and stone guy and smash the stele into three pieces.
Berwyn was very arrogant, and when he saw the monument falling to pieces, he couldn't help but sneer. "Known as Zhuge Liang as the first capable person in the world, he is not worthy of his name after my personal verification. From now on, the world's most capable person can replace him except Berwyn!" Berwyn cut his hands behind his back, got carried away, shouted left and right, swaggered backwards, and in less than twenty paces, a huge stele with a round head blocked the way. The stone color of this stele is pink and purple, the skin is coarse, covered with moss marks, and the handwriting is faint. Berwyn ordered to wipe off the dust and dirt with others, carefully identify it with one stroke at a time, and suddenly felt flustered, his soul was scattered, and his mouth shouted "Sin, sin!" The student is arrogant, does not know the height of the sky, destroys the monument and humiliates the teacher, the sin is so serious, he deserves death. It turned out that the stele was written by Kong Ming himself, "Only Berwyn to" five regular script characters.
Berwyn's face was full of shame and embarrassment, so he quickly saluted respectfully, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed a thousand with sincerity and piety. After the ceremony, his body was as heavy as a mountain, his knees were as soft as mud, and he couldn't stand up no matter how hard he tried. When he was in distress, he suddenly saw a line of small words engraved on the bottom of the round-headed stele: "Berwyn wore a helmet and saluted and took off his helmet." Berwyn seemed to feel that Kong Ming was in front of him, and suddenly felt that his scalp was tightened, his hair stood on end, and he hurriedly took off his golden helmet, threw his five bodies to the ground, and bowed to him again and again before standing up. I didn't realize that I was covered in cold sweat and soaked through my underwear. Liu Bowen was domineering when he saw the first stele and didn't care. When he saw the second stele, he was frightened and dumbfounded, and his majestic style was killed without a trace. Berwyn was convinced, and when he came back from the cemetery, he deliberately and respectfully went to the Kong Ming Temple to set up a case to burn incense and bow his head to worship his teacher. I saw a bowl of cold water on the table, and the wisps of fragrance came to my nose. Under the bed is a pair of court boots, Zhou Bang is at the bottom, and the needle is delicate. Out of curiosity, he took a glass of water and drank it down, put on his boots and walked three laps in a row. Laughing day: "Drinking my master's water is honest and not greedy, and wearing my master's boots is not biased." When I went out of the door and looked up, there were two lines of gold words written by Zhuge Liang on the big photo wall in front of me: "Wear my boots, drink my water, and walk to the sand dunes to meet the disaster." Berwyn didn't look at it, but when he saw it, he knew that the trip was not good, and his ears roared, his eyes glazed, his face was panicked, and his stomach was secretly screaming. Berwyn has always had a heart higher than the sky, a courage greater than the sky, and he has only won and not lost in wars all his life, and he has no choice but to do things without being bad. Today, Kong Ming received the lesson in front of him, he felt three feet low, and he was timid, seeing that Zhuge Liang knew that he was in trouble, and he expected that the situation would be unpredictable, and disaster would be in trouble. Looking back and looking intently at the golden words on the wall for a while, he sighed leisurely: "Life has its own aspirations, each has its own way to serve the country, each has its own history of wind and rain, and each has its own life." You can't live, you can't live. Then he gave a deep salute to the statue of Kong Ming, and then slowly walked out of the door and got on the sedan chair to set off. After walking the trail to the south and going to the main road, I hesitated for a while, and suddenly made a mistake again. "How far is it from here to Dune?" The palanquin man replied, "It's eighty miles when it's full." Berwyn frowned, lifted the sedan curtain and poked his head out and waved his hand: "Turn your head and first insert it diagonally to the southeast for fifty miles, and then go diagonally to the southwest for fifty miles, string a big circle, and go around Dune Town." The palanquin man did as he was told, silent all the way.
Berwyn and his party walked dozens of miles, avoiding Dune Town far away, and embarked on the post road back to Kyoto. While crossing a long-dried riverbed of leaky sand, he met two groups of urchins, east and west, each occupying a sand dune and playing against each other. On one side of the east sand dune is the gossip formation, and on the west side of the sand dune is the long snake formation. Throwing stones and gravel at each other, sticks up and down, attacking and defending. Shouting and tearing and killing. "East Dune wins, West Dune loses!" Berwyn was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard the word Dune, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and his head was dizzy. Immediately stopped the horse and stopped the sedan chair, and instructed left and right: "My master Zhuge Kongming calculates the sky and the earth, and the gods speak fairy." I can escape Dune Town, I can't escape Dune River. I understand with all my heart, die without resentment, and I am willing to leave a few words to warn future generations. ”
The entourage took out the pen and ink, and Berwyn wrote the day: "The mountain is always high, but the sky is big but boundless; Seeking victory and worrying about defeat will not be defeated, learning from each other's strong points and making up for weaknesses will not be short; knowing mistakes and correcting mistakes will end up being good, and knowing shame and shame will never be ashamed. I am arrogant, there is no one in my eyes, I never think about my mistakes, I don't make up for the shortage, and I will be severely punished by my teacher. Invite the disaster of death. At this time, I woke up, it was too late to regret, and I hope that everyone will pass on my message to warn his children and grandchildren. Berwyn wrote this, brushed his pen, spat blood, and died of exhaustion.
Hide your face and weep with others, and let out a loud cry of sorrow. Hurry up and wear white and hang filial piety, buy a coffin and decorate it, rent a car overnight to hire people, and help the coffin to move forward. Weeping and lamenting all the way: "The adults are both civil and military, have both ability and political integrity, and are a generation of heroes." followed Taizu to fight in the south and the north, was born and died, laid the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and suffered from wind and frost. Its merits are known to the people of the country, and the world knows everything. It is a pity that he is arrogant and cannot tolerate people, and finally falls into this misfortune on the sand dunes and river beaches. When an adult realizes the mistakes of his life when he is dying, he leaves the golden stone mantra to admonish future generations, which is really the act of the wise man who knows it, which makes people awe and miss the future. ”
Although this is just a legend, there is no way to verify whether it is true or false, but this Liu Bowen is a genius. As for the magic stick in Ah Ling's mouth, Lin Hainan didn't care much about it.
Not much to say, the princess and Park Enbei are two playful masters, what they see must be to make a look, this went down to the fortune-telling booth, I couldn't help but look a few more times, the man saw that there was a guest, quickly got up and greeted him with a smile. Are the two girls telling fortunes or asking questions? The old man asked in a deep voice.
Park Enbei glanced at the old man, and thought, I know how to do metaphysics, you look like a god stick at most, and you dare to show off in front of you, it's just a class with an axe. But the princess thought it was funny, looking at the old man's childish face, quite a fairy wind bones, and she didn't care whether it was spiritual or not, so she waved her hand. "Fortune telling. ”
The old man saw that this man was going to tell fortunes, so he quickly got up and said, "The girl has good eyesight, and she tells fortunes here with me, all of which work, may I ask the girl whether she wants to ask about things or ask for hanging?"
"It's not me who counts, it's him who counts!" Princess Yongan pointed at Feng Jianfei.
Feng Jianfei looked at Princess Yongan suspiciously, obviously she was playful, but now she pulled him out as a shield. But by this time the princess had pressed him down on the stool beside the little table.
The old man was even more happy when he saw that it was not only these two girls, but also so many people. Then he hurriedly got up and greeted him.
"I said, sir, how about you tell him a fortune? It is better to give him a fortune telling, so that he will not always worry about his future. The princess pretended to be serious. Park Eun-be, who was next to him, also coaxed.
"Yes, yes, you calculate his future and see if he can win the top prize or something. ”
"Are you two finished? I don't believe in this, besides, life and death are rich and noble, why are you doing so many things?" Feng Jianfei remembered, but was held down by the two of them.
"Even if you count, if you really figure out that you can get a top prize or something, we'll follow suit, won't we?" said the princess.
"That's it, let's see if this gentleman is accurate" Park Eun-bay actually wanted to see what kind of fame this magic stick could make.
"You ...... Can you spare me...... I beg you......" Feng Jianfei was about to cry.
"You sit honestly for me, or I'll clean up your ...... when I get back," Park whispered in his ear. Feng Jianfei turned his head and didn't speak again.
When the old man saw that there was a door-to-door business, how could he let it go. Close the paper fan and point to the signboard next to it.
"Little brother, don't be afraid, the four words of Jin Yu Liangyan are not my Liu Mou put gold on my face, I have been setting up a stall in this capital for 20 years, and I have never been eye-catching. Everyone who knows me calls me Liu Banxian, you can rest assured, you are not allowed to ask for money. ”
"This old man is full of nonsense, this new capital has just been built for a few years, although there used to be a prosperous market here, but listening to his accent, he looks like a southerner, and he has been telling fortunes here for twenty years, isn't this nonsense?" Ah Ling whispered to Lin Hainan on the side.
"Let's see what he has to say...... I think this guy is interesting. After all, it's an old man, and it's not easy to eat at night when you're old. We have to be forgiving and forgiving. Don't demolish him," Lin Hainan said softly.
"That's right, at his age, it's not easy for him to eat by talking about it...... It's up to him," Ah Ling's heart softened.
Feng Jianfei was pressed by the two, and it was not easy to count, he turned sideways and rolled his eyes at the old man and said, "Then you can calculate the future for me, see if I can take the top exam or something"
"Okay!Okay!Okay!May I ask your son, your birthday!" Liu Banxian's paper fan was packed with a good look.
"No! I can't remember......" Feng Jianfei was already on fire, and now this Liu Banxian still wants his birthday. Of course, there are no good words.
"You don't pretend, how can you not know your birthday? That Princess Yongan pinched Feng Jianfei and said.
"I didn't know, so I said I don't count, you have to count me, I don't know how to count my birthday?" Feng Jianfei didn't have a good breath.
