Chapter 1223: Civil, Martial and Talented

After talking about it in detail, I began to drink the tea soup, and at this moment, I heard a commotion, and from time to time someone applauded, and the sound was like thunder.

The people listened curiously, opened the lily window, and looked out, and saw an old man come in, the old man's beard was white, but his steps were very steady, and his spirit was very good, and the people seemed to be very familiar with him, and when they saw him come in, they shouted one after another.

Yang Zheng didn't hurry to ask, but saw the old man arching his hand at everyone, and said, "The old man is ugly!" After speaking, he repeated it again in Annan language.

The crowd applauded.

The old man smiled, reached into his arms, took out an ancient book from his arms and put it on a long table in front of him, and then took out a brush board, "come, the brush board is three or four pieces of pear wood two inches wide and less than a foot long, after being smoked and planed, two small eyes are put on the upper end, and they are threaded with sheepskin rope or fine hemp rope to form a musical instrument similar to "Allegro".

This brush plate is a storyteller's instrument, and when telling a story, the lower piece is firmly tied to the right calf, and the flicker of the toe is used to drive it to stir up the sound. In addition, the storyteller also holds a small "Lianhua music" on his right hand and uses the vibration of the three strings to make a sound. With this lotus music, playing the three strings has a very unique sound, and it suddenly looks much more lively.

For storytelling, Yang Zheng has some memories, listening to the older generation, they didn't have any entertainment activities at that time, and at night, the most listened to was storytelling, and the men, women and children in the village had to sit around a cave. The storyteller shakes his head, points fingers, laughs and scolds, exaggerates his expression, sometimes pretends to be a man, sometimes pretends to be a woman, humorous and funny, dizzying, and laughing. When it comes to the climax, the audience erupts into laughter from time to time, and the whole cave is immersed in joy; when it comes to sorrow, the artist's voice is hoarse, like crying and complaining, and the audience often can't help it, tears flow, and the string sound is low, as if it is broken or broken, and the sorrow comes from it, and no one in the whole book field is sad and no one is not sad. When I was a child, I used to sit in the crowd and listen to the blind entertainers tell stories. A "small paragraph" is often added in front of it, and then the original is opened. For example, "The Biography of the Five Daughters of the Tang Dynasty", "Xue Rengui's Expedition to the West", "The Crow's Complaint", etc., often make me fascinated, as if I am immersed in the scene, and I am reluctant to leave for a long time. Yang Zheng had never experienced such a scene, but he heard the old man right, and he could still recognize the storyteller's eating guy at a glance.

Sure enough, the old man stood up at the long table, then raised the brush plate in his hand high, crackled and began to speak.

"Today we are talking about "Li Jing's Dragon King Shi Yu lost the fate of worship". The old man said loudly.

After 20 years of cultural edification in the Ming Dynasty, many people already understand Han culture, and Li Jing is the first general of the Tang Dynasty, and his reputation is incomparable in the hundreds of years after the Tang Dynasty, so as soon as the old man's voice fell, the crowd immediately cheered.

The old man looked proud, and randomly took a sip of the tea soup on the tea table: "In other words, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo of the Tang Dynasty, was the first general in the early Tang Dynasty, and he was the nephew of Han Baohu, the general of the Sui Dynasty. Li Jing has a "magnificent appearance", has had a "literary and military talent" since he was a child, and is quite enterprising, and is very valued by Yang Su, Yang Su often points to his chair and says: "This chair will be you sitting in the future." However, throughout Li Jing's life, why did he only serve as a general and failed to enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister? This has to start with the legend of Shi Yu, the dragon king of Li Jing's dynasty. “

Thunderous applause immediately erupted on the field.

In fact, Yang Zheng has also heard of this legend, saying that Li Jing often went to Huoshan near his house to shoot hunting when he was a teenager, and when it was late, he lived in a small village at the foot of Huoshan Mountain. Li Jing was able to hunt a lot of prey every time, and the people in the village were amazed by his shooting skills.

One day, it was getting late, and Li Jing was still riding a horse to search in the woods, and suddenly found a group of deer in front of him, and he couldn't help but rise, so he drove his horse to chase after him. But after a while, the sun went down, and the forest was cloudy, and not only were the deer chased after them, but they couldn't even figure out where they were. When Li Jing was in a daze and didn't know where to go, he saw a little light flickering at the end of the woods, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and rushed over to meet the lights. When I got to the front, I saw that it was a big family in Zhumen, and the wall was stiff.

Li Jing got off the saddle and dismounted, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and knocked for a long time before an old man who looked like a family opened a crack in the door and showed his head. Li Jing hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed, telling the truth that he was a lost person, and hoped to spend the night there. The old man looked embarrassed and said, "All the male masters of the family are out, only the lady and other female relatives are at home, I'm afraid it can't be allowed." Li Jing hurriedly bowed to the ground again: "Wanwang old man try to get through." The old man nodded, and turned back to report.

After a long while, he came out with a happy face and said, "Originally, Mrs. Tai was very reluctant, but seeing that it was getting late, Childe got lost again, and finally agreed to let Childe spend the night." Childe, please come with me. Li Jing hurriedly tied his horse and followed the old man into the front hall to see Mrs. Tai. After a while, I saw two little girls leading the way, and a woman over fifty years old came slowly. Mrs. Tai exchanged a few words with Li Jing, saying that her sons were not at home, so she neglected Li Jing. Subsequently, Mrs. Tai ordered the family to prepare dinner for Li Jing and arrange a guest room, and also ordered Li Jing to be sent a bed mattress, which was fragrant and clean, and was very particular.

I didn't want to be in the middle of the night, and suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door outside the house, and the family hurriedly got up to welcome the person to the hall. The person came and said, "The heavenly talisman is here." Let your eldest son apply rain, within seven miles of this mountain, it needs to be completed within five watches, without delay, and the rainfall must not be too large. The family received the heavenly charm, and the person who came left immediately.

At this time, Mrs. Tai had also gotten up to greet her. The family presented the heavenly talisman, and Mrs. Tai suddenly frowned, and said to herself: "The two sons are out of the house. When the rain charm arrives, it is absolutely impossible to shirk, and if you violate the time limit, you will be punished, even if you rush to sue them now, it will not help. And the servants at home don't have this power, how can this be good?" A little maid standing next to her hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The son who stayed overnight tonight is dignified and looks like an unusual person, can you please ask him to help?" Mrs. Tai was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly came to Li Jing's bedroom in person, knocked softly on the door to wake Li Jing up, and invited her to the front hall.

Before Li Jing opened his mouth to ask, Mrs. Tai confessed: "Don't hide it from the son, this mansion is not a human house, but a dragon palace." My eldest son is currently on his way to the East China Sea to attend the wedding, while the younger son is on his way to see off his sister. Just now, I happened to receive a Tianfu asking my eldest son to go to Shi Yu. If you go to inform him, calculate the trip back and forth, I'm afraid there are more than 10,000 miles, and it will be too late to inform him, but now there is no one to replace, so I want to ask you to help him with the rain, I wonder if I can agree?" Li Jing said: "I am an ordinary man, and I can't ride the clouds, how can I walk in the clouds and rain?" However, if you can teach me the method, maybe I can give it a try. ”

The lady was overjoyed, and asked the groom to bring a young horse, and ordered a rain vessel to be fetched, which was a small bottle, to be tied to the saddle. Then he instructed Li Jing to say: "Gongzi rides a horse, don't tighten the horse's tie, let the horse walk on its own." Every time the horse neighs while walking, take a drop of water from the bottle and drop it on the horse's mane, not too much. Li Jingwei said yes.

So, Li Jing turned over and got on the horse, and the green horse soared, and its feet went higher and higher. Li Jing was surprised that this green horse was running fast and steady, and he was already on the clouds unconsciously. At this time, the wind was as fast as an arrow, and the thunder rose from the step. Li Jing followed the neighing of the green horse during the walk, and according to Mrs. Tai's teaching, he took a drop of water from the bottle and dripped it on the horse's mane. After a while, the electric switch opened, and Li Jing saw that it was over the small mountain village where he had to spend the night every time he hunted, and thought: "I disturb this village a lot on weekdays, and I don't know how to repay. Now that the rain is in my hands, it is just enough to give more rain to this village, which can be regarded as a reward. Li Jing thought that just one drop might not be enough, so he sprinkled twenty drops in a row. In an instant, after the rain was over, Li Jing rode back to the Dragon Palace.

As soon as he entered the door, he found Mrs. Tai crying in the hall, Li Jing was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask why. Mrs. Tai said: "Childe misunderstood me." Originally, you and I agreed to only sprinkle one drop at a time, why did you once sprinkle twenty drops in a row without permission. You know, this drop is a foot of water on the ground? That village had become flat in the middle of the night, and where could anyone live? I had been damned, and I had been punished with a rod of eighty, and my back was covered with blood. And after his son comes back, he will be punished together, how can this be good?" Li Jing was dumbfounded, and his heart was ashamed.

Mrs. Tai said: "Childe is a secular person, and I can't blame him for not knowing the changes of clouds and rain." It's just that I'm afraid that the dragon master will come to find it, and it will be troublesome, so it's better for the son to leave quickly. This time, I asked Childe for help, and I haven't repaid it yet. There are no good things in the mountains and villages, so I will give two slaves, you can take them all away, or bring one, please do your own. So, he ordered the second slave to come out. A slave came in from the east corridor, looking kind and pleasant, and a slave came in from the west corridor, full of anger and standing in anger.

Li Jing said: "I hunt and fight fiercely, this slave looks pleasant, and others will think that I am also cowardly." I'm really embarrassed to have two slaves, since Mrs. Tai rewarded me, I'll take the angry one. Mrs. Tai nodded in agreement.
